Areatrading claims to be an reliable broker without presenting any information about its regulation. The lack of such important information may be a distinct signal of an unlicensed broker, as regulated brokers always present their accreditations and licenses in a prominent position. It is a red flag.
Areatrading presents a telephone number that belongs to the UK on its website. So we searched the UK forex regulator the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (UK FCA) but only found a warning against this broker. UK FCA warned the public that Areatrading was providing financial services or products in the UK without authorisation.
Moreover, the Financial Supervisory Authority of Finland (FIN-FSA or FI) issued a warning that Areatrading is neither authorised by FI to conduct securities business or other financial services in Sweden nor under FI's supervision.
The truth is that Areatrading is not regulated by any regulators. Letting this broker hold or control investors' money is unsafe, and the money can not be protected by any laws. Therefore, it is a scam.
