Erscheinung:07.08.2024 | Topic Unauthorised business, Consumer protection BaFin again investigates the company GoldCapital24
The Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) warns consumers about other services offered by the operator of the online trading platform GoldCapital24. BaFin has information that the company is offering banking business and financial services also on its website goldcapital24.eu without the required authorisation. The company is not supervised by BaFin.
Financial services may only be offered in Germany if the company providing these services has the necessary authorisation from BaFin to do this. However, some companies offer these services without the required authorisation. Information on whether particular companies have been authorised by BaFin can be found in BaFin’s database of companies.
The information provided by BaFin is based on section 37 (4) of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz – KWG).
Please be aware:
BaFin, the German Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt – BKA) and the German state criminal police offices (Landeskriminalämter) recommend that consumers seeking to invest money online should exercise the utmost caution and do the necessary research beforehand in order to identify fraud attempts at an early stage.
