For the reasons set out in this Final Notice, the Authority hereby takes the

The Authority gave Mohammed Dudu Miah a Decision Notice on 12 May 2014
(“the Decision Notice”) which notified him that for the reasons given below and
pursuant to Regulation 10(1)(j) of the PSR, the Authority had decided to cancel
the registration granted to Mohammed Dudu Miah.

registration.

Services Authority and renamed on 1 April 2013 as the Financial Conduct
Authority;


“the Information” means the information specified in paragraphs 1, 7, 8 and 9 of
Schedule 2 of the PSR, and which was required to be provided by Mohammed

REASONS FOR THE ACTION

6.
On the basis of the facts and matters and conclusions described in the Warning
Notice issued to Mohammed Dudu Miah dated 2 April 2014, and in the Decision
Notice, the Authority has concluded that Mohammed Dudu Miah, a SPI registered
by the Authority to conduct payment services business under the PSR, has failed
to submit material information to the Authority, despite repeated requests by the
Authority that he does so. The Information which has not been submitted is
material because it is specifically required to be provided by Mohammed Dudu
Miah under Regulation 125A(2) of the PSR to enable the Authority to assess
whether Mohammed Dudu Miah meets the ‘fit and proper’ requirements
applicable to him (following amendments to the PSR on 1 October 2012).

7.
As Mohammed Dudu Miah has failed to comply with Regulation 125A(2), the
Authority has cancelled his registration as a SPI, in accordance with Regulation
10(1)(j) of the PSR (as applied by Regulation 14).

DECISION MAKER

8.
The decision which gave rise to the obligation to give this Final Notice was made
