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.
  • Vertical Travel Limited (FRN 943882) introduces customers to ONLINE TRAVEL INSURANCE SERVICES LIMITED (FRN 480416). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Vertical Travel.
  • Example: if Vertical Travel refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Vertical Travel 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.

Identity

Check their details
