What is known about HW Securities at the moment?

HW Securities is not regulated by any recognized financial authority. The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued a warning against HW Securities, indicating that the firm may be providing financial services or products in the UK without authorization. Similarly, the Central Bank of Ireland has also warned that HW Securities is operating as an investment firm in Ireland without appropriate authorization. Given the lack of regulation, transparency, and verifiable information, potential clients should exercise extreme caution when considering engaging with HW Securities.

TU Expert Advice: “I do not recommend HW Securities”

Anton Kharitonov
Anton KharitonovChief Analytics Officer

I have been working in the financial services market for a long period of time and consider myself an expert in safe investing. I can note that HW Securities demonstrates the following characteristics:

  • HW Securities is not regulated by a Level 1 regulator.
  • HW Securities is not regulated by a Level 2 regulator.
  • HW Securities is not regulated by a Level 3 regulator.
  • The company is either registered offshore or its registration number cannot be confirmed through official online databases.
  • The information about the HW Securities’s management is either absent or unreliable.

I recommend completely disregarding any mentions of such companies and refraining from doing business with them and its affiliate bodies. If you are already a client of such a company, immediately explore all options for getting your money back, up to filing a complaint with the financial oversight authorities and courts.

I recommend choosing only reliable and verified partners for trading on financial markets. You can use our 'Find my broker' tool for this purpose.

Which sources were utilized to evaluate the security of HW Securities?

The following information was used for the analysis and assessment of HW Securities reliability:

  • Registration details and information on licenses of brokers, financial companies, and their subsidiaries are published on their official websites.
  • Information from regulators' registries, including warnings, comments, and publications by regulators.
  • Data from analytical portals, including reviews, complaints, and claims filed by traders.

Tools Used by Scammers to Deceive Traders (June, 2026)
Deepfake: Scammers use AI-generated videos to offer investment opportunities in highly profitable projects. For example, you might see a video where Elon Musk recommends investing with a certain broker. In reality, the video is a deepfake created by AI.
Pseudo Hacking: Scammers create a fake broker page and persuade potential victims to risk a small amount of money. Victims then receive a message that their accounts are blocked due to a hacking attempt or a message from technical support asking for personal information to secure their accounts. Ultimately, victims provide scammers with access to their emails, wallets, and bank cards.

Conclusion Before starting to work with a broker, gather as much information about the company as possible. Compare its registration address and phone numbers across different resources. Ensure that the user agreement matches the company you intend to work with. Check the website for inactive links or layout errors.
