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.
  • Gateways Educational Trust (FRN 977190) introduces customers to Premium Credit Limited (FRN 702718). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Gateways Educational Trust.
  • Example: if Gateways Educational Trust refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Gateways Educational Trust 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.
