Service

Moneyworld provides a non-advised ‘execution only’ service for insurance, investment and retirement products.

Moneyworld will not offer any financial advice or guidance for any of the products available on our website. If a customer requires financial advice we recommend that they contact an independent financial adviser.

Due to the nature of our service, we will not review any investment you have purchased via our company

We do not handle clients’ money, we will only accept client money in respect of our fees for arranging investments and insurance. Client investments must always be paid directly to the investment company by cheque or electronic payment.

Our charges/remuneration

Our income comes either from fees paid by the customer or by commission paid to us from an insurance company. We will always make you aware what our fee is or how much commission is being paid to us.

Clients should be aware that if they are unhappy with any response to a complaint received from us, they may complain directly to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

Financial Services Compensation Scheme

Moneyworld contributes to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), providing compensation where there have been omissions by us resulting in a loss to a customer. The actual level of compensation you could receive will depend on the basis of your claim. The FSCS only pays compensation for financial loss. Compensation limits are per person per firm, and per claim category. For full details of what the FSCS covers together with compensation levels please visit the FSCS ‘what we cover’ page on their website.

Please be aware that buying protection products without advice will affect your right to recourse via the Financial Ombudsman Service, this is only in the event of the suitability of a product bought on a non-advised basis. You could still make a claim to the ombudsman about the service received, unclear or misleading information or that you received information equivalent to advice prior to an execution-only sale taking place.

Moneyworld ensures all data is held in compliance with current and future legislation. A client has the right to a copy of all information we hold about them, and to correct any inaccuracies. We will maintain records of data we hold on clients for a minimum period of 6 years from the date of their transaction. Further information can be found in our Privacy Policy.
