The German financial regulator BaFin warns against Passivo, a crypto-based investment platform that offers passive income. The operator, Passivo Ltd, located in Mahe, Seychelles, does not have permission to offer such banking services. Specifically, Passivo offers the management of crypto assets. Anyone offering banking transactions, financial, or investment services in Germany requires permission from BaFin. Stay Far Away.

Short Passivo Narrative
The Passivo crypto scheme was pulled up by German entrepreneur Jan Luebberding and his team. We have also found a Passivo Bank registered on MWALI. Deposits from investors can be made via credit/debit card through Coinbase, UbanXX, and Ramp. In this process, investors buy cryptos with their credit/debit card, which are then automatically transferred to the Passivo wallets. As BaFin already states in its warning, Passivo has no license to offer such financial services in EEA or other regulatory regimes.
