About squiresfinanceltd.com

Squires Finance Ltd., operating via domains such as squiresfinanceltd.com and squiresfinancesltd.com, is designated as a clone firm by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Fraudsters are using the identity of an FCA‑authorised firm named SQUIRE’S FINANCE LIMITED (FRN 716747) to deceive potential clients. The clone uses addresses including “20 Farringdon St, London, EC4A 4BL” and “Harwood House, 43 Harwood Road, London, SW6 4QP,” and telephone and email contact details that are not authorised. The genuine firm SQUIRE’S FINANCE LIMITED (FRN 716747) is wholly unrelated. Engagement with the clone firm carries no protections under the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. If funds have been sent after 7 October 2024, protections introduced by the Payment Systems Regulator may apply. 

The Central Bank of Ireland has issued warnings regarding Squire’s Finance Limited operating through domains such as webtrader.squiresfinancesltd.trade, mobtrader.squiresfinance.trade, and others, identifying it as a clone firm unauthorised under Irish regulations. A similar caution is present in the Spanish regulator CNMV’s notifications, which list those same domains as clone operations.
