Purpose

The UK forex market has a long history and is a highly mature international forex market. Since the development of the modern financial system, it has been one of the core hubs of global forex trading, characterized by large trading volumes, high liquidity, and a wide variety of trading instruments. To help investors or practitioners gain a more comprehensive understanding of forex brokers in this region, the on-site investigation team conducted a field visit to the UK.

Process

The field investigation team traveled to the UK as planned to conduct an on-site visit to forex broker GraniteMark. According to public information, its office address is THE SHARD 32 LONDON BRIDGE STREET LONDON ENGLAND SE1 9SG.

A professional and experienced site visit team, with a sense of mission to strictly vet for investors, went to the UK according to a meticulous plan. They conducted an on-site inspection of the broker GraniteMark who claimed to be located at THE SHARD 32 LONDON BRIDGE STREET LONDON ENGLAND SE1 9SG.

The site visit personnel arrived at THE SHARD. The location is near London Bridge, with a bustling surrounding environment and a strong commercial atmosphere. The building looks magnificent, but no company logo or related information of GraniteMark was found outside the building.

The site visit personnel entered the lobby of the building and stated their purpose to the security guard. After communicating, they were not granted access.

However, no signboard of GraniteMark was seen in the lobby. After inquiring with the security guard, they were told that this company was not in the building. The site visit personnel tried to go upstairs to check, but since they could not determine the specific floor and did not find any obvious signage of the company, they ultimately could not reach a specific floor to confirm its exact location, nor could they enter the company. Naturally, they were unable to take photos of the front desk and its LOGO. The office is not a shared office.

Through the glass door, since they could not enter the company, they could not observe the internal environment, decoration style, and employee activities. Overall, the broker does not meet its claimed positioning of operating at that address.

Therefore, after the site visit, it is confirmed that the broker GraniteMark does not exist at the above address.

Conclusion

The inspection team went to the UK as planned to visit forex broker GraniteMark in person. At its publicly displayed business address, the company name or other information of the broker was not seen, indicating that the broker does not have a real place of business. Investors should make their decisions after comprehensive consideration.
