Tier is the desk's shorthand for the supervising regime, not a quality score: T1 a top-tier statutory regulator, T2 a mid-tier one, T3 an offshore registration.

What the record says

The MFSA's clone warning (dated 21 April 2022 in search indexing) states that 'GKFX Trading Account' (gkfxtradingaccount.com) was making unauthorised use of the details of the MFSA-licensed company AKFX Financial Services Ltd.

GKFX Financial Services Ltd (UK) was renamed Trive Financial Services UK Limited; the FCA register (FRN 501320) records it as 'No longer authorised' — 'this firm can no longer provide regulated activities and products'.

FX News Group reported that Global Kapital Group transferred ownership of GKFX and GKPro to Trive, with EU retail operations housed in AKFX Financial Services Ltd (Malta).

The gkeurope.com domain served a GoDaddy parking page when checked on 2026-09-02.
