Furthermore, BUX Limited claims it is regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), license number 296805.
Verification of Regulatory Information
Upon verification, it was found that the regulatory information advertised by BUX Limited is inconsistent with the facts:
- The Vanuatu Financial Services Commission's website shows that the company with number 700455 is actually DLS MARKETS LIMITED, not BUX Limited.
- The Australian Securities and Investments Commission's website shows that the company with number 296805 is DLS MARKETS (AUST) PTY LTD.
- BUX Limited is not listed as a member on the Financial Commission's official website.
- Information about Y&C FINANCIAL INVESTMENT comes from another independent website ycsa7.com. Additionally, the US National Futures Association (NFA) website did not find a company with NFA ID 0559240.
Conclusion
BUX Limited claims to be an international multi-asset CFD broker, but the company's advertised and regulatory information does not match the actual situation. The broker does not have a corporate entity and is not regulated by financial regulatory bodies.
Risk Warning: Trading financial products like CFDs carries high risk. Investors should carefully select a trading platform based on their risk tolerance and investment objectives to avoid unnecessary losses.
