Reason for this visit

According to the Reuters, the United Kingdom has expanded its leading position in the field of global FX trading in the years since it voted to leave the European Union. In addition, the British retail foreign exchange market has one of the world's three most stringent regulatory bodies, that is the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Many FX dealers take obtaining FCA regulation for pride, and also hope to enter the country to develop market business. To help investors or practitioners have a more comprehensive understanding of the dealers in that country, the survey team is going to UK for site visits.

On-site visit

This time the survey team went to London, England to visit the foreign exchange dealer Earthport as planned. The survey address is 5Th Floor 140 AldersGaTe STreeT London EC1A 4HY UNITED KINGDOM.

The survey personnel came to the destination of the survey based on the above address. The building is located in the east of London. It is a five-minute walk from the Barbican underground station. The building has a modern architectural style and the floor plate is quite conspicuous.

Conclusion

The investigators went to visit the foreign exchange dealer Earthport in London, England as planned. They did not find the dealer’s office on the publicly displayed address, and the dealer simply registered the company at that address without real business premises. Investors are requested to choose the dealer carefully.
