How to find a regulated pension advisor in Ireland

Use the Central Bank register to verify the legal firm behind a trading name, then compare authorisation, services, fees and conflicts before sharing financial details or transferring a pension.

Check the legal entity, not just the brand. Search the Central Bank of Ireland register and confirm that the services you need appear within the firm's permissions. A register entry is evidence of regulatory status; it is not an endorsement of quality or suitability.
