Why we think so

✅ Verdict: Safe / Trusted — Quilter (quilter.com) appears to be a legitimate, UK-based wealth manager and platform. The site shows substantial traffic (~495k monthly), an extended UK audience, verified contact details and corporate DNS/SSL records (EV SSL). There are some customer-service complaints and a recorded provision (~£76M) for remediation of adviser services; those are service-quality issues rather than evidence of fraud. No phishing or crypto blacklist matches were found in the scanned sources. Overall: proceed with normal caution (verify contacts before sending money).

Red Flags & Warnings

  • Presence of many domain verification TXT records and third‑party integrations — while normal for an enterprise, these increase the attack surface if internal controls slip.

🔎 Detailed Checks & Analysis

Domain age & registrar check

Score: 92/100
Passed

"Registrar CSC and established name servers (netnames) are typical for large UK firms; no recent suspicious transfers were detected."

Reason: Registrar is a corporate registrar (CSC) and historical WHOIS indicates long-term registration consistent with a legitimate brand.

SSL / TLS & certificate validity

Score: 95/100
Passed

"Certificate (DigiCert EV RSA CA G2) valid from 2025-07-01 to 2026-02-06; presence of CAA records shows some certificate issuance controls."

Reason: EV TLS certificate issued by DigiCert and currently valid; HTTPS in use across the site.

Traffic & engagement signals

Score: 90/100
Passed

"SimilarWeb and SimilarTech report consistent traffic patterns and a dominant UK visitor base (~97%), which reduces likelihood of an isolated scam site."

Reason: High monthly visits (~494k) and deep engagement (≈7.6 pages/visit) consistent with an active corporate site.

Reputation & news presence

Score: 84/100
Passed

"News items show hires, partnerships and research reports. There are service-quality complaints and a remediation provision, which are reputational negatives but not indicators of fraud."

Reason: Multiple recent press releases and corporate news items; no major fraud allegations found in the scanned news sources.

Blacklist / phishing / malware indicators

Score: 96/100
Passed

"Scanned blacklist sources show no active phishing/malware flags; continue to re-check periodically since flags can appear later."

Reason: No Google Safe Browsing matches, and crypto-scam scanner returned no blacklist hit for the domain.

Contact details & ownership signals

Score: 90/100
Passed

"Emails like ask@quilter.com and a public press office address appear on multiple official pages; these facilitate direct verification."

Reason: Public corporate emails, phone numbers and social profiles are present and match the brand.

Trademark conflict / brand impersonation (USPTO)

Score: 78/100
Passed

"No matching USPTO records returned for 'quilter.com' in the brief search, though full global trademark checks would be broader."

Reason: No conflicting trademarks found in a quick USPTO search for the query, lowering simple trademark-conflict risk in US filings.

Legal & regulatory flags

Score: 68/100
Failed

"Provision relates to service delivery shortfalls and client remediation; this reduces the legal/regulatory score but is not the same as fraud or criminal activity."

Reason: Company has recorded a ~£76M provision for remediation of adviser services, indicating regulatory and customer-service issues.

Your Next Steps

  • 1
    Verify contact addresses before sharing money or personal data — use ask@quilter.com or official phone numbers listed on the site and cross-check via the site’s Help & Support pages.
  • 2
    If you’re dealing with financial advice/offers, confirm the adviser is FCA-registered using the Financial Conduct Authority register in the UK.
  • 3
    Report any suspicious emails or lookalike websites to Quilter (their published guidance covers impersonation scams) and to your bank if payment was requested.
  • 4
    Avoid sending funds in response to unsolicited approaches; confirm identity by calling a published number from the site rather than replying to an email.
  • 5
    Keep records (screenshots, emails) and escalate to your local consumer protection or the UK’s Action Fraud if you suspect criminal impersonation.
