Two ways to work with Meridian

Dealer partner or IAR

Dealers need to be FCA authorised for credit broking, or become an Introducer Appointed Representative of ours. Either way, we will talk you through it.

Already FCA authorised

Dealer partner

If you hold your own FCA permission for credit broking, we can work with you directly. Introduce customers, send proposals through the portal and we will place them with the right lender.

Become a dealer partner

Not yet authorised

Introducer Appointed Representative

Become Meridian’s IAR and introduce customers under our FCA authorisation. We take responsibility for the regulated activity; you introduce, and we look after the rest.
