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.
  • Travelex Currency Services Ltd (FRN 977820) introduces customers to Tesco Personal Finance Limited (FRN 186022). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Travelex Currency Services.
  • Example: if Travelex Currency Services refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Travelex Currency Services 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.
