About this institution
Verified active. Uber Payments UK Limited holds a current electronic money licence issued by the Financial Conduct Authority on 20 December 2022. The licence reference is 959722.

The register lists no EEA passporting activity.

Is your money safe with Uber Payments UK Limited?
Uber Payments UK Limited holds an e-money authorisation from Financial Conduct Authority, which means client money must be safeguarded: held separately from the firm's own funds at a credit institution, or covered by an equivalent insurance policy. E-money is not a bank deposit - it is not covered by the FSCS, so there is no automatic compensation payout if the firm fails.
If an authorised EMI becomes insolvent, safeguarded funds sit outside the insolvency estate and are returned to customers by the administrator - repayment can take time, and administration costs may be deducted along the way.
