How can I check if a financial product provider is genuine?

Unfortunately, some financial criminals approach their victims pretending to a legitimate financial provider, financial adviser or broker. It’s important if you are contacted by a new financial professional that you check they are authorised.

  • Providers of life, pension and investment services in Ireland must be authorised by the Central Bank. You can check their list of authorised providers here http://registers.centralbank.ie/ or call the Central Bank on 01 224 4000.
  • If you have been contacted by somebody from Irish Life or about an Irish Life product and are unsure if is genuine, you can check by e-mailing us at corporateinvestigations@irishlife.ie.
