According to BlockBeats, on October 4, CoinDesk reported that cryptocurrency payment company BCB Group was previously under investigation by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The investigation, which began late last year, has now concluded. Two sources familiar with the matter, who requested anonymity due to the private nature of the information, confirmed this development.

The FCA had issued a so-called s166 notice to BCB Group, initiating the investigation. A source close to BCB indicated that the outcome of the investigation was positive for the company. Additionally, a third source mentioned that BCB is engaged in constructive discussions with regulators about expanding its licensing scope.

BCB Group's CEO, Oliver Tonkin, commented via email, stating, 'BCB Group has always prioritized compliance in its business activities and will continue to do so. We maintain regular, open, and transparent dialogue with all regulatory bodies, and from our perspective, our relationships with all regulators are in good standing. Our interactions with the FCA remain positive, and recently, we have received permission to expand our regulatory scope in the UK, should we choose to do so.'
