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.
  • P&O Ferries Holdings Limited (FRN 497571) introduces customers to Cycle Solutions (Cycle to Work) Limited (FRN 722968). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not P&O Ferries Holdings.
  • Example: if P&O Ferries Holdings refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from P&O Ferries 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.
