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.
  • Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (FRN 932681) introduces customers to Cycle Solutions (Cycle to Work) Limited (FRN 722968). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency.
  • Example: if Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency 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.
