MobilityOne withdrew its application to Financial Conduct Authority

MobilityOne Ltd said on Thursday it withdrew its revised application to the UK Financial Conduct Authority regarding the planned expansion of its operations in the UK through its subsidiary M-one Tech Ltd, as the FCA again asked for more information.

MobilityOne shares fell 20% in London on Thursday morning to 6.44 pence each.

The Oxfordshire, England-based provider of payment solutions and e-commerce infrastructure platforms said it had received feedback from the FCA requesting more information on disclosures related to M-one Tech’s proposed business plan. The company stated that it is reviewing its business plan in the UK and its option to submit a further revised FCA application.

On 23 January, following a request for more information from the FCA, MobilityOne had again submitted a revised application to the FCA for authorisation as an electronic money institution to offer e-money services in the UK.
