Three warnings in two days
BaFin, Germany's federal financial supervisory authority, has warned about three websites in notices published on 9 and 11 November 2026. The regulator said it suspects that regulated financial services were offered on each site without the authorisation German law requires.
The first warning, dated 9 November, concerns privaninvestment(.)com. BaFin said it suspects unknown operators of offering financial services and crypto-asset services there without the necessary permission. The notice does not name the people behind the site.
Two further warnings appeared on 11 November. BaFin said it suspects that operators of kapitum(.)com, acting under the name Kapitum Finance, are conducting banking business in Germany in the form of lending without authorisation.
The third notice concerns davoripro(.)com. According to BaFin's findings, financial and securities services and crypto-asset services are offered there without authorisation.
What the notices say, and what they leave open
Each notice describes a suspicion, not a finding by a court. BaFin published the three warnings as separate items, and nothing in them indicates that the websites are connected to one another.
Crypto-asset services, mentioned in two of the notices, are activities involving crypto-assets, a category that falls under financial supervision in Germany. The kapitum(.)com notice is different in kind: it concerns lending, described by BaFin as banking business.
BaFin did not say who operates the sites, how long they have been online, or whether it has taken any step beyond issuing the warnings. The notices name no individuals. In the kapitum(.)com case, BaFin attributes the activity to operators using the name Kapitum Finance without saying who they are.
