Verdict up front: CB Trust (cbtrust.net) is on the Swiss regulator FINMA’s warning list as an unauthorised provider. It runs a live trading front-end but discloses no licence. Treat it as high-risk and do not fund an account.
Verified evidence (checked 25 August 2026)
- Regulator warning: cbtrust.net appears on the Swiss FINMA warning list of unauthorised entities, corroborated by two German law-firm advisories citing the FINMA warning.
- Domain age: registered 23 September 2025 (PublicDomainRegistry) — under a year old, contradicting any “established broker” impression.
- Site status: live trading site with no licence number or regulator named, and search indexing suppressed (noindex). Sources: FINMA warning list; Verisign RDAP (cbtrust.net).

What is CB Trust?
CB Trust markets itself as a “trusted global trading platform” for forex, stocks, commodities and indices. But it holds no visible authorisation, its domain is barely a year old, and Switzerland’s FINMA has flagged it. That combination — polished front, no licence, regulator warning — is the classic profile of an unauthorised broker.
