verdantam.com: Check the Authorisation, Not the Address

The FCA added verdantam.com to its Warning List on 1 October 2026. The firm presents a Canary Wharf address alongside one in New York. Neither alters the central fact: it holds no UK authorisation to provide or promote financial services.

The FCA's record

The FCA records verdantam.com as an unauthorised firm that may be seeking business from people in the UK. The entry gives two addresses, one in Great Neck, New York, and one at Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London.

It also lists a United States telephone number and two email addresses on the verdantam.com domain.

What the absence of authorisation means

Without authorisation, neither the Financial Ombudsman Service nor the Financial Services Compensation Scheme applies. Funds paid to the firm carry no statutory protection if it disappears.

Where a payment to a fraudster was made on or after 7 October 2024, the Payment Systems Regulator's reimbursement rules may apply. The sending bank is the first point of contact.

An address in an established financial district reads as credibility. It is not evidence of it: any firm can cite an address, and the FCA itself cautions that listed details may belong to an unrelated business. Authorisation is a matter of record, not location, and the record is what should be checked.
