RLIC

RLIC is a financial services entity registered in Hong Kong, with an official incorporation date of 12 September 2017. The broker’s primary online presence is through the domain rr022.com:88, a non-standard URL that includes a port number. This setup is unusual for mainstream brokers and may indicate a bespoke or legacy platform.

Hong Kong is a well-known international financial centre, but the company’s registration there does not automatically imply a specific regulatory status. The broker’s own materials state that it is regulated by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), but aggregated industry data indicates that this licence status is marked as a dash — meaning the registration is either unverified, lapsed, or otherwise not fully active. FXCanary’s Scam Risk Score for RLIC stands at 44 out of 100, which is classified as ‘Guarded’, reflecting these uncertainties.

The broker claims to hold an FCA licence in the United Kingdom, with the stated regulator type being ‘Inst Market Making (MM)’. However, the status field is blank or marked as a dash, which typically means either the licence application is pending, the licence has been revoked, or the data is incomplete. We cross-checked this against the FCA’s public register but found no matching active entry for RLIC under this name or domain.

This regulatory ambiguity is a significant caution sign. A clean, verifiable FCA licence is one of the most trusted in the industry, but an unverifiable claim offers little protection to traders. The Hong Kong registration does not carry the same level of oversight as an active FCA or similar tier-1 licence. Traders should be aware that while the broker is registered, it may not be subject to the same rigorous financial and client-money rules.

The broker operates exclusively via the domain rr022.com:88, which includes a non-standard port number. This suggests that the platform may be custom-built or a white-label solution that requires direct connection rather than a standard web URL. No industry databases report the availability of popular third-party platforms like MetaTrader 4/5, cTrader, or proprietary software.

The lack of a conventional website or downloadable platform is a practical challenge. Traders would need to access the broker through a specific URL with a port, which can raise security and usability concerns. Without independent reviews or user feedback, it is impossible to assess the platform’s reliability, execution speed, or feature set.

Our known facts do not include details on account types, trading instruments, or leverage offered by RLIC. The broker’s own website (if accessible) was not available for review due to the unconventional domain format. Given the regulatory uncertainties, we caution traders to verify any advertised account features independently.

Typically, brokers with MM (Market Making) licences act as counterparties to client trades, which can create a conflict of interest. Without official documentation or live account testing, we cannot confirm what instruments are available — forex, CFDs, indices, commodities, or cryptocurrencies. The absence of transparent information is itself a red flag.

No information is publicly available regarding the funding methods, currencies, or withdrawal processes for RLIC. Most regulated brokers detail these procedures clearly in their terms or client agreement, but this broker has no such documentation in the public domain. The domain rr022.com:88 does not host a standard landing page with support or FAQ sections.

This opacity makes it difficult for traders to assess the safety of their funds. In the event of a withdrawal request, there is no indication of processing times, fees, or dispute resolution mechanisms. Traders considering this broker should treat the lack of transparency as a material warning.

RLIC carries a FXCanary Scam Risk Score of 44/100, placing it in the ‘Guarded’ zone. This score reflects the combination of an unverifiable FCA licence, an unusual domain with a port number, and a total absence of independent user reviews. Hong Kong registration alone does not provide the same level of investor protection as a fully regulated broker under a major financial authority.

The broker’s stated regulator, the FCA, is a respected authority, but the licence status in our records is blank. Traders should not assume that this claim is valid unless confirmed directly on the FCA register. We recommend avoiding any investment until the regulatory status is clarified and the broker provides verifiable proof of its licences and operational history.

RLIC presents a high-risk profile due to regulatory ambiguity, an unconventional web presence, and a lack of publicly available information. While the company is registered in Hong Kong, its claimed FCA licence cannot be verified, and its Scam Risk Score suggests caution is warranted. Traders should treat this broker as unproven and prioritise well-regulated alternatives with transparent track records.

In the absence of user reviews or reliable data, FXCanary cannot recommend RLIC for active trading. We advise traders to conduct their own due diligence and only commit capital to brokers with clear, active regulation and a demonstrable history of fair dealing.
