Reputation
9/10 · CriticalRegulator warnings from Italy and Belgium naming the exact domains, plus several independent scam-report write-ups, with effectively no legitimate reviews.

Who they are
A quick desk file on the company behind the brand.

- Websites: ftifinance.com, fti-finance.com, ftifinance.net, ftifinancelimited.com, client.ftifinancelimited.com

- Registered: Claims a Belize base; this could not be confirmed on any register.

- Offers: Online forex and CFD trading accounts that take client deposits.
- Regulator actions: Blacked out by Italy's CONSOB and warned about by Belgium's FSMA.

Why we reached this verdict
How the evidence adds up.
We reached a scam verdict because the operation wears another company's identity and licence, and two regulators have acted against it.
- The licence is not theirs. On the Central Bank of Ireland register, reference C22059 is FTI Finance Limited, trading as FTI Treasury, an Ireland-based investment firm authorised since 1995 that provides institutional treasury services from Dublin. It is not the retail trading site at ftifinance.com.
- Regulators named the exact websites. Italy's CONSOB ordered the blackout of ftifinancelimited.com and client.ftifinancelimited.com as an unauthorised operator, and the earlier domain ftifinance.net was flagged by both CONSOB and Belgium's FSMA.
- The infrastructure is young and disposable. ftifinance.com was registered in 2024 on a recycled address, and ftifinancelimited.com no longer resolves. The operation moves to a fresh domain each time one is closed.
- Reported conduct. Independent reviews describe deposits accepted and withdrawals then refused unless further fees or taxes are paid, which is the advance-fee pattern.
- Using a genuine firm's name and licence number to take deposits is the core scam mechanic, so we assess the risk of fraud as high.
Evidence ledger
Every finding, with its source and how strongly it points.
E1The Central Bank of Ireland register lists reference C22059 as FTI Finance Limited, trading name FTI Treasury, an authorised MiFID investment firm. This is the real holder of the licence, so the ftifinance.com trading site is wearing another company's authorisation.
E2CONSOB's blackout order of 19 March 2026 lists 'FTI Finance' with websites ftifinancelimited.com and client.ftifinancelimited.com among sites offering financial services in Italy without authorisation.
Hard proofCONSOB (Italy), blackout warningE3Belgium's FSMA register records the genuine FTI Finance Ltd as an Ireland-based EEA investment firm at Harbourmaster Place, Dublin, passporting into Belgium. This confirms the real firm whose identity the ftifinance.com operation borrows.
StrongFSMA (Belgium) registerE4Domain records show ftifinance.com was registered on 29 April 2024, while the firm it impersonates has been Central Bank of Ireland regulated since 1995. The registrant is a drop-catch registrar and the domain has been used and abandoned repeatedly.
E5Archived snapshots show ftifinance.com sitting on a domain-for-sale parking page in 2024, and ftifinancelimited.com no longer resolves. The operation cycles through short-lived domains rather than running one continuous site.
E6Multiple independent broker-review and scam-report sites describe ftifinance.com as impersonating the Central Bank of Ireland-regulated FTI Treasury and report that withdrawals are blocked behind additional fees and taxes.
ModerateIndependent broker-review sitesE7The genuine firm's own page confirms FTI Finance Limited, trading as FTI Treasury, is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland since December 1995 and provides institutional treasury and MiFID services, a different business from a retail forex website.
The other side
The strongest case in this broker’s favour.
In fairness, we tested the innocent explanations before concluding.
- Could it be a regional arm of the real Irish firm? No. The genuine FTI Finance Limited (FTI Treasury) is an institutional treasury outsourcer that uses only ftitreasury.com; its register records show a Dublin firm doing reception and transmission of orders, not a Belize retail forex brand.
- Could the licence be a recent addition not yet visible? No. The licence exists, but the register shows it under the real firm, with no connection to ftifinance.com.
- Is this a name collision with an unrelated firm? A separate SEC alert names an 'FTI Brokers' impersonating FTI Consulting; that is a different matter and we did not attribute it here.
- Every innocent explanation fails against the register record and the regulator warnings.
