About Bitwest
Bitwest (operating via the domain bitwest-group.pro) is not authorised by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The FCA issued a warning (first published 19 May 2023; last updated 25 January 2024) stating Bitwest “may be providing or promoting financial services or products without our permission” and advising consumers to avoid dealing with it. As a result, clients would not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service or protection under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
Bitwest fails to disclose any regulatory licences, company registration details, physical address, or management information. It appears to be domiciled or operating under Saint Vincent and the Grenadines without evidence of authorisation from any local authority. Several contact phones and email addresses are associated solely with the entity in the FCA warning.

- No regulatory oversight and unauthorised status under FCA rules, posing severe legal and financial risks to clients.
- Lack of transparency regarding ownership, registration, and operational infrastructure, including absence of regulatory licence details or company headquarters.
