Reasons for Field Survey

Turkey's foreign exchange market is highly active, with no foreign exchange controls. Residents can freely hold foreign currency and remit funds in and out without restrictions. In recent years, investor interest in Turkish forex trading has grown, attracting numerous international financial institutions. To help investors accurately understand the actual performance of brokers in the region and mitigate the risks associated with information bias, the field research team conducted a field visit to Turkey.

Field Survey Process

This issue's field research team conducted a planned on-site visit to the forex broker ING in Turkey. Publicly available information lists its office address as Reşit Paşa Mahallesi Eski Büyükdere Caddesi No:8 Kat:10 34467 Sarıyer/İSTANBUL.

Upholding the responsibility of rigorous verification for investors, the professional field research team conducted an on-site visit to ING, based on the previously disclosed address information, in accordance with established plans, aiming to establish the broker's true business operations.

The field research team traveled to the Sariyer district of Istanbul, Turkey, and conducted an on-site verification of ING, which was stated to be located at Reşit Paşa Mahallesi Eski Büyükdere Caddesi No:8 Kat:10 34467 Sarıyer/İSTANBUL. Upon arrival, the field research team observed the bustling surrounding streets and a vibrant commercial atmosphere. They successfully captured panoramic photos of the building and clearly saw the ING logo on the exterior, making it highly recognizable.

Upon entering the building lobby, the surveyors located a prominent company signage with ING and the 10th-floor office area, which matched the publicly available address. After explaining their purpose to the lobby staff, the surveyors were granted access and ascended the elevator to the 10th floor, where they accurately confirmed the company's office location.

Once inside, they discovered that the office space was exclusively ING, not a shared office. The surveyors successfully photographed the reception desk with the company logo. On-site observation revealed a bustling office environment with a well-organized layout and comprehensive facilities. Visual inspection revealed a total of four rooms and approximately seven workstations. Based on the actual scene and conversations with staff, they confirmed that the entire building was owned by ING and was operating in a legitimate manner.

Thus, the survey confirmed that ING existed at the aforementioned address and had a legitimate office space.

Field Survey Summary

The surveyors visited ING as planned and observed the broker's company name displayed prominently at the publicly shown business address, indicating the physical presence of the broker's business. Investors are advised to take all factors into consideration before making a decision.
