How CFEB is funded
During first year of operation, to April 2011, CFEB will receive £32.9 million in funding from fees raised from financial services firms regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.
The Financial Services Act 2010, which formed CFEB, will also allow CFEB to be funded in the future through public funds, dormant accounts, and consumer credit firms through the levies they pay to the Office of Fair Trading.
