With the recent global increase in phishing scams, we want to help you stay vigilant against fraudulent attempts.
Scammers are impersonating Monex group companies and employees through fake websites, emails, and phone calls. These scams often replicate our branding — including logos and colours, with subtle changes to appear legitimate.
We are aware of cases where individuals have unknowingly engaged with these fraudulent accounts and are working with authorities to address each instance. Monex is committed to raising awareness of these scams to help protect individuals and organisations from impersonators. To help protect you against these scams, we've outlined common warning signs that could indicate you're dealing with fraudsters impersonating the Monex group.

Spear phishing is a sophisticated type of phishing in which attackers tailor messages to specific individuals or organisations to steal sensitive information such as login credentials, financial data, or personal details. Once fraudsters gain your confidence, they may impersonate Monex employees and request transactions, which could lead to significant financial losses if funds are transferred to their account.
If you receive a communication from someone you believe is not a true Monex representative, these warning signs could indicate a potential scam:
Phone calls claiming to be from Monex's "crypto division," encouraging you to invest funds in a trade promising high returns.
Emails pretending to be from customer support, asking you to verify account details.
Messages reporting suspicious activity on your account, requesting immediate action.
Invoices or payment requests that appear to be from Monex's accounts department.
If you receive an unexpected email, especially one requesting sensitive information, contact us directly through official channels. Avoid replying to the email.
Scammers can mimic legitimate phone numbers on incoming calls. If unsure, end the call and phone back via the numbers listed on our official websites.

Monex Europe Markets S.V., S.A.U. is authorised and supervised by the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) as an investment firm (official register number 321). In the wider group, Monex Europe Limited and Monex Europe Markets Limited are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom. Together, these authorisations mean that activities offered through this website are carried out by regulated entities within an established financial group, subject to oversight by the relevant UK, Spanish and, where applicable, Dutch regulators.
The website monexeurope.eu is the European online presence of the Monex group. It is the primary information and services platform for clients of Monex Europa S.L. (MESL) and Monex Europe Markets S.V., S.A.U. (MEMSV) in the European Economic Area. Monex Europa S.L. provides payment services and international transfers as a Bank of Spain-authorised payment institution (registration number 6936). Monex Europe Markets S.V., S.A.U. provides investment services in foreign-exchange instruments as a CNMV-authorised investment firm (official register number 321). Both entities form part of the international division of Monex S.A.P.I. de C.V., a Mexican financial institution with an investment-grade credit profile. In practice, when this website refers to "Monex Europe" in a European context, it refers to the regulated activities of MESL and MEMSV.
Within the European Union, services promoted on this website are provided by Monex Europa S.L., authorised and supervised by the Bank of Spain as a payment institution (registration number 6936), and Monex Europe Markets S.V., S.A.U., authorised and supervised by the CNMV as an investment firm (official register number 321). These entities may operate cross-border or through branches in other EEA jurisdictions, including the Netherlands, under the applicable EU framework and local supervisory arrangements.

Monex Europe operates through regulated institutions in different jurisdictions. Client funds handled by these entities are subject to strict safeguarding and client-asset-protection rules. For payment services, Monex Europa S.L. is required by regulation to hold client money in segregated accounts at carefully selected banks, separate from its own corporate funds. For investment services, Monex Europe Markets S.V., S.A.U. must hold and record client money and financial instruments in accordance with applicable investment-firm rules on custody, segregation and client-asset protection. These arrangements are designed so that, in the unlikely event of the insolvency of a Monex entity, safeguarded client funds and client assets remain protected from claims by general creditors, in line with regulatory requirements.
Monex Europe operates through regulated entities located in key financial centres. In Europe, Monex Europa S.L. and Monex Europe Markets S.V., S.A.U. are headquartered in Madrid and maintain an operational presence in Amsterdam through registered branches. In the United Kingdom, Monex Europe Limited and Monex Europe Markets Limited are based in London. Across these locations, Monex Europe serves corporate, institutional and other professional clients with foreign-exchange and international-payment services. The group does not offer retail speculative trading. This multi-centre presence allows Monex Europe to combine local regulatory oversight with region-wide coverage for European and UK-based clients.
