Read the exclusion list
Most brokers exclude jurisdictions where they are not permitted to solicit. Fino Glob’s list runs to roughly seventy countries and includes the United States, the United Kingdom by implication, Belgium, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Iceland, Slovenia, India, Nigeria, Kenya — and Mauritius.
Mauritius is where the advertised licence comes from. A firm that will not take clients in its own licensing jurisdiction is telling you that the licence is a marketing asset rather than a supervisory relationship covering the people it actually serves.
The name you are told to search is not the name on the register
The footer says: “From FSCMAURITUS Search Name: Fino Glob Ltd for license.” The same footer says the licence belongs to “Fino Global Ltd., with registration number C169719”.
Those are different strings. Anyone following the instruction will search the wrong name, find nothing, and either give up or assume they made a mistake. Whether that is carelessness or design, the effect is the same: the one check the site invites you to make is the one it has made harder.
What the footer admits
Further down, plainly: “The company does not hold any regulatory license in the European Union or the United Kingdom and does not actively market or provide regulated services in those jurisdictions.” Engagement with EU or UK clients is described as limited to people who “approach the company on their own initiative”.
That sentence is doing legal work. It is the standard reverse-solicitation argument, and it is the thing regulators look at hardest when a firm turns out to have been advertising into a market it claims it never approached. CONSOB has already ordered this domain blocked in Italy.

How to check a licence properly
Search the regulator’s register yourself, using the exact company name on the contract, not the trading name on the website. Check what the licence actually permits — a dealer licence is not a client-money licence. Check whether your own country is on the firm’s exclusion list. And ask why a broker would hold a licence in a country it refuses to serve.

Holding an offshore licence is lawful and is not by itself evidence of wrongdoing. The problem here is the distance between what the homepage advertises and what the footer concedes. If you are already trading with this firm, test a small withdrawal before you add anything further.
