Purpose

The UK foreign exchange market has developed into a globally significant forex market through a long-term financial evolution process, characterized by its long history, substantial trading volume, numerous market participants, and diverse trading instruments. It holds a pivotal position in global foreign exchange trading, with many international financial institutions conducting business there. To assist investors or practitioners in gaining a more comprehensive understanding of forex brokers in this region, the on-site inspection team conducted field visits in the UK.

Process

In this issue, the on-site verification team visited the forex broker Alpfin in the United Kingdom as planned. According to public information, its office address is Level 7 1 Canada Square Canary Wharf London E14 5AAE 1 4 5 A A UNITED KINGDOM.

A professional and experienced on-site inspection team, driven by a sense of mission to rigorously vet for investors, meticulously planned and traveled to the United Kingdom to conduct an on-site verification of the broker Alpfin, which claims to be located at Level 7, 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5AA, UNITED KINGDOM.

The on-site investigator successfully arrived at the corresponding ultra-luxury office building, which is located in London's financial district, surrounded by financial giants, with a strong commercial atmosphere. However, no signage or relevant information of the company was found on the exterior of the building.

The on-site investigator entered the building lobby and stated their purpose to the security personnel. After communication, permission was obtained to enter the lobby.

However, due to the lack of an appointment, the on-site inspection personnel were unable to access the target floor to confirm the specific location. No directory information for Alpfin was found on the first floor, and the company's logo was not seen either inside or outside the building. Without an appointment or relevant authorization, the inspection personnel could not enter the company, were unable to photograph the reception area and its logo, and the office space was not a shared office.

The company's internal office environment cannot be observed through public areas either, as entry is simply not permitted. Overall, upon arriving at the building, despite its location in a core area like London's financial district, there is no directory information on the ground floor, and without an appointment, one cannot go upstairs, making it impossible to confirm whether the company actually exists.

Therefore, after on-site verification, it has been confirmed that broker Alpfin does not exist at the above address.

Conclusion

The on-site inspection team visited the forex broker Alpfin in the UK as planned. At its publicly displayed business address, no information such as the broker's company name was found, indicating that the broker does not have a genuine physical business location. Investors are advised to make their choices after comprehensive consideration.
