Scope of this check
The provider publishes FCA authorisation andFRN114239. FCA's official clone notice independently identifies the genuine authorised Sucden Financial Limited,114239,sucdenfinancial.com and the same London contact details; that notice concerns unrelated impersonators. Direct FCA register search returned a loading/CSS error, so a fresh full permissions match was not completed. The provider expressly excludes commercial foreign exchange from the scope of FCA regulation; the stated licence does not automatically cover every service.
