Important Notice
On 18 September 2025, Oman's Financial Services Authority cancelled CFI Financial LLC's capital-market licence for AML/CFT breaches and out-of-scope activity. Earlier, in May 2022, the CySEC entity was fined EUR 150,000 for AML/CFT breaches. CFI's DFSA (Dubai), CySEC (Cyprus, post-fine), and other regional licences remain active per current public records, but the dual AML enforcement history is worth weighing. Existing clients should verify which entity holds their account.
