Inspection Reason

Many investors made telephone calls to the inspection team recently asking for more exposure of New Zealand licensed brokers whose real addresses were fake. In response to investors’ desire, the surveyor decided to go to bogus IronFX’s office in New Zealand to hava an intutitive view..

Office Building

According to the regulation information, the New Zealand licensed broker was located at Suite 2737, Level 27 188 Quay Street Auckland. The surveyor decided to visit the broker.

The surveyor found the PWC Building indicated by the regulation information without much trouble since the logo on the building’s facade was easy to see. Then the surveyor entered the office building and knew from the floor guide on the 1st floor in the lobby that the entire 27th floor belonged to a software company.
