【Office】

According to the regulatory information, the Singapore licensed broker was located at 9 battery road 20-01 049909. The surveyor visited the broker. 

According to the regulatory information, the surveyor went to Battery Road and found the building shown in the photo. No.9 building was opposite to this building. 

The surveyor then walked across the road and went to one side of No.9 building, finding logos of forex.com and IG. It was surprising that IG shared a floor with forex.com. As a forex exchanger of quite strong strength worldwide, IG’s Singapore branch was very attractive. The surveyor looked forward to entering the branch to take photos of its interior. However, it was a pity that the surveyor failed to enter the office for inspection. 

The surveyor then went to the shared resting area near IG’s Singapore branch disappointedly and found not a few employees wearing badges of FOREX.com and IG.com chatting while drinking tea.
