  • Matthew Algie & Company Limited (FRN 1016604) is an AR of MATTHEW ALGIE (IRELAND) LIMITED (FRN 779803). When you use Matthew Algie & Company's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Matthew Algie & Company, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
  • 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.

Same company

This company holds another FCA record

A company can hold several FCA records, covering different parts of its business, and each one carries its own permissions and protection. The reference number you were given decides which record applies to you.

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.
