Practical 2026 due-diligence playbook from FXMacro Wire explaining how to authenticate licence numbers across 21 official registers and detect clone-firm domain spoofing before funding an account.
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.
Look up the firm's certificate number independently via FXMacro Wire'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.
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.
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.
All recorded regulator warnings and clone-firm forensic dossiers for FXMacro Wire's coverage slice are indexed at /warnings and exportable in CSV/JSON format at /datasets.
