Introducer appointed representative
This firm can only introduce you to its principal, and cannot give financial advice, recommend products, or arrange deals alone.
Responsible principal firm
Klarna Financial Services UK Limited Reference number: 987889 View firm →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.
- Back Market UK LTD (FRN 1058320) introduces customers to Klarna Financial Services UK Limited (FRN 987889). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Back Market UK.
- Example: if Back Market UK refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Back Market UK 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.
Website, phone number and address
Compare these against whatever you were given. Scammers clone real firm names and reference numbers but use their own phone number and website, so a detail that does not match the register is the clearest warning sign there is.
