Century Financial Scam Warning: Unlicensed Stock and CFD Offer

Century Financial is an investment company presented as Dubai-based, announcing that it intermediates in stocks, commodities and CFD products. Although the image of the Gulf as a financial centre may look attractive to Turkish investors, the authority to collect money or act as an intermediary in Türkiye arises only with SPK permission.
⚖️ The Licence Claim and the Position in Türkiye
Under the domain century.ae, the company states that it holds a regulatory licence in the United Arab Emirates. That permission is not valid for investment services in Türkiye; the company does not appear on the SPK list of authorised intermediary institutions. The name was picked up in broker directories in March 2026. The Century Investment platformsTR covered on our site are different operations with a similar name.
🚩 What the Dubai Address Means for the Investor
In offers of this kind, the phrase “a company licensed in Dubai” is often presented as the only proof of trustworthiness. Yet leveraged trading intermediation aimed at a person in Türkiye counts as unauthorised activity under SPK Decision No. 8/297. Turkish-speaking representatives who use the brand's name also need to be checked separately; a request for payment to a private individual's or a crypto account is a typical warning sign.
