Introducer appointed representative
This firm can only introduce you to its principal, and cannot give financial advice, recommend products, or arrange deals alone.
Responsible principal firm
Benifex Financial Solutions Ltd Reference number: 468665 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.
- Zellis UK Limited (FRN 512021) introduces customers to Benifex Financial Solutions Ltd (FRN 468665). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Zellis UK.
- Example: if Zellis UK refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Zellis UK 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.
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.
