Purpose

The UAE foreign exchange market is an emerging internationalized forex market that has developed rapidly over the past two decades. Leveraging Dubai's geographical advantage as the financial hub of the Middle East, it has attracted a large number of dealers and financial service institutions from around the world, covering cross-border trading needs across the entire Middle East and North Africa region. In order to help investors and practitioners gain a more comprehensive understanding of forex dealers in the region, the site inspection team went to the UAE for an on-site visit.

Process

This time, the on-site inspection team went to the UAE as planned to visit forex broker GCB Bullion. According to public information, its office address is Office 102, Mohd. Ahmad Bluilding, Gold Souk, Deira, Dubai, U.A.E.

The professional and experienced on-site inspection team, driven by a sense of mission to strictly safeguard investors, traveled to the United Arab Emirates in accordance with meticulous planning. They conducted an on-site verification of the broker GCB Bullion, which claims to be located at Office 102, Mohd. Ahmad Bluilding, Gold Souk, Deira, Dubai, U.A.E.

The team searched repeatedly within the marked corresponding area but never found the building known as Mohd. Ahmad Building mentioned in the address. The street layout of the area was completely inconsistent with the information indicated by the public address. There was no building with a corresponding name, no relevant signage pointing to the target building, and no relevant promotional or directional information about the broker in the surrounding area.

Since the target building could not even be located, the team had no way to enter the so-called building lobby, and there was no possibility of communicating with or registering with the security guards or staff. The team was completely unable to obtain permission to enter the relevant building.

Because the building structure of the corresponding floor did not even exist, the team was completely unable to reach the specific floor where the marked Office 102 was located, let alone find the office area of GCB Bullion. Throughout the entire process, no obvious signage or security measures of the company were found, and there was no possibility of entering the interior. The premises were not a shared office either, and throughout the entire process there was no opportunity to photograph the company's front desk or the front desk LOGO.

Since the corresponding target building could not be found at all, the team was completely unable to observe the so-called internal environment of the company, nor was it able to confirm whether the address matched its claimed business positioning.

Therefore, after the on-site inspection, it was confirmed that the broker GCB Bullion does not exist at the above address.

Conclusion

The field surveyors visited the forex broker GCB Bullion in the UAE as planned. At the broker's publicly displayed business address, no company name or other identifying information could be found, indicating that the broker does not have a real business location. Investors are advised to make their decisions after comprehensive consideration.
