Finding

A Representative Office authorisation held by IFX (UK) Ltd, which is also registered as a DIFC Recognised Company under number 1363. A representative office may only market the services of its parent inside the DIFC. It cannot hold client money or conclude transactions. Client protection: Very limited. This is a marketing permission, so it gives a client no protection over funds at all. The money itself sits under the UK authorisation.
