Purpose

The UK foreign exchange market, a globally significant market developed in modern times, boasts a long history and vibrant trading activity, serving as one of the core hubs for global forex transactions. To assist investors or practitioners in gaining a more comprehensive understanding of forex brokers in this region, an on-site inspection team conducted field visits in the UK.

Process

The on-site inspection team visited the forex broker InteractiveBrokers in the UK as scheduled. According to public information, its office address is 20 Fenchurch Street, Floor 12, London EC3M 3BY, United Kingdom.

A professional and experienced on-site inspection team, driven by a sense of mission to rigorously vet for investors, follows a meticulous plan to visit target areas in the UK and conducts on-site verification of the trader InteractiveBrokers claimed to be located at the aforementioned address.

The inspection personnel successfully arrived at the target building, which is located in the heart of London and is a super luxurious building with a strong commercial atmosphere in the surrounding area. However, no company logo or related information was found on the exterior of the building.

The inspector entered the building lobby and, after stating their purpose to the security guard, obtained permission to enter. However, once inside the building, they found no signage information related to InteractiveBrokers, and photography was also prohibited within the premises.

Without an appointment, when inquiring about InteractiveBrokers at the building's front desk, the receptionist was unwilling to provide relevant information. The on-site investigator was unable to reach the target floor (12th floor), thus failing to confirm the specific location or enter the company premises. Since access to the company was denied, it was impossible to photograph the reception area or the company's logo. Additionally, the office is not a shared workspace.

Through the building lobby, the internal environment of the company cannot be observed, and the overall situation does not meet the need for further understanding of its claimed positioning.

Therefore, after on-site verification, it is confirmed that the broker InteractiveBrokers does not exist at the above address.

Conclusion

The on-site investigator visited the forex broker InteractiveBrokers in the UK as planned. The broker's company name and other information were not found at the publicly displayed business address, indicating that the broker does not have a genuine physical office. Investors are advised to make their choices after careful consideration.
