BaFin Flags finanzora.pro as Unauthorised Trading Platform

Germany's Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has warned consumers about the website finanzora.pro, which offers a trading platform under the company name “Quirion”. The regulator suspects the site's unknown operators of providing financial, investment and cryptoasset services without the required authorisation.

The warning, published on 11 August 2026, also flags a case of identity fraud. BaFin states that there is no connection between finanzora.pro and the Berlin-based company quirion AG, which is not associated with the website or the services offered there.

What the platform claims to be

The website finanzora.pro presents itself as a trading platform operating under the name “Quirion”. BaFin warns that the platform is part of a series of almost identical websites that use the slogan “Earn over €950 A DAY” to advertise their services, a pattern the regulator says it has already warned about.

BaFin suspects the unknown operators of offering consumers financial, investment and cryptoasset services without the required authorisation. In Germany, banks, financial services providers and insurers need official authorisation to conduct business.

Identity fraud, not a genuine firm

The regulator is explicit that the use of the Quirion name is a case of identity fraud. There is no connection to the Berlin-based company quirion AG, and that firm is not associated with the website or its services.

This distinction matters for consumers: the platform is borrowing the name of a real company to appear legitimate, while the actual operators remain unknown.

How the scheme appears to collect money

According to a law-firm article dated 10 August 2026, investors' bank statements for Quirion (finanzora.pro) often show an unknown company or private person rather than Quirion itself. This can indicate that the platform collects payments through intermediary accounts.

One cited example involved an investor transferring €5,000 to a company in Lithuania and a further €12,000 to a company in Spain for the same trading account. The article describes the platform as fraud and name misuse and notes that BaFin had already issued a warning about it.

Legal basis for the warning

BaFin issued the warning on the basis of section 37 (4) of the German Banking Act (KWG) and section 10 (7) of the German Cryptomarkets Supervision Act (KMAG). BaFin, together with the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) and the state criminal police offices, warns consumers to watch out for internet-based financial fraud.

How to protect yourself

Consumers can check a firm's registration in the relevant regulator's official register before handing over money. Comparing official domains and contact details can also help identify possible clones that borrow a legitimate company's name. Requests for advance withdrawal or release fees are a general warning sign, and absence from a warning list does not prove that a firm is safe.
