Access Finance PLC
Public Statement
Access Finance PLC (“Access”)
www.afplc-online.co.uk (the “Website”)
Banking Business (Jersey) Law 1991, as amended (the “Banking Business Law”)
The Jersey Financial Services Commission (the “Commission”) issues this public statement
under Article 48(2) of the Banking Business Law.
This statement is made in order to warn investors and others against dealing with
unauthorised financial services providers. Access has not received authorisation to conduct
deposit-taking business within the meaning of the Banking Business Law.
It appears to the Commission that Access, as described on the Website, is falsely purporting
to trade from an address of New Street, St. Helier, Jersey, United Kingdom, JE4 and is
carrying on or holding out that it is carrying on deposit-taking business in Jersey when it is
not authorised to do so pursuant to the provisions of the Banking Business Law.
The Commission wishes the following to be known:
1. Access has never been registered, nor applied for registration, under the Banking
Business Law. Therefore any deposit-taking business, as defined in Article 3 of the
Banking Business Law and carried out by Access since 1 October 1991, is in breach of
Article 8 of the Banking Business Law.
2. From documentation held by the Commission, it appears Access and the Website
display warning signs of being set up for a fraudulent purpose.
All regulated businesses in Jersey are listed on our website.
Any person who has had dealings with Access is requested to contact the Commission.
