Entity status, regulatory boundaries, investor disclaimers, privacy policy, and terms of access for the QNTM website and pre-launch materials.

Entity Status

Company formation is underway. Company number, registered office details, and formal entity disclosures will be published here once incorporation is complete.

This website describes a company in formation, a pre-authorisation roadmap, and diligence materials for a planned operating model. It does not describe a live regulated institution.

Regulatory Status

No QNTM entity is currently authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), or any other financial regulatory authority.

The QNTM Bank Project is pursuing a UK PRA + FCA staged authorisation pathway. Phase 1 is foundational build (pre-application engagement). Phase 2 targets Authorisation With Restrictions and UK production launch. Phase 3 closes federated network onboarding under full authorisation. Any filing, review, and approval timeline depends on supervisory engagement, regulatory review, and capital raise progress. Multi-jurisdiction expansion is considered only after UK steady state.

The qntm.financial domain is the interim pre-licence domain. The qntm.bank domain activates only post-FCA banking licence (subject to fTLD verification).

Until regulatory authorisation is granted
  • blockQNTM does not accept client deposits or funds
  • blockQNTM does not execute regulated payment transactions
  • blockQNTM does not provide regulated financial services prior to authorisation

Any sandbox or technical review access provided by QNTM is for integration and testing purposes only. No real funds are held or transferred in those environments.

Nothing on this website constitutes an offer to provide regulated financial services, an invitation to deposit funds, or a solicitation to enter into a regulated financial arrangement.

Financial Promotions

This website may contain information about QNTM's commercial plans, projected operating metrics, and fundraising activities.

Such information is directed exclusively at persons who qualify as Sophisticated Investors or High Net Worth Individuals within the meaning of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, or equivalent definitions under applicable law in the reader's jurisdiction.

This information does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to purchase, any securities. Any such offer or solicitation will be made only pursuant to definitive documentation, and only to investors who satisfy applicable eligibility requirements.

Any prospective investment in a future QNTM operating entity would involve material risk, including the risk of total loss. Prospective investors are advised to conduct independent due diligence and obtain independent legal, financial, and tax advice before making any investment decision.

This communication has not been approved by an authorised person within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Reliance on it for the purpose of engaging in investment activity may expose a person to a significant risk of losing all the funds invested.

These reflect current views and assumptions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ materially.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. QNTM undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events occurring after the date of publication.
