Is NBI INVESTMENTS a scam?

Broker Summary
What Wikilix has recorded about NBI INVESTMENTS: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.
NBI INVESTMENTS Broker Overview
NBI INVESTMENTS is a forex and CFD brand that traded under the domain nbimarkets.net and named NBI INVESTMENTS LIMITED of Limassol, Cyprus as its company. The company itself is real and verifiable: it is registered with the Cypriot Department of Registrar of Companies and Intellectual Property under number HE 289258 and remains listed as active. The trading service, however, is not currently operating. The nbimarkets.net domain does not resolve, and neither its public pages nor its client and trading portals can be reached.
Because the website is offline, the broker's own published terms, pricing, funding channels and platform list cannot be read. What can be documented is a four tier account ladder with entry deposits from EUR 250 to EUR 50,000 and leverage of up to 1:400, and the corporate record of the company named behind the brand.
NBI INVESTMENTS Regulation and License
No trading licence for the NBI INVESTMENTS service could be confirmed. There is no forex or CFD authorisation on record for this operation, no licence number published that WIKILIX was able to verify, and no regulator that can be shown to supervise the nbimarkets.net service or to hold client money protections over it.
What does exist is a company registration. NBI INVESTMENTS LIMITED is incorporated in Cyprus, and that fact is confirmed on the official registry. A company registration is not financial regulation. It records that a legal entity exists; it grants no permission to accept client deposits, to deal in foreign exchange, or to offer leveraged products, and it carries no compensation scheme or segregation requirement for client funds.
There is a further matter a prospective client should weigh. The Italian securities regulator CONSOB published a warning in December 2022 that named the nbimarkets.net domain, together with its account and trading subdomains, among websites offering financial services without authorisation in Italy. The brand's account tiers are named in Italian, which is consistent with an operation aimed at Italian speaking clients.
Is NBI INVESTMENTS Regulated?
No. On the evidence available, NBI INVESTMENTS holds no confirmed financial regulation for the trading service it offered. The Cypriot company behind the brand is properly registered as a company, but WIKILIX could not establish that the nbimarkets.net trading service was operated under, or covered by, any investment firm authorisation. A reader should treat the operation as unregulated unless and until a licence covering it is produced and can be checked against the issuing authority's own register.
NBI INVESTMENTS LIMITED
The legal company named behind the brand is NBI INVESTMENTS LIMITED, a private limited company registered in Cyprus on 23 June 2011 under number HE 289258. Its registered office is Arch. Makariou III 256, Eftapaton Court 2, Unit A, Floor 4, 3105 Limassol, Cyprus. The registry lists six directors and a company secretary, and an LEI record for the same company and number confirms the same address and an active status.
Two details are worth noting. The address carried on the brand's own listing gives the street number as 56 rather than the registered 256, and the company's last completed annual return was filed on 27 November 2020, with several later annual returns still shown as pending. The registration is genuine, but the filing record is not current.
Is NBI INVESTMENTS Safe?
NBI INVESTMENTS cannot be considered safe to fund. The decisive points are that no supervising authority can be confirmed over the service, that a European regulator publicly flagged the domain as offering financial services without authorisation, and that the website and its client portals are now unreachable. A client with a balance on an offline platform has no published route to recover it, and no regulator identified as able to compel its return.
The existence of a registered and active Cypriot company does not offset this. Registration tells a client who to name in a complaint; it does not tell them that their deposits were ever held under supervision.
NBI INVESTMENTS Account Types
Four account tiers were published, separated by entry deposit and leverage ceiling rather than by any disclosed pricing:
- MICRO: from EUR 250. Leverage not stated.
- ARGENTO: from EUR 5,000, leverage up to 1:200.
- ORO: from EUR 25,000, leverage up to 1:300.
- PLATINO: from EUR 50,000, leverage up to 1:400.
Automated trading was indicated as supported on each tier. No spread, commission, account currency, minimum trade size or instrument coverage was published for any of the four, so the real cost of trading on any tier is unknown. The EUR 25,000 and EUR 50,000 entry points are high by retail standards and place meaningful sums with an operator whose supervision could not be established.
NBI INVESTMENTS Leverage
Leverage rose with the size of the deposit, from 1:200 on ARGENTO to 1:300 on ORO and 1:400 on PLATINO. Leverage at 1:400 is well above the retail limits that apply in the European Union, where regulated providers are generally capped at 1:30 for major currency pairs.
NBI INVESTMENTS Pros and Cons
Pros
- The company named behind the brand is real, identifiable and confirmed as active on the official Cypriot registry, with a registration number, an incorporation date, a street address and named officers.