What would change this
What we would need to see to revise the verdict.
This verdict would change only with strong primary evidence, none of which exists today.
- The Central Bank of Ireland adding ftifinance.com to FTI Finance Limited's own listed website and confirming the two are the same business.
- CONSOB and the FSMA withdrawing their actions against the FTI Finance domains.
- A genuine, in-force licence issued to this specific operation by a real regulator and verifiable on that regulator's own register.
- Consistent evidence that clients can deposit and then freely withdraw their funds.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this broker’s safety.
Is FTI Finance a scam?
Yes. FTI Finance (ftifinance.com) is a clone that copies the name and Central Bank of Ireland licence of a genuine Irish firm it has no link to. Italy's CONSOB has blacked out its websites and Belgium's FSMA has warned against it.
Is FTI Finance a fraud?
We did not find a court ruling that uses that word, so we do not state it as fact. What is documented is that CONSOB blacked out its sites as unauthorised, the FSMA warned against it, and it uses an Irish firm's licence number that is not its own. On that basis we assess the risk of fraud as high.
Is FTI Finance regulated?
No. It advertises Central Bank of Ireland licence C22059, but that licence belongs to a different, real company. This trading website holds no licence of its own with any regulator.
Can I withdraw my money from FTI Finance?
Independent reviews report that withdrawals are refused or stalled and that clients are asked to pay extra fees or taxes before any release. Money sent to an unauthorised operator like this is very hard to recover.
Is my money safe with FTI Finance?
No. There is no genuine regulator standing behind it and no investor-compensation protection. Two national regulators have already acted against its websites.
Who really owns Central Bank of Ireland licence C22059?
FTI Finance Limited, trading as FTI Treasury, a Dublin-based institutional treasury firm regulated since 1995. That company is unrelated to the ftifinance.com trading site and provides a completely different service.
Is FTI Finance the same as FTI Treasury?
No. FTI Treasury (ftitreasury.com) is the genuine, long-established Irish firm. The ftifinance.com operation copies its name and licence to look legitimate, but there is no connection between them.
How old is FTI Finance?
The website ftifinance.com was registered in 2024 on a recycled address, and its related domains have been shut down and replaced repeatedly since at least 2022. The since-1995 heritage it hints at belongs to the firm it impersonates, not to this operation.
Is FTI Finance a clone?
Yes. It presents itself as a Central Bank of Ireland-regulated firm by borrowing the identity and licence number of the real FTI Finance Limited. Regulators specifically warn consumers to watch for cloned firms like this.
What is the CONSOB warning about FTI Finance?
On 19 March 2026 Italy's CONSOB ordered the blackout of ftifinancelimited.com and client.ftifinancelimited.com as sites offering financial services without authorisation. The same operation's earlier domain, ftifinance.net, was flagged before that.
I was scammed by FTI Finance, what should I do?
Stop all payments, gather your records, and contact your bank or card provider about a chargeback right away. Report it to your national regulator, and do not pay anyone who promises to recover your funds for an upfront fee.
What should I check before depositing with any broker?
Look up the exact licence number on the regulator's own register and confirm the website and company name match. Be suspicious when a new site reuses a well-known firm's name, shows a licence held by a different company, or appears on a regulator warning list.

What we recommend
The practical takeaway from everything above.
Treat this website as unsafe and do not send it money.
- Do not deposit, and stop any further payments if you have already started.
- If you have already paid, contact your bank or card provider immediately and ask about a chargeback or recovery; card disputes are often possible for a limited period.
- Ignore anyone who contacts you promising to recover your funds for an upfront fee, which is a common follow-up scam.
- Check any broker on the regulator's own register before depositing, and be wary of firms that reuse a well-known company's name and licence number.
- Report the website to your national financial regulator.
