The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued a warning against Afex EU on Mar 22, 2023, revealing that this broker might be providing financial services or products in the UK without authorization: https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/afex-europe-limited-afex-eu
Afex EU claims to be operated by AFEX Europe Limited and regulated by various authorities, such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), and Italian Companies and Exchange Commission (CONSOB).
However, our search for this broker in above-mentioned regulators' registries did not yield any matching results. That means what it claims is a false statement to unsuspecting investors. In addition, the FCA has issued a warning against Afex EU after finding this broker might be providing financial services or products in the UK without authorization.



The truth is, Afex EU is not regulated by any regulators. Letting this broker hold or control investors' money is unsafe, and the money can not be protected by any laws.
Therefore, Afex EU is a scam.
