Before you send money
Protect yourself before committing funds to any financial entity or platform.
Check the register directly
Always check the regulator's own official register and use only the contact details published there, never the details given in a message or cold call.
How to protect yourself
If a firm is not authorised to operate in your country, you will have no access to statutory compensation schemes or the financial ombudsman if things go wrong.
Report an unauthorised firm
If you have been targeted by an unauthorised firm or lost funds, report it to your national financial authority and police. Where to report →
What this record does not tell you
- It is not our finding. Nothing on this page says this subject committed fraud. It records what named authorities published, on the dates shown.
- A warning is the regulator's statement, not a conviction. Many lists name firms that are not licensed in that jurisdiction, or that were reported by the public.
- Websites change hands; the same address may now be run by someone else.
- Same name, different entity. Names are matched as written. A legitimate firm can share a name with a warned entity, and clones copy real names deliberately.
- Absence is not clearance. An entity with no page here may simply not have been warned about yet — that is the normal state of a new fraud.
- Something wrong? Tell us — we correct the record and say so. Tell us
