“The Registrar authorised Andiset (Pty) Ltd trading as All Things Financial with FSP Number 45823 to conduct business as a financial services provider on 07 April 2015.

“The FSB can confirm that Andiset (Pty) Ltd trading as All Things Financial is not associated or linked to Olmen Finance Services and is, therefore, not authorised to use the FSP number 45823.”

The FSB said people should phone 0800110 443 or visit www.fsb.co.za to check whether institutions or people are authorised to render financial services.
