MFSA warns investors about unauthorised clone using Trive identity

Regulator issues investor warning

The Malta Financial Services Authority issued a warning on 12 August 2026 concerning an unauthorised website impersonating licensed investment firm Trive Financial Services Europe Limited.

The MFSA identified the website as a clone operation and advised the public not to conduct any transactions with it.

Clone not authorised to provide financial services

According to the Authority, the operator of the website is neither a Maltese registered company nor licensed or authorised by the MFSA to provide financial services in or from Malta.

The warning relates solely to the unauthorised clone website and not to the genuine Trive Financial Services Europe Limited.

Investors urged to verify providers

The MFSA encouraged consumers to verify the authorisation status of financial-services providers before making transactions or providing personal or financial information.

Authorised firms can be checked through the MFSA’s official Financial Services Register.
