Can a broker headquartered in the United Kingdom operate legally and officially without regulation from the Financial Conduct Authority? We have serious doubts about that. However, Fimatron seems to think otherwise. We question the reliability of this platform, as it strongly resembles a scam. In this review, we will take a closer look.
The official Fimatron website is designed to attract the attention of inexperienced traders rather than function as a standard brokerage resource. The homepage opens with a large banner featuring a slogan about confident trading and an image of a user with a mobile application displayed on the screen. The header contains a standard set of elements: a menu with sections such as About Us, Why Us, Accounts, Trading, Blog, a language switcher, and Sign Up / Log In buttons. The color palette is bright — a black background combined with purple and gold elements, large headlines, and visuals featuring portfolios and charts that create the impression of a modern fintech platform.
The content is structured into sections focused on supposed advantages: interface simplicity, security, and accessibility under any conditions. There are blocks describing the philosophy and mission, along with text stating that the platform is suitable for all levels and that users can trade without limitations. Visually, there are many illustrations showing account interfaces, crypto assets, and portfolios. At the same time, there is no concrete information about the business model, regulators, or operating history — only generic phrases about “intuitiveness”, “transparency”, and “confident growth”.
On the Fimatron website, the Contact Us section lists only basic contact methods: an office address in the United Kingdom, two UK phone numbers (one for trading and one for support), and an email address. There is no contact form, no messenger support, and no online chat.
The most interesting part is the email address. As it turned out, it does not exist — it is fake. This is the first major red flag and a clear sign of a scam.
The entire account system at Fimatron is built on a simple but very typical principle often used by questionable brokerage platforms and pseudo-brokers: the larger the deposit, the better the “benefits”. The lineup includes accounts ranging from Bronze (€10,000) to VIP (€1,000,000), and the descriptions for each focus not on actual trading functionality (such as spreads, commissions, leverage, or execution type), but on a list of services and bonuses — market reviews, access to webinars, a personal assistant, social trading, risk-free trades, and so on.
In the industry, reputable companies use this approach only for additional services, while verified brokers present trading conditions in clear numerical tables: spreads, commissions, margin requirements, execution models, and account types with different trading mechanics, not a list of “privileges”. The opposite model, where the main emphasis is placed on deposit size and accompanying services, is typical of fraudulent firms that extract money under the pretext of granting access to “better conditions” with an extremely high entry threshold.
There is no concrete data on commissions or spreads on the website at all. The text mentions a “modest fee” and states that the first withdrawal is “free”, while subsequent withdrawals incur a “small fee”, but not a single number or specific example is provided. Likewise, spreads, leverage, and transaction costs are not mentioned at all, leaving an ordinary trader without any understanding of the real cost of trading. Fimatron conceals all key trading conditions.
The company claims that it has “submitted an application to the regulator” and is allegedly operating legally while the review process is ongoing. However, the website does not name any regulator, provides no license numbers, and includes no link to any official registry. We separately checked the Financial Conduct Authority register — Fimatron does not hold a license there and does not appear in the FCA database at all. This is not a matter of interpretation, but a straightforward fact: without an FCA license, a broker has no legal right to operate in the United Kingdom.
Fimatron actively uses a UK address and UK phone numbers, creating the appearance of a British company. However, a check through Companies House produces a clear result: no organization with this name exists on the UK register. Neither active, nor dissolved, nor even in the process of registration. This means that we are dealing not just with an unregulated broker, but with a project that is not registered as a legal entity in the United Kingdom at all, despite all the claims and the deliberately “British” visual presentation.
Another important point is operating history. The company does not provide a specific founding date and does not share any history. This is not an oversight, but a deliberate concealment of information. At the same time, a domain check provides a clear reference point: the domain fimatron.com was registered in 2025. This fact reflects the platform’s actual lifespan. All statements about “experience”, a “team of traders”, and “global trust” are not supported by facts and directly contradict the technical data.
Fimatron’s reputation online is largely negative. Users openly label the project a scam and report problems with withdrawals, intrusive “assistants”, pressure to increase deposits, and unusual payment schemes, including cryptocurrency transfers. There are also telling accounts in which people confirm the absence of a license, fictitious banking details, and attempts to trap clients in endless “verification” procedures. All of this represents a standard set of warning signs described by traders not in theory, but based on personal experience.
Fimatron actively speaks about transparency, but the facts show the opposite. There is no Financial Conduct Authority license, no registration with Companies House, and no concrete figures for commissions or spreads. The company operates illegally, and cooperating with such a platform involves an enormous risk.
Helen always knew that her passion for journalism was more than just a hobby. It was a potential career. She began her professional journey at a local newspaper in the small town where she was born. Writing on a variety of topics, from local news to financial reviews, her persistence and investigative talent soon caught the attention of editors at larger publications. We are thrilled that Helen accepted our offer and now writes for fincapital-reviews. Her exposés always create a buzz. Sometimes, we think Helen could easily open her own detective agency.
I also considered trading here, but after reviewing online feedback, I decided against it. This is a 100 percent scam, with no doubts whatsoever… It turned out that they use fake contact details and a fake address in the United Kingdom. I want to warn everyone else about the fraudulent nature of this platform…
