According to CySEC, the settlement has been reached with the CIF Finteractive Ltd for possible violation of the Investment Services and Activities and Regulated Markets Law of 2017(«the Law»). More specifically, the investigation for which the settlement was reached, covers the period 1.8.2019 to 28.2.2021 and involved assessing the Finteractives compliance with article 22(1) of the Law as to the authorisation condition laid down in article 17(2) of the Law, regarding the organisational requirements with which a CIF is required to comply.
