Polish Watchdog KNF Warns Against ExBino

Poland’s financial regulatory body, the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF), today issued a public warning against ExBino Ltd, an offshore provider of binary options, FX, and CFDs products, stating that the firm is not authorized to provide investment services or activities in the country.

The newest addition to the blacklist operates through https://exbino.com and claims an address at Orionweg, Willemstad, Curacao.

The KNF cautions the public that the aforementioned firm targets Polish customers and since it has no right to do so, the KNF has added this company to its list of unauthorized investment firms.

The public has thus been advised to abstain from any business or transactions with any unregulated providers and to be aware of the increased risk caused by the lack of authorization required to provide financial services in Poland and the European Union.

Investment services and activities in Poland may only be provided by companies licensed by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) under the terms of the Act on Financial Market Supervision.
