Polish Regulator Issues Warning Against Unauthorised Broker FxOnUs

The financial markets watchdog in Poland, Financial Supervision Authority (MFSA), today issued a warning against the flagged unauthorised broker FxOnUs Ltd, which was added to its warning list of unregulated entities.

The public should therefore refrain from undertaking any business or transactions with the above-mentioned entity.
