KEVIN GOLDFARB AND STEPHEN HUNT APPOINTED JOINT ADMINISTRATORS OF SUPERCAPITAL LIMITED
On 12 September 2019, Supercapital ceased to provide any regulated business and Supercapital has updated its website to this effect.
​
On 27 September 2019, the director of Supercapital Limited placed the company into administration. Kevin Goldfarb and Stephen Hunt, both licensed insolvency practitioners and partners in Griffins, have been appointed as joint Administrators. As Administrators the affairs, business and property of the company will be managed by them.
​
The company safeguards money for clients in relation to payments services provided by the company and one of the first actions of the Administrators is to secure and preserve those monies. The Administrators will ensure that the management and treatment of those client safeguarded funds is undertaken in compliance with the appropriate regulations.
​
Whilst every endeavour will be made to return funds to clients as soon as possible it will be necessary for the Administrators to reconcile the balances and ensure that the necessary due diligence and know your client information is present, current and correct. That process will be undertaken with the utmost care and diligence to ensure that funds are correctly returned.

Unsecured creditors can access further information about administrations and their rights in a free publication produced by R3.

​
Are my funds protected by FSCS?
​
No. The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) only applies to certain types of activity. This does not include payment services.
​
Under the Payment Systems Regulations, there are requirements on how customers’ money should be protected and these requirements are known as ‘safeguarding’.
​
Further details of what is covered by the scheme can be found at www.fscs.org.uk
