The UK Crowdfunding Association was formed in 2013 with the purpose of promoting the interests of crowdfunding platforms, their investors, and clients. By working together and speaking with one voice the UKCFA are successfully cooperating with regulators and lawmakers to take the industry forward as a force for positive change in the UK’s financial sector.
The UKCFA uphold certain standards, requiring members to agree the UKCFA code of conduct, and champion crowdfunding with various promotional and lobbying activities. Members also agree to support calls for a strong regulatory framework, which will protect platforms, businesses, and investors without stifling the industry’s capacity for growth.
