FCA-regulated EMI MoneyNetInt was one of the big payment processors for the fraudulent binary options industry that defrauded hundreds of thousands of people out of tens of billions of dollars between 2010 and 2018. We exposed Israeli-controlled MoneyNetInt and its affiliated GlobalNetInt as payment facilitators in many scams. Consequently, in June 2021, the FCA announced that MoneyNetInt voluntarily stopped acquiring new customers temporarily in June 2021.

The FCA-regulated e-money institution MoneyNetInt had its best time during the binary options hype. Most of the binary options scheme providers were Israelis, and, as it turns out, almost all of them were scam schemes. Many of them were clients of MoneyNetInt, such as IC Option, TitanTrade, or the schemes of Uwe Lenhoff and Gal Barak. As of 2017, binary options were banned in most regulatory regimes. Since then, MoneyNetInt's business might not be doing so well either, as their latest figures suggest. Here is an update.
