Why it is flagged
On 28 October 2026 the UK Financial Conduct Authority added Trade Flow to its Warning List. The FCA states the firm is not authorised and may be offering or promoting financial services in the UK without permission. It is not licensed to take your money, and if something goes wrong there is no FCA protection, no Financial Ombudsman and no FSCS cover behind your deposit.
Red flags to notice
- No FCA authorisation, confirmed on the regulator’s own Warning List.
- A recently registered website (July 2026 (about 4 months old)), set up not long before the warning.
- Trading or investment branding without a verifiable licence or a real company you can check.
How to check before you deposit anywhere
Take 60 seconds and do this yourself for any platform:
- Search the firm on the FCA Warning List at fca.org.uk. If it appears there, walk away.
- Search the FCA Register at register.fca.org.uk. If it is not listed with the right permissions, it is not authorised.
- Never verify a firm through a link or phone number it gave you. Type the regulator address in yourself.

If you have already paid money
- Stop depositing. Do not pay any fee, tax or margin to release a withdrawal. That demand is itself a scam signal.
- Save everything: statements, chats, emails, receipts and any wallet addresses.
- Tell your bank or card provider now and ask about a chargeback or fraud claim.
- File a formal report with the authorities below. None of them charge you.
