DirectValue (directvalue.io) offers forex, crypto, stocks, commodities and indices in “one account, one login” with tiers from Basic to VIP. On 6 November 2026 the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets, the AFM, named it as an unauthorised operator.
Everything under one login
Promising every market from a single account sounds convenient, but offering these products to the public needs a licence. DirectValue shows none and claims “funds return to their source” as reassurance. Reassuring words are not protection. The AFM warning is the fact that counts.

A familiar template
DirectValue shares its layout and wording with other sites flagged the same day, a sign of a template rolled out under several names. When one draws warnings, the operators move to the next. A domain only weeks old fits that pattern.
If you deposited with DirectValue
Stop funding it, keep your records, and report it to your bank and to Ettran so it is documented.
