Mr Stuart John Hankin

Mr Stuart John Hankin (FRN 406477) 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. Mr Stuart John Hankin (FRN 406477) is an AR of Mortgage Next Network Limited (FRN 300866). When you use Mr Stuart John Hankin's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm. Example: if you take financial advice from Mr Stuart John Hankin, 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 01257 424999 for Mr Stuart John Hankin. If you were given different contact details, use these to check with the firm before going any further.

Mr Stuart John Hankin 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.
