Deterministic 4-stage supervisory lookup and domain-binding audit trail.
3-Step Official Registry Verification Checklist
Mandatory operational due diligence before onboarding or wiring margin capital.
Verify Contracting Legal Name
Confirm that the exact corporate entity named in your client service agreement matches the legal entity recorded against certificate AAW261 (UOB Kay Hian (Hong Kong) Limited), rather than an unregulated offshore group affiliate.
Cross-Check Approved Web Domain
Clone firms routinely spoof genuine licence numbers on look-alike domains. Verify that the domain hosting your login portal matches the regulator-approved domain on file (www.utrade.com.hk).
Audit Retail & Client-Money Scope
Inspect the primary supervisory register to ensure licence AAW261 explicitly authorises retail client onboarding, segregated client trust accounts, and the derivative or spot instruments you intend to trade.

Structured regulatory verification guidance for compliance officers and retail allocators.
Which financial institution holds regulatory licence number AAW261?

How do I verify that licence AAW261 is not being misused by a clone firm?
Clone firms frequently copy genuine registration numbers such as AAW261 (SFC) while operating on an unauthorised web domain. To verify authenticity: (1) open the official SFC public register; (2) confirm the exact legal entity name matches "UOB Kay Hian (Hong Kong) Limited"; and (3) verify that the website domain you are visiting matches the regulator-approved domain (www.utrade.com.hk).
Does a recorded licence status for AAW261 guarantee statutory investor compensation?
No. Even when a certificate number (AAW261) is recorded as regulated or registered, statutory investor protection (such as UK FSCS up to £85,000, EU/CySEC ICF up to €20,000, or US SIPC up to $500,000) depends on the specific supervising jurisdiction, the exact subsidiary onboarding your account, and whether the product traded is covered by the statutory mandate.
How is the SHA-256 verification digest for licence AAW261 calculated?
ETFYield Lab computes a deterministic SHA-256 cryptographic digest over the canonical oracle response payload (queried licence identifier, matched supervisory records, regulator states, and methodology reference). Compliance teams and automated agents can compare this hash against /api/v1/verify/license?number=AAW261 to audit record integrity.
Structured against supervisory register snapshots and public regulatory filings. Verify your contracting legal entity and current authorisation status directly on the issuing regulator’s official register before transacting.
