Purpose

The Turkish foreign exchange market is an emerging market that has developed in recent years. With the growth of Turkey's economy and the gradual opening of its financial markets, forex trading has become increasingly active in the region. To help investors or practitioners gain a more comprehensive understanding of forex brokers in this area, an on-site inspection team visited Turkey for field research.

Process

The on-site inspection team visited the forex broker Atanur in Turkey as scheduled. According to public information, its office address is Mollafenari Mah. Nuruosmaniye Cad. No:47 Kat:1 Çemberlitaş / Istanbul - 34120.

A professional and experienced on-site inspection team, driven by a sense of mission to rigorously safeguard investors' interests, traveled to Turkey according to a well-planned schedule. Based on the aforementioned information, they conducted an on-site visit to the dealer Atanur.

The field investigator proceeded to the target area based on the address information to conduct an on-site verification of the dealer claiming to be located at Mollafenari Mah. Nuruosmaniye Cad. No:47 Kat:1 Çemberlitaş / Istanbul - 34120Atanur.

The field investigator successfully arrived at the target building, which is located in the Çemberlitaş area. However, there is no so-called company campus in the vicinity, nor does the street environment exhibit any atmosphere related to the company. A panoramic view of the building can be captured, and the overall exterior of the building appears quite ordinary. No signage or relevant information related to Atanur company was found on the exterior of the building.

The survey personnel entered the building lobby and, after stating their purpose to the security guard, obtained permission to enter.

Upon arriving at the target floor (1st floor), the field investigator found that the office area of Atanur company had no clear signage or security measures. The investigator attempted to enter but failed to gain access to the interior, nor could they photograph the reception area or its logo. Additionally, the office was not a shared workspace. Upon arrival, the investigator did not see the company and inquired with security, who confirmed that no such company existed, leading to the conclusion that the address was fake. The interior of the office could not be observed through the glass door as entry was completely restricted. Overall, the situation did not match the company's claimed positioning.

Therefore, after on-site verification, it has been confirmed that the dealer Atanur does not exist at the aforementioned address.

Conclusion

The on-site investigator visited the foreign exchange broker Atanur in Turkey as planned. At the publicly displayed business address, no information such as the company name of the broker could be found, indicating that the broker does not have a genuine business premises. Investors are advised to make their choices after comprehensive consideration.
