NAGA Markets Europe Ltd d/b/a NAGA is a Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF) regulated by CySEC with license number 204/13. It is certainly not a scam but applies offshore approaches that are not compliant with ESMA and CySEC rules. We have already exposed that NAGA is chasing European clients with fraud marketing campaigns and offshore onboarding via its entity NAGA Global LLC, St. Vincent & The Grenadines. German lawyers representing NAGA clients have already filed complaints against NAGA for their aggressive Margin Booster Bonus Scheme offered via its offshore entity (FinTelegram report here).

Naga Pay
Just a few weeks ago, NAGA launched NAGA Pay together with Contis. The NAGA Pay app, available on Google Play and in the Apple Store, promises that it can be used to make global payments via an IBAN bank account and invest and trade. Also included is a NAGA branded Visa debit card.
The NAGA Pay account and card are issued by Contis Financial Services Ltd, authorized as an e-Money Institution by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Bank of Lithuania. Contis will safeguard the clients’ funds.
Legal troubles in Germany
Attorneys for German NAGA clients have contacted NAGA to complain about the onboarding of German clients through the offshore entity NAGA Global LLC in connection with the Margin Booster Bonus System. The lawyers state that the offshore entity is not authorized to acquire clients in Germany and the EU (read this FinTelegram report here). Furthermore, the bonus system offered by the offshore entity would be illegal and contrary to CySEC guidelines. FinTelegram has already concluded that a few months ago.