- The account ladder and its leverage ceilings were published clearly enough to compare tier by tier.
Cons
- No trading licence could be confirmed for the service, and company registration is not a substitute for one.
- A European regulator named the domain in a warning about unauthorised financial services.
- The website and its client and trading portals no longer resolve, so the service cannot be reached or assessed.
- No pricing, funding, withdrawal, platform or support information is available.
- Leverage of up to 1:400 far exceeds the limits applied to regulated retail providers in the European Union.
NBI INVESTMENTS Review and Assessment
NBI INVESTMENTS presents an unusual combination: a genuine, long registered Cypriot company on one side, and on the other a trading domain that an Italian authority warned about and that is now entirely offline. The gap between the two is the whole of the problem. Confirming that a company exists is not confirming that it was licensed to take deposits, and nothing available closes that gap for the nbimarkets.net service.
The most important consideration before acting on this profile is therefore not pricing or leverage but recoverability. Anyone who deposited with this brand should treat it as a recovery matter rather than a trading account, and anyone considering a similar offer should require a licence number that can be checked directly against the issuing regulator's own register before sending money.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about NBI INVESTMENTS
Treat it as a recovery matter rather than a trading account. Gather every record you hold, including deposit receipts, card or bank references, the account name and any correspondence.
Raise a chargeback or recall with the bank or card issuer that processed the payment, and report the matter to the financial regulator and police in your own country of residence. Do not pay any third party that offers to recover the funds for a fee.
There is no working contact route. No telephone number, support email, live chat or business hours is published for this broker, and the website that would carry them is offline.
The only verifiable physical address is the registered office of NBI INVESTMENTS LIMITED in Limassol, which is a corporate registration address rather than a published client support channel.
This could not be determined. No client agreement, restricted countries page, signup form or risk disclaimer was reachable, so no accepted or refused jurisdiction can be stated.
The account tiers were named in Italian, which is consistent with an operation aimed at Italian speaking clients, and Italy is the market whose regulator warned about the domain.
No withdrawal processing time was ever published, and no withdrawal terms are available to read.
In practice the question is moot while the platform is unreachable: there is no published channel through which a withdrawal could be requested.
No deposit or withdrawal method is published for NBI INVESTMENTS, and no fee, processing time or limit is disclosed for any channel.
With the website and its client portals offline, there is no functioning route to fund an account or request a withdrawal.
No platform could be confirmed. Neither a MetaTrader server, a web terminal, a mobile app nor any download link is documented for this broker.
The account tiers did indicate support for automated trading, but the software that would run it is not identified anywhere available.
This is not known. No spread, commission, swap or account currency was published for any of the four account tiers.
Because the website is offline, no fee schedule or client agreement can be read, so the real cost of trading cannot be established.
Up to 1:400, on the highest PLATINO tier. ARGENTO was capped at 1:200 and ORO at 1:300, while no leverage figure was published for MICRO.
Leverage of 1:400 is far above the limits applied to regulated retail providers in the European Union, where major currency pairs are generally capped at 1:30.
The lowest published entry deposit was EUR 250, on the MICRO tier.
The other tiers required considerably more: EUR 5,000 for ARGENTO, EUR 25,000 for ORO and EUR 50,000 for PLATINO.
The brand named NBI INVESTMENTS LIMITED, a private limited company registered in Cyprus on 23 June 2011 under number HE 289258, with its registered office at Arch. Makariou III 256, Eftapaton Court 2, Unit A, Floor 4, 3105 Limassol.
The registry lists six directors and a company secretary. WIKILIX could not establish that this company operated the nbimarkets.net trading service, and that unresolved link is central to the assessment.
No. The nbimarkets.net domain no longer resolves, and neither its public pages nor its account and trading portals can be reached.
This means the operation cannot currently be contacted or assessed through its own website, and anyone holding a balance has no published route to reach the operator.
WIKILIX rates NBI INVESTMENTS as high risk and unverified rather than a proven fraud. No supervising authority could be confirmed, the Italian securities regulator CONSOB named the nbimarkets.net domain in a December 2022 warning about websites offering financial services without authorisation, and the site has since gone offline.
That combination is enough to advise against sending money, but it does not by itself establish that client funds were stolen.
No licence could be confirmed for NBI INVESTMENTS. There is no forex or CFD authorisation on record for the nbimarkets.net service and no regulator that can be shown to supervise it.
The Cypriot company named behind the brand, NBI INVESTMENTS LIMITED, is registered as a company under number HE 289258, but a company registration is not a trading licence and gives no permission to hold client money.
