Erscheinung:16.06.2025 | Topic Unauthorised business, Consumer protection axessinvest.de: BaFin warns consumers about website and identity fraud

The financial supervisory authority BaFin warns against offers from the website axessinvest.de. The website gives the impression that it is operated by the BaFin-registered MarketAxess NL B.V. branch in Frankfurt. This is not true. It is a case of identity theft.

Anyone providing financial or investment services in Germany may do so only with authorisation from BaFin. However, some companies offer these services without the necessary authorisation.

The information provided by BaFin is based on section 37 (4) of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz – KWG).

Please be aware:

BaFin warns consumers about fraudulent term deposit offers.

You can view BaFin’s current warnings about companies operating without the required authorisation and find out how to protect yourself from fraudsters on the financial market in the “Recognising financial fraud” section of our website.
