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.
  • FWRD UK LIMITED (FRN 1051670) introduces customers to Affirm U.K. Limited (FRN 756087). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not FWRD UK.
  • Example: if FWRD UK refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from FWRD UK 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.
