WikiFX Field Survey: Setting the Standard for Verified Broker Information

In an industry where promotional claims often outpace reality, reliable information is everything. Traders face countless risks when choosing a broker, from misleading marketing claims to unverified addresses and even fraudulent operations. This is where WikiFXs Field Survey team steps in, offering a level of transparency and assurance that sets WikiFX apart from any other industry platform.

On‐the‐Ground Verification

Unlike most financial information platforms that rely solely on online data, WikiFX goes a step further. Our dedicated Field Survey team conducts on-site inspections of brokers offices across the globe. From London to Cyprus, from Hong Kong to New York, our surveyors physically visit broker locations, verifying their operational status, regulatory compliance, and office setup.

When traders see a brokers address on a website, how confident are they that the place really exists? The image above shows one such claimed address in person: surveyors arrived, took photos, checked for visible brand logos and signage.

This shot shows a building that might look legitimate from the outside, but closer inspection yields either confirmation or something not matching the claim.

This first-hand evidence, usually captured through photos, videos, and interviews, provides users with an unparalleled perspective. Its one thing to read that a broker is “regulated and operational,” but seeing their actual office, staff, and working environment gives traders confidence that no website screenshot or digital claim can match.

Using Visual Data to Uncover Risk

These visuals help users detect discrepancies: a street façade with no indication of the brokers name, a supposed office in shared-workspace buildings, or addresses where the business is no longer present. For example, the images attached below are from the FVP Trade investigation, where WikiFX found that despite a listed address, surveyors observed no evidence of the broker being active at that location.

Transparency in Presentation

From here, users can see how WikiFX integrates field-survey findings into its database: with photos, address maps, and user-accessible reports. Users are not just told “this is verified” or “risk found”, but they can see what was observed and judge for themselves.

Impact of Field Surveys: What Sets WikiFX Apart

With these images and the stories behind them, WikiFXs value proposition becomes vivid:

• Independent Verification: Not relying solely on user submissions or regulatory listings, but doing physical visits.

• Visual Evidence: From exteriors, entrances, signage, shared workspaces, surveyors generate photo proof that backs up (or refutes) claims.

• User Empowerment: Rather than trusting marketing, traders can look at the same images, compare them with websites, maps, or even Google Street View.

• Risk Mitigation: By identifying fake addresses, “shell” offices, or brokers that no longer occupy claimed premises, WikiFX helps users avoid being misled.

Conclusion: WikiFX doesn‘t just gather data; we verify it!

These images underscore that WikiFX doesn’t just gather data; we verify it. Whether confirming that a claimed office exists, spotting missing signage, or detecting brokers that can‘t be found at all, WikiFX’s Field Survey team delivers evidence. For traders choosing a broker, that difference in verification can be the difference between confidence and risk.

At WikiFX, our mission is to empower investors with the knowledge and tools required to make safe, informed decisions. When selecting an overseas broker, we strongly advise exercising due diligence and, wherever possible, choosing one regulated by a reputable authority such as Australia‘s ASIC, the United Kingdom’s FCA, or other recognised regulators.

Should you fall victim to fraudulent activity, it is essential that you act without delay. We recommend reporting the matter to the police or consulting a qualified solicitor, as well as contacting your local consumer affairs office.
