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.
  • COLIN MCGINLEY FUNERAL SERVICE LTD (FRN 981256) introduces customers to Golden Charter Limited (FRN 965279). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not COLIN MCGINLEY FUNERAL SERVICE.
  • Example: if COLIN MCGINLEY FUNERAL SERVICE refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from COLIN MCGINLEY FUNERAL SERVICE 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.
