CautionThis record
Active, with enough evidence to score, but short of Verified. Read the reason before you deposit.
High risk
Verified adverse evidence only: a regulator warning, or a licence revoked or suspended in the last 2 years.
Insufficient data
Not enough verified evidence yet to rate. Not a judgement either way.
