Archax LTD

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.
