20 out of 100 · 60% checked

Our investigation confirmed it is a scam, and it copies another firm's identity or sits on a regulator's warning list.

Capped at 20 · Confirmed scam

We checked Archax LTD on 2026-10-19 across its regulation, company record, client terms, trading offer and service, and could verify 60% of its record. Its strongest valid licence is FCA 838656 (belongs to the genuine Archax Ltd, not this operation). The score was held at 20 because our investigation confirmed it is a scam, and 1 more limit also applied. What would move the score: licence held by the onboarding entity, verified age, policy risk. Our published investigation found it is a confirmed scam. Its client terms have not been reviewed yet.

Broker Summary

What Wikilix has recorded about Archax LTD: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.

Overview

Archax LTD is presented publicly as a forex and CFD brand operating from the United Kingdom through the website archax-finance.com. WIKILIX could not open that website during this review: the domain does not resolve at all, from either a direct request or a full browser. Because the site is the only place a broker states its own trading terms, none of the commercial detail a client would need before depositing could be confirmed, and everything below is limited to what can still be established from official records.

Regulation and licence

No forex or CFD trading licence could be established for this operation. WIKILIX found no licence number, no issuing authority and no regulatory disclosure that can be attributed to the operator of archax-finance.com. On that basis the operation is treated as unlicensed for the purposes of client fund protection, and no regulator supervises the handling of deposits, execution or complaints.

Identity and the company behind the brand

The brand reuses the name of ARCHAX LTD, a genuine private limited company on the UK register under company number 11302455, incorporated on 10 April 2018 and registered at 71-75 Shelton Street, London, England, WC2H 9JQ. That company record is real and can be inspected at Companies House. What could not be established is any link between that registered company and the archax-finance.com website, which is not the domain that company is publicly associated with. A registered company name being used on a domain outside the group it belongs to is the classic pattern of brand impersonation, and it is the single most important thing a prospective client should understand here.

Safety of client funds

With no licence, no reachable website and no verified relationship between the trading brand and the registered company, there is no segregation claim, no compensation scheme and no complaints route that WIKILIX can confirm. Money sent to this operation would have no supervisory backstop.

Accounts, fees, leverage and platforms

The operation publishes no accessible account tiers, minimum deposits, spreads, commissions, leverage limits or trading platforms. WIKILIX does not estimate these values, so they are recorded as unknown rather than filled in.

Funding and withdrawals

No deposit or withdrawal channels, fees, limits or processing times could be confirmed. There is no reachable page describing how money would enter or leave an account.

Pros and cons

  • In its favour: the company name and number quoted in connection with the brand do correspond to a real, currently active UK company record.
  • Against it: no trading licence of any kind was established.
  • Against it: the advertised website does not resolve, so nothing the operation claims can be read or held to.
  • Against it: the brand and legal name belong to an established London financial group that this domain is not part of.

Assessment

WIKILIX rates Archax LTD at archax-finance.com as a high risk, likely impersonation operation. The combination of a borrowed corporate identity, no verifiable licence and a website that has gone dark leaves a prospective client with no way to identify who would hold their money or to recover it. Anyone who has already deposited should treat the funds as at risk and preserve all records.

What our check found

The FCA authorisation with reference 838656 belongs to the genuine Archax Ltd (archax.com), a different company. BaFin describes this website's use of the Archax identity as identity theft. This operation holds no licence of its own. Client protection: None for users of this website. The authorisation protects clients of the genuine Archax Ltd, not anyone dealing with the clone.

Client protection under this licence

  • Compensation schemeUp to £85000 (FSCS)
  • Client money kept separate
  • Negative balance protection
  • Complaints routeFinancial Ombudsman Service
  • Maximum leverage1:30

These are the rules FCA sets for the firms it licenses. They are not a statement about how Archax LTD applies them, or about which of its companies would hold your account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Archax LTD

Most Popular Questions

Stop sending further funds immediately. Preserve every record you hold: transfer receipts, card or bank references, account statements, emails and chat logs. Raise a chargeback or recall with your card issuer or bank as quickly as possible, since those routes are time limited, and report the matter to the financial crime or fraud authority in your own country. Ignore anyone who contacts you offering to recover the money for an upfront fee.

Unknown. The operation publishes no reachable terms, onboarding form or restricted country list, so WIKILIX records no accepted or refused jurisdictions rather than inferring any.

No protection could be confirmed. Without a licence there is no supervised segregation requirement, no compensation scheme and no regulated complaints route covering money sent to this operation.

WIKILIX rates it as high risk and likely an impersonation operation rather than a genuine broker. The combination of a borrowed corporate identity, no verifiable trading licence and a website that has gone offline is the profile of an operation a retail client should avoid entirely.

No deposit or withdrawal channels, fees, limits or processing times could be confirmed, because no funding page is reachable. With no licence and no working site, anyone holding a balance should assume recovery is difficult.

None could be confirmed. No MetaTrader, cTrader or proprietary platform, and no server name or download link, could be attributed to this operation.

Unknown. No leverage limit is published anywhere WIKILIX could reach, and none is assumed.

Unknown. The operation publishes no reachable account or funding page, so no minimum deposit figure can be quoted. WIKILIX does not estimate figures a broker has not disclosed.

No. During this review archax-finance.com did not resolve in DNS. Neither a direct request nor a full browser could reach any page on it, over https or http.

No connection could be established. The registered UK company of that name is a separate, long standing London financial services business that is publicly associated with a different domain. Reusing a registered company name on an unrelated domain is a brand impersonation pattern, and clients should not assume the two are the same operation.

That is precisely what could not be established. The brand borrows the name of ARCHAX LTD, a real UK company registered at Companies House under number 11302455, but no link between that company and the archax-finance.com website could be confirmed. The party actually behind the trading brand is undisclosed.

No. WIKILIX established no forex or CFD trading licence for the operator of archax-finance.com, and no issuing authority or licence number could be attributed to it. Treat it as an unlicensed operation.
