According to updates from the German financial regulator BaFin in December 2024, the following brokers are not authorized under the KWG to conduct banking business or provide financial services.
These unauthorized operators offer financial and investment services on their websites without the necessary approval.
Some of the unlicensed brokers were even trying to convince the public that they were fully regulated by watchdogs by claiming or implying to be famous firms.
If you find your broker is on the list of warned brokers, please immediately stop paying and seek help from your local enforcement agencies and financial watchdogs.
