RMS TRADE: no way in at 530 Collins Street
RMS TRADE publishes 530 Collins Street in Melbourne. The team could not get past the door, and nothing outside carried the company's name.
What the team found
RMS TRADE publishes Level 5, 530 Collins Street, Melbourne, Australia as its office. The address is in Melbourne. There was no signage for the company on the building, and the team could not get past the entrance to check a directory or speak to reception.
Because the team could not get inside, the visit is recorded as restricted rather than as proof that the company is absent. Nothing visible from the street connects RMS TRADE to the address.
The checks
The checks that decided this outcome, from the visit checklist.
| Check | Result |

| Building match | Building matched |
| External signage | No relevant signage observed |
| Reception check | Reception unavailable |
| Floor or suite | Restricted |
Who else uses this address
29 other brokers in this set publish an address on Collins 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 29 other visits to that address, the team confirmed an office once, found nothing 7 times and could not get access 21 times. Among them are RocoForex, S.A.M. TRADE and ThinkMarkets.
This visit ended the same way as most of the others, which is what makes the address worth noting rather than this broker in particular.
What the published address commits to
RMS TRADE publishes a floor and a room rather than only a building, which is the more checkable kind of address: it can be walked to and either holds the company or does not.
What Melbourne looks like across the set
Melbourne accounts for 48 of the addresses the team has visited. Across the 47 other visits to the city, the team confirmed an office 3 times, found nothing 7 times and could not get access 37 times.
The reports either side of this one in Melbourne are RocoForex, S.A.M. TRADE and Star Stone, and reading two or three together is usually more telling than any single visit.
Reading the checks together
In short, the building was the one the address names, there was no sign for the company outside 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
Access restricted. Building or security restrictions prevented the researcher from completing the planned checks.
A field survey confirms only what was observed at the stated address and time. It does not verify regulatory status, client-money handling, trading conditions or financial strength. The photographs are the team's own, taken at the location on the day, and may be cropped for privacy. Read how surveys are conducted.
