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.
  • Car Benefit Energy Finance Limited (FRN 408581) introduces customers to Car Benefit Loans Limited (FRN 313849). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Car Benefit Energy Finance.
  • Example: if Car Benefit Energy Finance refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Car Benefit Energy Finance 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.
