Final Notice
FINAL NOTICE 
ACTION 
 
1. 
For the reasons set out in this Final Notice, the Authority hereby takes the 
following action against Safe Reliable Services Limited.  
2. 
The Authority (the body corporate previously known as the Financial Services 
Authority and renamed on 1 April 2013 as the Financial Conduct Authority) gave 
Safe Reliable Services Limited a Decision Notice on 2 October 2013 (the “Decision 
Notice”) which notified Safe Reliable Services Limited that for the reasons given 
below and pursuant to Regulation 10(1)(h) of the Payment Services Regulations 
2009 (the “PSR”), the Authority had decided to cancel the registration granted to 
Safe Reliable Services Limited as a small payment institution under the PSR. 
3. 
Safe Reliable Services Limited has not referred the matter to the Upper Tribunal 
(Tax and Chancery Chamber) within 28 days of the date on which the Decision 
Notice was given to Safe Reliable Services Limited. 
4. 
Accordingly, the Authority has today cancelled Safe Reliable Services Limited’s 
registration as a small payment institution. 
REASONS FOR ACTION  
 
5. 
On the basis of the facts and matters and conclusions described in the Warning 
Notice dated 9 September 2013 (the “Warning Notice”), and in the Decision 
Notice, the Authority has concluded that Safe Reliable Services Limited has failed 
to submit the Payment Services Directive Transactions return (the “FSA057”), for 
the period ended 31 December 2012 (which was due to be submitted to the 
Authority by 31 January 2013), and to respond adequately to repeated Authority 
requests that it submit the FSA057. 
6. 
These failings lead the Authority to conclude that Safe Reliable Services Limited 
has failed to comply with the requirement that it submit the FSA057 to the 
Authority, that Safe Reliable Services Limited has failed to demonstrate a 
readiness and willingness to comply with its ongoing regulatory obligations and 
has failed to deal with the Authority in an open and co-operative way. It is 
therefore desirable to cancel Safe Reliable Services Limited’s registration as a 
small payment institution in order to protect the interests of consumers, in 
accordance with Regulation 10(1)(h) of the PSR (as applied by Regulation 14). 
DECISION MAKER 
 
7. 
The decision which gave rise to the obligation to give this Final Notice was made 
by the Regulatory Decisions Committee. 
8. 
This Final Notice is given to Safe Reliable Services Limited in accordance with 
section 390(1) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “Act”) (as 
applied by paragraph 7(b) of Part 1 of Schedule 5 to the PSR). 
PUBLICITY 
 
9. 
Sections 391(4), 391(6) and 391(7) of the Act (as applied by paragraph 7(c) of 
Part 1 of Schedule 5 of the PSR) apply to the publication of information about the 
matter to which this Final Notice relates. Under those provisions, the Authority 
must publish such information about the matter to which this Final Notice relates

Final Notice relates as it considers appropriate.
