Purpose

The UK foreign exchange market is a globally important foreign exchange market formed during the long-term financial development process. It has characteristics such as large trading scale, rich variety of trading products, and numerous market participants, occupying a pivotal position in international foreign exchange trading. In order to help investors or practitioners gain a more comprehensive understanding of forex brokers in this region, the team went to the UK for an on-site visit.

Process

This time, the team visited the forex broker Benton Markets in the UK as planned. According to public information, its office address is 40 Bank St, London E14 5NR - 19th Floor.

A professional and experienced team, with a sense of mission to strictly vet for investors, followed a well-planned itinerary and traveled to the UK. They conducted an on-site verification of the broker Benton Markets claiming to be located at 40 Bank St, London E14 5NR - 19th Floor.

The team arrived at the target building smoothly. The location is in the London financial district, with a bustling surrounding environment and a strong commercial atmosphere. However, no company sign or relevant information for Benton Markets was found outside the building.

The team entered the building lobby and informed the security guard of their purpose. After communication, they obtained permission to enter.

After arriving at the target floor (19th floor), the team found no clear signage for Benton Markets's office area. Since no information about the company was found from the beginning, they could not enter the interior. They were unable to take photos of the front desk and its logo, and the office area was not a shared office.

Due to being unable to enter, they could not observe the company's internal environment. After arriving, they confirmed the address, but found no information about the broker. When asked, the security guard said the company did not exist, leading to the conclusion that it is fraudulent.

Therefore, after the on-site verification, it is confirmed that the broker Benton Markets does not exist at the above address.

Conclusion

The team visited the forex broker Benton Markets in the UK as planned, but did not see the company's name or other information at its publicly displayed business address, indicating that the broker does not have a real place of business. Investors should make their decisions after comprehensive consideration.
