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 OPTIMUS PRIME as planned. The survey address is Birchin CourT 20 Birchin Lane London EC3V 9DU UNITED KINGDOM.

The survey personnel came to the destination of the survey based on the above address, which was located in the "bank station" in central London. The building was in an alley, about ten minutes' walk from the subway station. It was not close to the main street. The office building style was quite satisfactory, and there were employees at the front desk in the building. The survey personnel did not find any information about the foreign exchange dealer OPTIMUS PRIME near the destination.

Conclusion

The investigators went to visit the foreign exchange dealer OPTIMUS PRIME 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.
