Finnish Regulator Warns Against Financial Scams and Fraud

The FIN-FSA published consumer guidance on warning signs of financial scams, including unsolicited phone contact from outside the EU, demands for upfront payment, guaranteed high returns, and pressure for immediate decisions. The guidance advises consumers to verify service provider existence, ownership structure, authorization status, and supervisory authority before committing funds. Links to five warning-list categories are provided: unauthorized service providers, prospectus violations, insurance brokerage prohibitions, foreign authority warnings, and supervised entity warnings.

Service Provider Notification Register

Finland's Financial Supervisory Authority maintains a public register of service providers that have submitted notifications under applicable financial regulations. The register includes contact information, countries to which entities provide services, and details on authorization or other grounds entitling supervised entities to operate. Due to a change in ESMA's notification process, funds notified to Finland after 11 September 2024 may not temporarily appear on the register; users are advised to check ESMA's public register for up-to-date information on notified funds.
