PCS is authorised as a third party verification agent

15 March 2019

PCS was authorised as a third party verification agent by the UK Financial Conduct Authority.

 

PCS will be able to provide verifications for European originators of the STS status of their transactions in line with Article 27 of the STS Regulation with immediate effect.

The authorisation is valid for the entire European Union and will continue to be so for so long as the United Kingdom remains in the European Union (including as a result of any deferral of the departure date under Article 50) or, in the event of a deal being struck, during the transition period expected to last 18 months.  In the case of a “no deal” Brexit on March 29, PCS also anticipates receiving its French authorisation in the first days of April allowing us to continue to serve the EU27.
