UK Financial Services: A data driven overview for the Financial Conduct Authority
2025
In partnership with the FCA, Beauhurst’s Research & Consultancy team analysed key trends within the UK financial services sector and how the market has responded to new regulatory regimes.

Financial services are vital to the UK economy. It supports thousands of jobs, drives investment and is a major source of tax receipts which keep the economy afloat.
But it is changing quickly. Over the last decade we’ve seen the rise of new industries such as FinTech and Cryptocurrencies which are revolutionising the sector. Tracking and regulating this change is essential to ensuring the UK remains a financial services superpower in the years ahead.
Produced in partnership with the Financial Conduct Authority, Beauhurst’s latest report examines the performance of the UK’s financial services sector since its inception and analyses how the market has responded to new regulation.
