Responsible principal firm
Rhino Protect Limited Reference number: 772055 View firm →What does this mean?
- 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.
- Vebra Solutions Limited (FRN 1017585) introduces customers to Rhino Protect Limited (FRN 772055). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Vebra Solutions.
- Example: if Vebra Solutions refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Vebra Solutions 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.
This company holds another FCA record
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.
