Short Narrative
In correspondence with customers, SWKInvest claims to be doing business at the corporate address of Süd-West-Kreditbank Finanzierung GmbH. This German credit institution has BaFin approval. However, this is not the case with SWKInvest. Rather, the use of the abbreviation “SWK” is to be classified as misuse of identity at the expense of Süd-West-Kreditbank Finanzierung GmbH, the BaFin concludes.
In addition, it has come to the attention of the supervisory authority that employees of SWKInvest are apparently using forged documents for their business activities, including those of the U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), and the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). In this way, the company’s own respectability is to be feigned.
