5.1.3 Relevant Institutions

Relevant institutions that are subject to specific reporting obligations, as set out in UK regulations made under the Sanctions Act, are persons that have permission under Part 4A of FSMA 2000 (Permission to carry on regulated activities).

There is an obligation for relevant institutions to inform OFSI without delay if that institution:

- credits a frozen account or relevant account (as defined in the applicable UK regulations) where it receives funds transferred to that institution for crediting that account, [you can comply with this exception here.](https://submit.forms.service.gov.uk/form/6293/complying-with-the-exception-credits-to-and-transfers-out-of-frozen-accounts-and-relevant-accounts/) - transfers funds from a frozen account or relevant account with a relevant institution conducting excluded activity (within the meaning of section 142D of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000) to an account with a ring-fenced body (within the meaning of section 142A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000) when both accounts are held or controlled (directly or indirectly) by the same designated person in relation to whom the exception permitting this transfer under the application regulation applies

Definitions of ‘relevant institution’ can be found in the ‘Exceptions and Licences’ part of the statutory instrument for each sanctions regime. The regimes can be found on our [UK sanctions regimes page](https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/uk-sanctions-regimes-under-the-sanctions-act).
