CySEC warns of binary options broker 500option (aka Fundsaver Services)

The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) today issued its second warning against Fundsaver Services Ltd, this time referring to its binary options brand 500option.com (www.500option.com).

The regulator notes that the company is not allowed to provide investment and ancillary services in Cyprus, pursuant to Investment Services and Activities and Regulated Markets Law, as it has never been authorized by the Commission.

500optionCySEC adds that no notification has been received by a competent authority of another Member State, pursuant to sections 77 and 80 of the above mentioned Law.

Earlier this month, CySEC published a warning against Fundsaver Services Ltd, referring to ubroker, a Forex brokerage that is not licensed by the Cypriot authorities either. The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority has also alerted the public that the Forex brokerage is unauthorized to offer investment services to UK residents.
