Appointed representative
This firm does not hold FCA authorisation of its own, and acts under a principal firm, which is legally responsible for its regulated business.
Responsible principal firm
MOMENTUM BROKER SOLUTIONS LTD Reference number: 526435 View firm →What does this mean?
- An appointed representative (AR) can carry out regulated financial services, but is not directly authorised by the FCA. A principal firm holds the authorisation and is legally responsible for the AR's conduct.
- Bowers Broker Services Limited (FRN 1038653) is an AR of MOMENTUM BROKER SOLUTIONS LTD (FRN 526435). When you use Bowers Broker Services's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
- Example: if you take financial advice from Bowers Broker Services, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
- 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
