AstroFX Trade

Alpari

Alpari is a world-famous Forex broker brand that has been on the market for almost two decades. Are we dealing with a clone? Not this time. I am talking about THIS Alpari that everyone knows. After the problems in 2015 when that Alpari UK collapsed due to the release of the Swiss franc exchange rate, the whole brand was in a crisis. The result was regulatory migrations and a decline in confidence. For several years, Alpari has become exceptionally quiet. This time, the British FCA, without sentiment, added the broker to the list of warnings, which includes a huge list of common scams. Reason? No license in the European Union, especially in the UK, and (probably) active marketing.
