Erscheinung:18.09.2025 | Topic Unauthorised business, Consumer protection zinsvermittler(.)com: BaFin warns against offers on the website
According to their findings, the unknown operators offer fixed-term deposits, overnight deposits, flexible deposits and investment advice on the website without authorisation.
The unknown operators claim to be supervised by BaFin. This is not the case.
The unknown operators of the website zinsvermittler.com have no connection to Döbelner Service & Immobilien GmbH, based in Döbeln, Finanzlotsen Hamburg GmbH, based in Hamburg, and AS Finanz GmbH, based in Zurich, all of which are mentioned on the website. This is a case of identity theft.
Anyone conducting banking business or providing financial, investment or crypto asset services in Germany may do so only with authorisation from BaFin. However, some companies offer these services without the required authorisation. Information on whether 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.
