Chartered Institute of Linguists

Chartered Institute of Linguists (FRN 1024090) is not directly authorised. It is an appointed representative acting under the responsibility of a directly authorised principal firm.

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. Chartered Institute of Linguists (FRN 1024090) introduces customers to Trafalgar Risk Management Limited (FRN 311662). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Chartered Institute of Linguists. Example: if Chartered Institute of Linguists refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Chartered Institute of Linguists 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.

The FCA register lists the phone number +440 and the website ciol.org.uk for Chartered Institute of Linguists. If you were given different contact details, use these to check with the firm before going any further.

Chartered Institute of Linguists is a genuine FCA-listed firm, and the FCA has published no warnings about fake versions of it. Scammers do copy real firms, though, so check that any contact details you were given match the ones on the register.

Protection works through Trafalgar Risk Management Limited, the principal firm responsible for Chartered Institute of Linguists's regulated activity. FSCS cover and the Financial Ombudsman Service apply as they would to the principal.
