Mercury Trade Credit Netherlands B.V. (UK Branch)

Mercury Trade Credit Netherlands B.V. (UK Branch) (FRN 994358) is not directly authorised. It is an appointed representative acting under the responsibility of a directly authorised principal firm.

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. Mercury Trade Credit Netherlands B.V. (UK Branch) (FRN 994358) is an AR of City Insurance Brokers Ltd (FRN 831252). When you use Mercury Trade Credit Netherlands B.V. (UK Branch)'s services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm. Example: if you take financial advice from Mercury Trade Credit Netherlands B.V. (UK Branch), 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.

The FCA register lists the phone number +31 088 310 1800 and the website mercurytc.com for Mercury Trade Credit Netherlands B.V. (UK Branch). If you were given different contact details, use these to check with the firm before going any further.

Mercury Trade Credit Netherlands B.V. (UK Branch) 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.
