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.
  • The Blue Coat School Birmingham Limited (FRN 1021894) introduces customers to Premium Credit Limited (FRN 702718). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not The Blue Coat School Birmingham.
  • Example: if The Blue Coat School Birmingham refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from The Blue Coat School Birmingham 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.
