Responsible principal firm
Rubber Ring Financial Services Limited Reference number: 912930 View firm →What does this mean?
- 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.
- Scottsdale Golf (U.K.) Limited (FRN 1052673) is an AR of Rubber Ring Financial Services Limited (FRN 912930). When you use Scottsdale Golf (U.K.)'s services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
- Example: if you take financial advice from Scottsdale Golf (U.K.), 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.
This company holds 2 other FCA records
A company can hold several FCA records, covering different parts of its business, and each one carries its own permissions and protection. The reference number you were given decides which record applies to you.
Website, phone number and address
Compare these against whatever you were given. Scammers clone real firm names and reference numbers but use their own phone number and website, so a detail that does not match the register is the clearest warning sign there is.
