The National Securities and Stock Market Commission of Ukraine has published investor guidance on using its official registers to verify whether a company is authorized to operate in the capital markets. Investors should confirm that a firm appears in the register of professional market participants or, where relevant, the collective investment institutions register, and that its licensed activities cover the services being offered. The guidance advises investors to compare the firm’s website, bank details and contact information with the regulator’s records to detect entities impersonating licensed companies. Legitimate firms accept funds only into their own bank accounts, rather than personal cards, electronic wallets or crypto wallets. Investors should also check the Commission’s list of questionable investment projects and pseudo-brokers, and treat guaranteed high returns, pressure to transfer money immediately or requests to install remote-access software as warning signs.
