The Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) warns consumers about the services offered on the website green-lmtd(.)com. BaFin suspects the unknown operators of offering consumers financial, investment and cryptoasset services in Germany without the required authorisation. The operators falsely claim to be supervised by the “European Financial Supervisory Authority” (FINA EU). There is no such authority; BaFin has already issued a warning to this effect.

Anyone conducting banking business or providing financial, investment or cryptoasset services in Germany may do so only with authorisation from BaFin. However, some companies offer these services without the necessary authorisation. Information on whether a particular company has been granted authorisation by BaFin can be found in BaFin ’s database of companies.

BaFin is issuing this warning on the basis of section 37 (4) of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz – KWG) and section 10 (7) of the German Cryptomarkets Supervision Act (Kryptomärkteaufsichtsgesetz – KMAG).
