Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why Athenaplace Finance Ltd is on the register
Athenaplace Finance Ltd claims to be a British forex broker. As per United Kingdom law, all firms and individuals offering, promoting, or selling financial services or products in the UK have to be authorized or registered by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). However, we did not find any match results to Athenaplace Finance Ltd in FCA. That means Athenaplace Finance Ltd is not an approved broker to offer financial services in the UK. Besides, Athenaplace Finance Ltd claims another registered company address in Hong Kong. As forex traders, you should know all regulated forex brokers in Hong Kong are monitored by the Hong Kong Securities And Futures Commission (HK SFC). But we did not find any match results to Athenaplace Finance Ltd in SFC’s registry. That means Athenaplace Finance Ltd is not overseen by any regulators. Investors’ funds in this broker are unsafe and cannot be protected by any law. Therefore, it is a scam.
If you have money with this broker
- Stop sending funds. Do not pay any further “fees”, “taxes” or “verification” charges to release a withdrawal — this is a common secondary scam.
- Preserve evidence. Save transaction IDs, wallet addresses, chat logs, and every screenshot before the account is closed.
- Report it. Notify your bank/exchange and your national financial regulator so the activity is on record.
- Get guidance. Tell us what happened and we will point you toward the right next step. We are a free public registry — we never charge any fees.
