Why it is flagged
On 16 October 2026 the UK Financial Conduct Authority added Fx Quantix Option to its Warning List. The FCA states the firm is not authorised and may be offering or promoting financial services in the UK without permission. In plain terms it is not licensed to take your money. The name mixes forex and options branding and the site is only months old.
What “not authorised” means for you
When a firm is not authorised by the FCA, there is no safety net behind your deposit. You cannot take a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service, and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme will not cover your loss. If the platform stops paying out or disappears, there is no regulator standing behind it to make you whole. That is why the Warning List exists, to tell you before you deposit, not after.
Red flags to notice
- No FCA authorisation, confirmed on the regulator’s own Warning List.
- Trading or investment branding without a verifiable licence or a real company you can check.
- Any pressure to deposit quickly, add funds to withdraw, or pay a fee or tax to release money.
How to check before you deposit anywhere
Take 60 seconds and do this yourself for any platform:
- Search the firm on the FCA Warning List at fca.org.uk. If it appears there, walk away.
- Search the FCA Register at register.fca.org.uk. If it is not listed with the right permissions, it is not authorised.
- Never verify a firm through a link or phone number it gave you. Type the regulator address in yourself.

If you have already paid money
- Stop depositing. Do not pay any fee, tax or margin to release a withdrawal. That demand is itself a scam signal.
- Save everything: statements, chats, emails, receipts and any wallet addresses.
- Tell your bank or card provider now and ask about a chargeback or fraud claim.
- File a formal report with the authorities below. None of them charge you.
