Scores are fully independent of commercial deals and are not investment advice; fund safety ultimately depends on the licensed entity that onboards your account.

When was KGI Securities Co Ltd founded and where is it based?

How can I verify KGI Securities Co Ltd's licences myself?

Take the licence number to the regulator's official register (FCA Register, ASIC Connect, NFA BASIC, etc.) and search it. Every licence row on FXCN links to its regulator evidence page with a last-verified date.

How do I spot clone firms impersonating KGI Securities Co Ltd?

Clone firms reuse a genuine broker's name and licence number but operate different domains, payment accounts and support channels. Trust only the domain on the regulator's record; "agent onboarding" or "insider channels" are scam signals. Cross-check with FXCN's scam-check tool. Scam Check
