About FraudMarkers

An independent reference for people dealing with a CIFAS fraud marker, a closed or frozen bank account, or de-banking.

Why this exists

One place for the answers

Tens of thousands of people search for CIFAS markers every month. The official information is spread across Cifas, the Financial Ombudsman, the ICO, the FCA and legislation, and most of the rest is written by firms selling a service.

FraudMarkers brings it together in plain English. Every guide cites the source it relies on, and says when it was last reviewed.
