Purpose

The UK foreign exchange market is one of the globally significant forex markets formed through long-term development, characterized by its long history, active trading, and numerous participants. It occupies a crucial position in global foreign exchange trading, with many international financial institutions and investors conducting forex transactions here. To help investors or practitioners gain a more comprehensive understanding of forex brokers in this region, the on-site inspection team went to the UK for field visits.

Process

The on-site inspection team went to the UK as planned to conduct a field visit to the forex broker VITOL. According to public information, its office address is Euston Tower, 286 Euston Road, London NW1 3DP, United Kingdom.

A professional and experienced inspection team, driven by a sense of mission to rigorously vet for investors, proceeded according to a well-planned schedule to the target area in the UK. They conducted an on-site verification of the broker VITOL, which claims to be located at this address.

The inspectors arrived at Euston Tower, which is located on Euston Road in London. The surrounding area is relatively bustling with a strong commercial atmosphere. However, no company signage or relevant information for VITOL was found on the exterior of the building.

The inspectors attempted to enter the building lobby and explained their purpose to the security guard. However, the guard informed them that there was no such company, and permission to enter was not granted.

Consequently, it was impossible to reach the target floor to confirm the status of VITOL's office area. No prominent signage of the company was found. Entry to the interior was not possible and photographs of its reception area could not be taken. The office premises were not a shared workspace.

Through the building's glass doors, due to distance and obstructions, the company's internal environment could not be observed. No information regarding this broker was discovered, leading to the judgment that it is false.

Therefore, after the on-site inspection, it was confirmed that broker VITOL does not exist at the aforementioned address.

Conclusion

On-site inspectors visited the forex broker VITOL as planned in the United Kingdom. At its publicly displayed business address, they were unable to see any information such as the company name of the broker, indicating that the broker does not have a genuine business premises. Investors are advised to make their choice after comprehensive consideration.
