Is Euro Deniz IBU Bank legit?

[Stefano3323]

Hello guys,

I got contacted by Euro Deniz IBU bank to offer their services to our clients. I tried to look for some info online and from their website (Home) it doesn't seems to good.

Now, I don't want to be the person who point the finger just because a website is not very good, so I decided to ask for help here.

Does anybody ever used them? Are they legit?

Whatever info you have about them I'm sure it will help as I believe they will start contacting many people online.

Euro Deniz International Banking Unit is a bank in TRNC (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus), which is an unrecognised state formed after Turkey invaded Cyprus in 1974. Since Turkey is the only country to recognise TRNC, it is practically impossible for TRNC to function as anything other than a Turkish puppet state. Banks there all piggyback on Turkish banks.

The TRNC Central Bank has a register of licensed offshore/IBU banks here: Uluslararası Bankacılık Birimleri | KKTC Merkez Bankası

However, the URL you have provided does not seem to be operated by Euro Deniz IBU. It looks like someone saw that Euro Deniz IBU doesn't have a website and registered the domain to run an unauthorised website. Deniz Bank probably offers its TRNC services through its regular website.

Also, unless you are very wealthy or the CFO of a large corporation, banks practically never contact you first. It is a huge red flag when a bank reaches out directly to someone other than that.

Yeah, thought something was not right. Thank you for the help. I guess it can be of help for anybody receiving those type of information with that specific URL.

Same thing, we've got their email few days ago. There's no trace/reviewe/feedback about this bank. It's not on the list of licensed or liquidated banks of TRNC. There's no legal info on the website, no team. The website is registered 2 months ago. A company with the same name was registered in the UK 1 month ago. All names/profiles in email/Linkedin are fakes. Call center number from their website is a cellphone. And so on..

It is not scamming, it is about "creating a corporate image"

Judging Denizbank and Fortressbank by the buildings they are located in, both look like small family enterprises where the owner lives in the same building, and has his garage there too. Fortressbank looks slightly more professional than Deniz, but we're at the bottom of the barrel here.

Still, some people with special needs might benefit from their services. The main benefit is being located in a country that can't sign any international treaties even if they wanted to.

if trnc is not reconised that means there is no exchange of information am i right?

What about Mondial Private Bank? Is it similar to what you describe?
