  • 2023-05-31 BrokersView has reviewed that Advancia is an unregulated broker

    Advancia fails to disclose its regulatory information and licensing data, a significant indicator of scam. Legitimate brokers always prominently display their accreditation and licenses to instill trust and transparency, whereas the lack of information thereof may suggest the status as an unlicensed broker. Advancia claims in the legal documents on its website that it is in Switzerland. Therefore, it is required to be registered as a bank under the regulation by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) before operating as a forex broker. However, the FINMA has added Advancia to its warning list for not in the authority's commercial register.

    In essence, Advancia is not regulated by any governing body. Entrusting this broker with investors' funds is highly risky, as there are no legal protections in place to safeguard the funds. It is unequivocally a scam.

ANSWER Advancia is an unlicensed broker that we advise against trading with despite the seemingly attractive deals it offers.Advancia fails to disclose its regulatory information and licensing data, a significant indicator of scam. Legitimate brokers always prominently display their accreditation and licenses to instill trust and transparency, whereas the lack of information thereof may suggest the status as an unlicensed broker. Advancia claims in its legal documents that it is in Switzerland. Therefore, it is required to be registered as a bank under the regulation by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) before operating as a forex broker. However, the FINMA has added Advancia to its warning list for not in the authority's commercial register. You can access the warning here.Regarding your question, we strongly suggest you avoid engaging with Advancia since it is a non-regulated broker carrying significant risks including financial losses and identity theft. Once your money enters its system, there are no rules to safeguard it. Therefore, investors are advised against dealing with unlicensed brokers like Advancia and to choose fully regulated ones instead.
