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 Holdings Limited (FRN 408580) introduces customers to Car Benefit Loans Limited (FRN 313849). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Car Benefit Holdings.
  • Example: if Car Benefit Holdings refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Car Benefit Holdings 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.
