agifinanz.com Scam: Fake High-Interest Deposits

This time the promise is not forex or crypto: agifinanz.com looks like an intermediary that says it finds term and demand deposits with "above-market interest" in European banks. On 29 October 2026, FINMA put the site on its warning list as an unauthorised operation imitating the name of the real Agi Finance SA in Geneva.

In short: agifinanz.com and its look-alike twin aqifinanz.com, created by swapping a letter, are not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK). It is a clone site collecting money with the promise of high interest; claiming back the amounts sent is legally possible.

🏦 The Promise of High-Interest Deposits

The site claims to combine the security of traditional banks with the high interest of "neo-banks", to compare the best term deposit offers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and to provide deposit protection. In this scheme, the investor is asked to send money to an intermediary account for a "bank account opening"; the so-called deposit account and interest table exist only on the site's panel.

🎭 The Agi Finance SA Name and the "g/q" Trick

According to the FINMA entry, the site is not connected with Agi Finance SA, Geneva, which is entered in the Swiss commercial register; the real company has nothing to do with this scheme. The warning text also mentions the address aqifinanz.com, in which the letter "q" is used in place of "g". The display of a Geneva address and a Swiss-numbered telephone line on the site is meant to gain trust by pointing to the register entry. The domain agifinanz.com was obtained in April 2026.

No. FINMA has clearly stated that the registered Agi Finance SA has no connection with these sites; the company's name is being misused.

Are agifinanz.com and aqifinanz.com different sites?

They are two domains opened with a one-letter difference, and FINMA mentions them in the same warning entry.

Does the promise of deposit protection provide any protection?

No. Because the money is not placed in a deposit account at a real bank, no protection scheme applies; the site is also not authorised by SPK (SPK authorised institutions).
