Providers of banking business or financial services in Germany require a permit according to the German Banking Act (KWG). However, some companies act without the required permission. Information on whether a particular company is licensed by BaFin can be found in the company database.
BaFin publishes warnings on its website about companies operating without a license as well as specific measures it has ordered against them.
In addition, BaFin also warns against certain transactions or business practices. For example, it has already pointed out the dangers of doing business with unlicensed trading platforms on several occasions.
