Sweden’s Financial Supervisory Authority (Finansinspektionen, FI) has warned consumers about loan fee fraud and added four purported firm names to its warning list: Nordic Finanx, Agri Financial Company, Jarifarl and Trulann. FI said the scammers offer loans in exchange for upfront fees, but consumers receive no loan after paying. The identified entities are not authorised to provide financial services in Sweden and are not under FI supervision; FI also noted it has received no notification of cross-border activity from another EEA country and that the entities lack authorisation in the jurisdictions they claim as their home. FI reiterated that its warning list covers firms offering financial services or products without a permit and pointed consumers to its company register and IOSCO’s global database of regulatory warnings to verify providers.
