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.
  • Vanation Ltd (FRN 1026123) introduces customers to PMD Leasing Limited (FRN 716412). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Vanation.
  • Example: if Vanation refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Vanation 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.
