Abstract：UK’s FCA adds Ledger Light FX, fx-alpha.com, RIFA FX, InvestCAN, and NitroPrime to its unauthorised list. Learn the risks of unregulated brokers and how to stay alert.

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published new warnings against five firms suspected of offering financial services without proper authorisation. These entities are not registered with the FCA, meaning they lack the permissions required to provide investment or trading services in the United Kingdom. Engaging with such firms places investors at risk of losing their funds with little or no recourse.

Firms Named in the Latest FCA Warning

1.Ledger Light FX

Address: Aylmer Road, East Finchley, London, N2 0AT
Email: contact@ledgerlightfx.cfd
Website: ledgerlightfx.cfd

Ledger Light FX has been flagged as operating without FCA approval. Investors are advised to avoid all contact with this entity.

2.fx-alpha.com

Address: 10 Fenchurch Street, London, EC3M 3BE
Telephone: +44 7366 478506
Email: info@fx-alpha.com
Website: fx-alpha.com

Despite presenting itself as a UK-based trading platform, fx-alpha.com is not authorised to provide investment services.

3.RIFA FX

Address: 128 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX
Telephone: +44 7488 848671 / +44 7488 848637

Social Media: facebook.com/RifaFXofficial，youtube.com/@RifaFX, x.com/rifafx7, uk.linkedin.com/company/rifa-fx, Instagram.com/rifa_fx_official

RIFA FX has built a strong online presence through social media platforms, but the FCA has confirmed it holds no authorisation to operate in the UK.

4.InvestCAN

Website: investcan.net

The platform InvestCAN is also named in the latest warning list. No evidence of authorisation was found.

5.NitroPrime

Address: Batchley Rd, Redditch
Email: support@nitroprime-capitaltrades.net
Website: nitroprime-capitaltrades.net

NitroPrime claims to provide capital trading services but is not recognised by the FCA.

What This Means for Investors

The FCA emphasises that dealing with firms not authorised in the UK leaves investors without access to regulatory protections, including the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). If problems arise, recovering funds may be extremely difficult.

Staying Vigilant

Scammers often rely on urgency and professional branding to win trust. The safest step for traders is to confirm licensing before depositing funds and to review independent exposure reports available on WikiFX.
