Is Propnology regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)?

Propnology is directly authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under firm reference 650066 to operate as a Property Crowdfunding platform.

Why do I need to provide so much personal information during the registration process?

To comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations, investors are required to provide comprehensive personal information: furthermore, they need to verify their identity and residence, by uploading 2 approved documents - from the list provided - during the sign-up process. Investors may upload and submit these documents at any time, prior to making their first crowdfunding investment and are encouraged to complete this process at the earliest opportunity.

Additionally, to comply with FCA regulations and demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the crowdfunding process, investors are required to select an Investor Profile and complete an appropriateness test. Participants will be categorised accordingly which will further determine the types of investment opportunities available to them.

Can I invest if I am resident outside the UK?

Yes, however, investors not resident in the U.K must first satisfy themselves that they are not subject to any local requirements that prohibit or restrict them from doing so. Payments to Propnology must be made in £GBP, and may be subject to additional bank or card charges.
