Germany's financial regulator BaFin published a warning dated 11 November 2026 about the websites hanseanlage.com and hanseartesep.com, and about emails sent from these domains. BaFin says the operators offer overnight and fixed-term deposits and loans without the required permission. In the site imprint they also use the company data of Hanseartes ep Anlageverwaltung GmbH & Co. KG and Hanseartes ep Management GmbH, which BaFin describes as identity misuse. BaFin says information on whether a company is authorised can be checked in its company database, and that the warning is based on section 37(4) of the German Banking Act (KWG).
Unlicensed investment, deposit and loan websites, and emails that misuse a real bank's name, are designed to look like ordinary financial products. Once money is sent, it is often moved quickly and is difficult to recover. BaFin's warning means the named site or sender is not authorised to offer those services in Germany. A UK or other company number, a professional looking site or a familiar bank brand in an email address is not a licence. Check a firm in BaFin's company database, and do not send money, documents or login details in response to this kind of approach.
BaFin says hanseanlage.com and hanseartesep.com, and emails from those domains, offer overnight and fixed-term deposits and loans without permission, and that the imprint misuses the company details of Hanseartes ep Anlageverwaltung GmbH & Co. KG and Hanseartes ep Management GmbH. Those firms were impersonated and are not involved. BaFin issued several other unauthorised-offer warnings on the same day, including lilac-holdings.com, davoripro.com, kapitum.com and emails from @santander-finance-europe.de.
