False claims by RETINARXIV Brokers that it is regulated by the DFSA

The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) alerts the financial services community and the public to an entity RETINARXIV BROKERS which is falsely claiming to be regulated by the DFSA.

The DFSA confirms that RETINARXIV BROKERS is not, and has never been, authorised by the DFSA to provide Financial Services. No companies named “RETINARXIV” have been registered in Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).

RETINARXIV BROKERS states on its website that it obtained DFSA approval in 2019, and includes a link to a cloned version of the DFSA’s Public Register. The cloned register lists “Retinarxiv Limited” as a Non-DIFC Company authorised to provide the Financial Services of “Investments” and “CFDs”.

The DFSA strongly advises you not to respond to any communications regarding this entity. Under no circumstances should you send or give any money to any party connected to RETINARXIV BROKERS.
