Article summary

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has announced that it is planning a move from six-digit to seven-digit firm reference numbers (FRNs) to uniquely identify firms and product reference numbers (PRNs) to uniquely identify funds. This will apply to all newly registered firms and funds. Firms that have previously been allocated a six-digit FRN or PRN will keep that number.
