About Validus
Validus, operating through domains such as teamsvalidus.com and validus-team-official.com, offers services as an “online trading university” and promotes Sharia-compliance via Global Islamic Financial Services (GIFS), which is not a regulatory authority and holds no licensing power for financial services ().
The Financial Markets Authority of New Zealand issued warnings on 15 September 2022 and 17 February 2023, stating that Validus was operating without registration as required under the Financial Service Providers (Registration and Dispute Resolution) Act 2008, and advised investors not to engage with entities not licensed in New Zealand ().
Evidence indicates that Validus is not regulated by any recognized financial authority. Repeated offline status of its websites and reports of withdrawal restrictions, suspicious dashboards showing artificial profits, and use of multi-level bonus or matrix schemes, further undermine its credibility ().
Pros and cons
Pros
- Claims to offer Shariah-compliant education and financial products through GIFS, though GIFS is not a regulator ().
Cons
- Not regulated by any official financial authority, despite operating in multiple jurisdictions ().
- Explicit warnings from the New Zealand FMA (15 September 2022 and 17 February 2023) for operating without proper registration ().
- Websites have been inaccessible at times, raising concerns about operational stability or evasive behavior ().
- Reports of fraudulent practices: misleading dashboards, elevated promised returns (e.g., 9% monthly), bonus matrix structures, and withdrawal difficulties ().
