University of East Anglia

University of East Anglia (FRN 1014061) is not directly authorised. It is an appointed representative acting under the responsibility of a directly authorised principal firm.

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. University of East Anglia (FRN 1014061) introduces customers to SME HCI Limited (FRN 626422). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not University of East Anglia. Example: if University of East Anglia refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from University of East Anglia 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.

The FCA register lists the phone number 01603 456161 and the website UEA.ac.uk for University of East Anglia. If you were given different contact details, use these to check with the firm before going any further.

University of East Anglia 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.

Protection works through SME HCI Limited, the principal firm responsible for University of East Anglia's regulated activity. FSCS cover and the Financial Ombudsman Service apply as they would to the principal.
