Spain’s financial markets regulator, CNMV, has warned of Forex broker UproFx. According to the official notice on CNMV’s website, this entity is not registered in the corresponding registry of the commission and, therefore, are not authorized to provide investment services.

The National Securities Market Commission (often abbreviated as CNMV) is the Spanish government agency responsible for the financial regulation of the securities markets in Spain. It is an independent agency that falls under the Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Competitiveness.

UproFX is a Forex and CFDs brokerage. According to the website, UproFx is owned by Yield Enterprise Currency Software OÜ (company number: 14484668), Tallinn, Estonia and operated from Riga, Latvia. The government of Estonia allows forex trading within the country for those brokers authorized by the local regulator Financial Supervision Authority. However, we didn't find any mention of UproFX or  Yield Enterprise Currency Software OÜ in regulator's register.

To add up, we have found numerous negative reviews from UproFX customers on the net. People state that they cannot get their money back and the company refuses to provide any kind of help.
