Prohibited and Restricted Businesses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UK First Fintech Limited\uff08UKFF\uff09 builds economic infrastructure for the internet that enables businesses to accept payments and access other financial services. We want to make it easier for businesses of all kinds \u2013 from large enterprises to small businesses \u2013 to start, run and grow. We aim for our platform to be broadly accessible, just like other forms of infrastructure, such as roads or telecommunications networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crucially, in the area of political expression, we want to avoid becoming an arbiter of what speech is legitimate. At UKFF, we do not restrict access to our services based on political viewpoints or affiliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a financial services company, we have to adhere to financial laws and regulations, as well as rules and policies set by our financial partners, such as card networks and banking partners. This means we aren’t able to support some businesses, even if we might desire to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-compliance
As a user of UKFF Issuing, you must comply with our US compliance guidelines (or see the EU- and UK-specific guidelines), and our compliance teams might ask you to update your marketing materials or aspects of your user experience.
