The FCA has warned against Quantara Global Markets, DEMINI TRADES and Weinvesta, stating that all three firms are unauthorised and may be targeting UK consumers. The warnings were published on 19 October 2026.
The regulator’s notices identify the following firms and websites:
According to the FCA, the firms may be providing or promoting financial services or products without its permission. It advises consumers to avoid dealing with them.
The FCA states that customers dealing with these firms will not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service for complaints or protection from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme if things go wrong.
The notices concern unauthorised activity; they do not announce criminal convictions or disclose investor losses.
Investors should use the FCA Firm Checker to verify a firm’s authorisation and permission to provide the intended service. When contacted unexpectedly, use the contact details listed by the regulator to check the approach independently.
Stay alert to unauthorised investment offers and consult BrokersView for further scam alerts before sending money.
