Purpose

The UAE foreign exchange market, which developed in the early 21st century on the back of policy dividends from the Dubai International Financial Centre, is a regional core forex trading market. Thanks to its relaxed financial regulatory environment and its geographical advantage connecting Europe, Asia, and Africa, it has in recent years become the preferred hub for global forex brokers looking to expand their Middle East operations. In order to help investors or practitioners gain a more comprehensive understanding of the actual operating conditions of forex dealers in the region, the on-site survey team visited the UAE for field investigation.

Process

This on-site inspection team made a planned trip to the UAE to visit forex broker FIS. According to public information, its office address is Unit 2906, Swiss Tower, Jumeirah Lake Towers Cluster Y, PO Box 391624 Dubai, UAE.

A professional and experienced site inspection team, with a sense of mission to strictly safeguard the interests of investors, traveled to the United Arab Emirates in accordance with meticulous planning. They conducted an on-site verification of the broker FIS, which claims to be located at Unit 2906, Swiss Tower, Jumeirah Lake Towers Cluster Y, PO Box 391624 Dubai, UAE.

The inspectors arrived at the Swiss Tower building, which is located at the core of Dubai's central business district, surrounded by a bustling environment and an extremely strong commercial atmosphere. No company signage or related information for FIS was found outside the building. The inspectors took full panoramic photos of the building. The building facade features a typical high-end commercial glass curtain wall design, with an exquisite and grand overall texture, making it a standard luxury office building in the area.

Upon entering the ground-floor lobby of the building, the inspectors explained their purpose to the security guard, completed visitor registration, and obtained entry permission smoothly. The ground floor of the office building did not have a complete company floor directory. The lobby is spacious and bright, with a rest area and business service desk, and the overall management is standardized and orderly.

After reaching the target floor, the 29th floor, the inspectors found that the floor had a complete company directory. The sign for FIS was clearly marked in the corresponding area. They also photographed the corresponding company office area, which is not a shared office. As the door to the office area was closed and no prior appointment had been made, they could not enter the company's interior, nor could they photograph the front desk and its LOGO.

Through the closed office door, the specific internal environment of the company could not be observed. Staff informed them that unauthorized personnel were not allowed to enter. The overall situation is consistent with its claimed positioning as a legitimate financial enterprise.

Therefore, after the site inspection, it was confirmed that the broker FIS exists at the above address.

Conclusion

The field inspectors visited forex broker FIS in the UAE as scheduled. The company name and other details of the broker could be seen on the floor directory at its publicly displayed business address, indicating that the broker has a genuine place of business. Investors should make their decision after comprehensive consideration.
