  • Clone firms hijack genuine licence numbers from authorised institutions in FIX Trading Community Standards, SEC Regulation SCI, MiFID II RTS 6 Algorithmic Controls, and FCA Operational Resilience while operating on lookalike or unapproved web domains.
  • Validating a licence number alone is insufficient; investors must match the exact domain and legal entity recorded on the official government register.
  • Terminal Ledger Desk cross-links 53 supervisory authorities and 227 institutional profiles directly to primary statutory lookup portals.
  • Cohort B dossiers demonstrate 1-to-1 mapping between commercial brand, contracting legal entity, certificate number, and recorded canonical website.

Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQ) — Compliance Forensics

What is a clone firm in Trading Platforms, OMS/EMS Execution Engines & Server Infrastructure and how does it deceive investors?

A clone firm is an unauthorised entity that copies the real name, registration number, and licence credentials of an authorised financial institution onto a separate, unapproved domain to solicit deposits fraudulently.

How can I check if a trading website domain actually belongs to the licensed company it claims?

Look up the firm's certificate number independently via Terminal Ledger Desk's regulator directory or GET /api/v1/verify/domain?host=example.com and confirm the exact domain matches the website recorded on the government register.

Does a valid corporate registry certificate (such as Companies House or IBC incorporation) equal a financial licence?

No. General company incorporation only proves a legal person exists; conducting brokerage, custody, investment management, or money services requires explicit authorisation or registration from the financial Markets regulator.

What verdict does Terminal Ledger Desk's verification API return when a domain matches a regulator warning?

The /api/v1/verify/domain endpoint returns HIGH_RISK_REGULATOR_WARNING_OR_CLONE_FLAG along with the issuing regulator, warning publication date, and forensic dossier URL.

Where can I verify regulator clone warnings and official licensing registers on Terminal Ledger Desk?

All 53 supervisory register links and 227 institutional licence records for Terminal Ledger Desk are indexed at /standards and exportable in CSV/JSON format at /datasets.
