Abstract:The information on the FCA's official website shows that USGFX UK (Union Standard International Group Limited) no longer has regulatory authorization from the FCA as of December 16, 2022.

And before that, the company canceled its ASIC and VFSC licenses, and so far it has NO financial license!

USGFX was founded in 2006 and declared bankruptcy on July 8, 2020, in Australia, after which, USGFX's AFS license in Australia was officially suspended less than a month later. On September 14 of the same year, USGFX's AFS license was officially canceled.
USGFX had informed clients that they could transfer their accounts originally under ASIC supervision to the UK FCA or Vanuatu VFSC supervision according to notices within their accounts, but many clients fed back that USGFX had not processed their withdrawal requests in recent years. Later, the company canceled its VFSC license. Until last month, USGFX UK's FCA license also lapsed. By this point, the broker was not authorized by any regulator and also received a warning from the FCA on Dec. 29.
