In my experience as a forex trader, evaluating whether a broker like United Trust Bank can be trusted involves a careful look at both regulatory status and the clarity of their business operations. United Trust Bank is authorized and regulated by the FCA in the United Kingdom with license No. 204463, which provides some reassurance, as FCA oversight generally means higher standards for client protection and operational transparency. However, my caution increases because the institution’s core business areas are primarily savings, deposits, and lending, not retail forex or CFD trading. What stood out to me is the mention of United Trust Bank being a "Market Maker," but there’s limited detail about accessible trading accounts, platforms, and typical forex brokerage services. Furthermore, WikiFX highlights a high potential risk and notes the absence of a visible physical office during an on-site check. There’s also an alarming reference to clone scams, with the FCA issuing warnings about fraudsters imitating United Trust Bank’s identity—a genuine risk in this industry. Given these factors, and based on my own approach to risk management, I would exercise significant caution. I prefer brokers with a transparent focus on trading, robust risk management practices, and verifiable presence. While regulation by FCA is a positive, the lack of retail trading infrastructure and the reported scam warnings lead me to proceed only after thorough and independent verification. For me, prioritizing security and full operational clarity is non-negotiable before trusting any broker with my funds.
