FX273 Review

About FX273

FX273 is not authorised to provide financial services in the United Kingdom and is included on the Financial Conduct Authority’s Warning List as an unauthorised firm. The FCA states that FX273 (https://fx273.com) “may be providing or promoting financial services or products without our permission” and advises clients to avoid dealing with the firm. Replacement of any entitlement to the Financial Ombudsman Service or FSCS protection applies. The warning was first published on 12 March 2025 and updated on 17 June 2025.

No evidence exists that FX273 holds any valid licence from recognised financial regulators. There are no published details of regulatory status, registration, licences, capital adequacy or regulatory oversight. The firm’s claimed office address in Dublin appears unverifiable, and there is no authority confirming registration with the Central Bank of Ireland; sources note a false claim of regulation under the name "KBI Global Investors" that is unsubstantiated.
