ACTION
1.
For the reasons set out in this Final Notice, the Financial Services Authority (the
“FSA”) hereby takes the following action against Artif Reyaz trading as Insurepay
(“Mr Reyaz”).
2.
The FSA gave Mr Reyaz a Decision Notice on 15 March 2012 (the “Decision
Notice”), which notified Mr Reyaz that, for the reasons given below and pursuant to
section 45 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “Act”), the FSA had
decided to cancel the permission granted to Mr Reyaz under Part IV of the Act (“Mr
Reyaz’s Part IV permission”).
3.
Mr Reyaz has not referred the matter to the Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery
Division) within 28 days of the date on which the Decision Notice was given to him.
4.
Accordingly, the FSA has today cancelled Mr Reyaz’s Part IV permission.

REASONS FOR ACTION
5.
On the basis of the facts and matters and conclusions described in the Warning Notice
issued to Mr Reyaz dated 2 February 2012, and in the Decision Notice, it appears to
the FSA that Mr Reyaz is failing to satisfy the threshold conditions set out in
Schedule 6 to the Act (the "Threshold Conditions").
6.
This is because Mr Reyaz has failed to pay fees and levies of £1,016.83 owed to the
FSA, despite repeated FSA requests that he does so.
7.
This failing, which is significant in the context of Mr Reyaz’s suitability, leads the
FSA to conclude that Mr Reyaz is not conducting his business soundly and prudently
and in compliance with proper standards and that Mr Reyaz is not a fit and proper
person, and that Mr Reyaz is therefore failing to satisfy the Threshold Conditions in
relation to the regulated activities for which he has had Part IV permission.
DECISION MAKER
8.
The decision which gave rise to the obligation to give this Final Notice was made by
the Regulatory Decisions Committee.
9.
This Final Notice is given to Mr Reyaz in accordance with section 390(1) of the Act.
PUBLICITY
10.

11.
