Alpen Trade LTD says it “is authorized and regulated under the European Financial Security with reference number 741582”. There is no regulator by that name. On 10 September 2026 the Ontario Securities Commission in Canada warned investors about Alpen Trade Ltd. and alpentradingltd.com.
The plans
The Starter account costs $250 and promises “Profit from 10%/month” on currency pairs, with “Insurance of the paid-in capital – no”. Ten percent a month compounds to more than 200% a year. A real broker cannot promise any profit at all, let alone a monthly minimum. The site also lists a London phone number, +44 20 6529 9631, while the OSC warning is about soliciting Canadians.

What to do next
Do not pay any fee to release a balance. Save your account screens, deposits and chats. Report card and bank payments to your bank, record crypto wallet addresses, and file a report with your local regulator or police.
A made-up regulator and a promised monthly profit are two warnings in one. If Alpen Trade holds your money, contact Ettran.
