BANK QUERIES
It has been brought to our attention by a few clients that some UK banks have queried the validity of the bank account for afx Markets Ltd. This confusion stems from the existence of a separate UK-based company, coincidentally also named "AFX Markets Ltd," which was wound up in 2019 and is currently in administration.
THE OTHER “AFX MARKETS LTD”
On the Companies House entry for the UK business referred to you will see that the UK-based “AFX Market Ltd” company was formed in 2011, many years before afx.com : https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/07612002
You will also see that the directors listed are in no way connected to Lee Plaister (afx CEO) or any other officers of the current business: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/07612002/officers
We want to emphasize that the UK-based "AFX Markets Ltd" and afx.com are completely separate entities with no affiliation.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Our suggestion, when looking to fund from a UK bank, is to initially send a smaller (c.£5,000). Once this goes through, the recipient account is then approved by your bank as "trusted", so you should then be able to send subsequent larger transfers without any issues.
Please aways ensure you quote your correct reference number when sending all transfers. You will receive acknowledgement once your funds have been received and invested in the AFX Diversified Fund in your chosen currency and can track your returns on the dedicated AFX app and/or your AFX desktop portal.
Go to your AFX app or the desktop portal at my.afx.com.
