The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has warned that two platforms, Real Trade Finance and Rhone Capital LIMITED, may be offering financial services or products in the UK without authorization from the FCA and that investors should be cautious about dealing with them. Details are as follows:
Unauthorized company - Real Trade Finance
Address: Arran Cottage, 6 The Row, Aust, Bristol, ENGLAND, BS35 4AY
Telephone: +01173183816
Email: info@realtradefinance.co.uk
Website: https://www.realtradefinance.co.uk/
Unauthorized company - FOREX EXPERTFXSTRADE
Address: 1 Fore Street, London, UNITED KINGDOM, EC2Y 9DT
Email: info@rhonecapitalltd.com

The FCA reminded investors to be cautious about the financial activities of blacklisted companies and advised investors to only deal with financial firms that have been authorised by the FCA. If you want to know if a company is authorised by the FCA, you can check the Financial Services Register. The register contains a "white list" of regulated companies and individuals.
If you deal with an unauthorised company, you will not be able to access the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), in which case investors will be unlikely to get their money back if something goes wrong.
