Last chance to pay FCA fees
23 September 2020
September 22, 2020 – London. As the FCA sends out its final letters to regulated firms requesting payment of their annual fees, Premium Credit continues to offer businesses a finance facility to spread their fees over convenient monthly repayments rather than having to pay in one lump sum.
Over 50,000 regulated firms are due to pay FCA fees before the end of the year, typically ranging from a few hundred pounds to several million. With some businesses seeing their fees rise by as much as 80% compared to 2019, Premium Credit is experiencing strong demand for their credit facility from both existing customers and those choosing to fund their fees using finance for the first time. This alternative payment method is designed to give firms greater control over cash-flow, allowing their cash reserves to work more effectively for their current business needs.
Roger Brown, Chief Commercial Officer, Premium Credit Specialist Lending commented:
“As payment deadlines for FCA fees draw closer, working with Premium Credit is a consideration for those businesses looking for wider payment options.
It’s a simple digital application process. With years of significant investment in technology we ensure the whole customer journey is a smooth, seamless process – we as the lender undertake the bulk of the administration.
At the end of the day the FCA fees need to be met by the UK’s regulated companies and in the easiest way possible for these firms. Not all are aware of the credit solutions that can be provided enabling fees to be paid in convenient monthly amounts. We’ve been providing this service for 14 years and it continues to increase in popularity.”
Premium Credit advises that it’s important to act in a timely way so firms have the opportunity to consider the best fee payment option and avoid a financial penalty for any late response.
