  • GMT Mortgage Bureau and Financial Consultancy (FRN 191184) is an AR of Openwork Limited (FRN 408285). When you use GMT Mortgage Bureau and Financial Consultancy's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from GMT Mortgage Bureau and Financial Consultancy, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
