Purpose

The UK foreign exchange market is a long-established and highly developed international forex market. Since modern times, leveraging its unique geographical location, well-developed financial system, and extensive financial expertise, it has become one of the key global hubs for foreign exchange trading. To assist investors or practitioners in gaining a more comprehensive understanding of forex brokers in this region, the on-site inspection team conducted field visits in the UK.

Process

The on-site inspection team went to the United Kingdom as planned to conduct a visit to the forex broker HARBOUR INVESTMENTS INC. According to public information, its office address is 122 Leadenhall St, City of London, London EC3V 4AB, United Kingdom.

A professional and experienced on-site 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 United Kingdom. They conducted a physical inspection of the broker HARBOUR INVESTMENTS INC, which claims to be located at 122 Leadenhall St, City of London, London EC3V 4AB, United Kingdom.

The inspectors arrived at the target building  successfully, which is located in the core area of the City in London, surrounded by a bustling environment and a strong commercial atmosphere. However, no company signage or relevant information about this broker was found on the exterior of the building.

The inspectors attempted to enter the building lobby and explained their purpose to the security personnel. However, after communication, they were not granted entry permission. Upon inquiry, the security guard stated that there was no such company.

As no information about the company was found, the inspectors could not reach the target floor and were unable to enter the interior. The inspectors did not see any clear signage about HARBOUR INVESTMENTS INC office area, nor were they able to photograph the company's reception or LOGO. Furthermore, this office area was not a shared workspace.

Since entry was simply impossible, through the glass doors, the inspectors could not observe the internal environment of the company. No information regarding this broker was found, and the overall situation did not match its claimed positioning.

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

At its public business address, no information, such as the broker's company name, was visible, indicating that the broker does not have a genuine business premises.
