  • Porsche Financial Services Great Britain Limited (FRN 403531) is an AR of Volkswagen Financial Services (UK) Limited (FRN 311988). When you use Porsche Financial Services Great Britain's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Porsche Financial Services Great Britain, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
