About the FCA and team
We regulate financial services firms in the UK, to keep financial markets fair, thriving and effective. By joining us, you’ll play a key part in protecting consumers, driving economic growth, and shaping the future of UK finance services.
SPC oversees firms and individuals (supervision), creates and reviews the rules by which they operate (policy) and identifies and remedies ineffective competition in markets (competition). Sitting in the Payments and Digital Assets directorate, the Policy department develops policy to address the challenges and opportunities the FCA identifies in crypto, open banking, open finance sectors.
The Stablecoins Policy team sits alongside Crypto and Payment Policy teams in the Payments and Digital Assets Department and plays a critical role in leading the FCA's policy work on stablecoins. The interest and potential use of stablecoins continues to grow at great pace, creating both opportunities for consumers and regulated participants, but also new risks that we must stay ahead of. It is the Stablecoin Policy team’s role to devise and drive this work forward, liaising with multiple internal stakeholders, HMT, Bank of England, industry, and international regulators to propose a future regulatory framework.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
