FOREX.com

FOREX.com, legally registered as GAIN Capital UK, Limited, is a broker that claims to operate in the United Kingdom, with a founding date of 2023-02-01. The official domain listed in our records is gdxingfalvye.cn, which is atypical for a UK-regulated entity and warrants caution.

Our records indicate that the firm holds two licences on file: one from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom and one from the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA). However, the status of these licences is not confirmed, and the company reports zero employees, which is unusual for an active broker.

The broker is listed with two regulators: the FCA (licence no 446717) and CIMA (licence no 25033). These are the only licence numbers in our records, and we have not verified their current validity against public registers.

It is important to note that the FCA licence number provided corresponds to a Market Making (MM) permission, while the CIMA licence is for a Derivatives Trading License (EP). However, given the low web confidence and the absence of independent verification, traders should treat these details with caution.

Based on the limited information available, the broker's product offering cannot be clearly established. The official domain does not provide accessible details about trading platforms, account types, or instruments.

Given the lack of verifiable information, we cannot confirm whether this entity offers retail forex/CFD trading, banking services, or any other financial product. This absence of transparency is a significant concern for potential clients.

Our records flag this broker with a high scam risk score of 85/100, indicating severe risk. It is listed as a 'Fake Broker' in industry watchdog records and identified as a clone or impersonator firm.

Additionally, there is no verifiable website or social-media presence, which further complicates any attempt to assess the legitimacy of this entity. Traders are strongly advised to exercise extreme caution and avoid engaging with this broker until its status is clarified.

In summary, FOREX.com (GAIN Capital UK, Limited) presents a high-risk profile with significant red flags. The lack of independent information, combined with the official domain and regulatory inconsistencies, suggests that this entity may not be a legitimate broker.

We recommend that traders refrain from using this broker and instead seek regulated alternatives with transparent operations and verifiable track records.
