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 OCTO as planned. The survey address is 33 Holborn London EC1N 2HT UNITED KINGDOM.

The survey personnel came to the destination of the survey based on the above address, which is an office building located on the corner of the street, very close to Holborn. The space inside is large, the front desk is also large, and the glass windows and interior are clean. Unfortunately, the investigators cannot find the logo or other information of the foreign exchange dealer OCTO here.

Conclusion

The investigators went to London to visit the foreign exchange dealer OCTO 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 and did not have a real business place. Investors are advised to choose the dealer carefully.
