This included its DisputeWatch tool which lets the broker search its community registry to see if a client has any dispute records, and sends alerts regarding suspicious clients that have the potential to abuse a company. DisputeWatch achieves this by allowing companies to share dispute information to protect themselves from being attacked by the same fraudsters.
The service has already amassed a list of key including Pepperstone, AvaTrade, USGFX, IC Markets, GKFX, One Financial Markets, ADS Securities, INFINOX, CAPXM, and Amana Capital.
The FinaCom PLC has also launched a new tool to help cryptocurrency investors check if an investment opportunity is a scam. Dubbed ‘Blockchain Warning List,’ the new service provides information about the potentially damaging behavior of certain digital asset providers.
The most recent entries in this list include crypto exchanges and wallets suspected of conducting illegal activities depending on reports and complaints filed by their customers.
