Fraud Alert: TrustFinance Not Authorised by CIMA (2025-08-15)

Summary

This is a public fraud alert issued by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) warning that an entity called "TrustFinance" is falsely claiming, via social media and promotional materials, to be approved or authorised by CIMA to operate in the Cayman Islands. CIMA states unequivocally that TrustFinance is not and never has been registered, licensed, regulated, or otherwise authorised by CIMA to conduct financial services business in or from the Cayman Islands.

The notice is aimed at the general public rather than regulated entities, and it does not impose any regulatory obligations on licensees or industry participants.

• Exercise caution when dealing with TrustFinance or similar investment offerings.
• Verify regulatory status claims independently via CIMA's website.
• Report concerns or complaints about TrustFinance to financial crime or regulatory enforcement authorities in their own jurisdiction.

This is purely an informational/warning notice with no continuing compliance requirement for regulated firms; it serves to disclaim any association between CIMA and TrustFinance and to direct consumers toward verification resources and complaint channels.
