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.
  • UMBRELLA-COMPANY LIMITED (FRN 743437) introduces customers to Interactive Investor Services Limited (FRN 141282). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not UMBRELLA-COMPANY.
  • Example: if UMBRELLA-COMPANY refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from UMBRELLA-COMPANY 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.
