FCA References

We have also enhanced how we display results within the final report by adding a list of employers from which we have sought references, whether the employer is regulated by the FCA and whether we received a ‘regulated reference’ from them.

FCA references will only be sought if you have a package of background checks agreed with Verifile that includes FCA references. To set up a package or for any further information, please contact your Account Manager.
