Introducer appointed representative

Ballater Golf Club can only introduce you to their principal, and cannot give financial advice, recommend products, or arrange deals alone.

What does this mean?
  • An introducer appointed representative can only pass your details to its principal firm. It cannot recommend products, give financial advice, or arrange deals on its own.
  • Ballater Golf Club (FRN 1045997) introduces customers to Capital Credit Union Limited (FRN 213575). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Ballater Golf Club.
  • Example: if Ballater Golf Club refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Ballater Golf Club itself.
  • Before you proceed, confirm contact details match the official FCA register for both firms. Scammers sometimes clone legitimate AR names and FRNs but use fake phone numbers and websites.

Identity

Check their details

Compare these against whatever you were given. Scammers clone real firm names and reference numbers but use their own phone number and website, so a detail that does not match the register is the clearest warning sign there is.
