Who else uses this address
6 other brokers in this set publish an address on Ropemaker Street. When that many financial firms name one building, it is usually a registered-office or mail-forwarding service, and an address of that kind tells you where the post arrives rather than where anyone works.
Across the 6 other visits to that address, the team could not get access 6 times. Among them are Dave, Forex Boss and Forex Bullish.
This visit ended differently from most of the others, which is worth weighing against the pattern at the address.
The picture in EC2Y
19 of the addresses the team has visited sit in the EC2Y postcode district. Across the 18 other visits to EC2Y, the team confirmed an office once, found nothing 8 times and could not get access 9 times.
Others in the same district include CBCX, Dave and EZ Trades.
Reading the checks together
In short, the building was the one the address names, there was no sign for the company outside, it was not in the building directory and reception could not say either way. No single check settles an outcome on its own, which is why each one is listed above rather than folded into a verdict.
What this outcome means
Office not found. The researcher could not identify the broker or relevant entity at the stated address.
