The List aggregates publicly available information posted by foreign supervisory authorities on entities operating using the Internet that publish information in Polish or provide contact information specific to the territory of the Republic of Poland.
The aggregated information may also specify the time of publication of a warning, if provided by a foreign supervisory authority.
Particular caution is advised in dealing with entities on the List.
In the event of attempts to establish cooperation by such entities or intention to contact such entities, it is reasonable to check in the relevant registers on www.knf.gov.pl whether the entity in question is authorised to conduct licensed activities in the territory of the Republic of Poland. A tool to facilitate such verification is the search engine available at: www.knf.gov.pl/podmioty/wyszukiwarka_podmiotow. If you interact with an entity that is not listed in the above-mentioned registers of the KNF, please forward any information to ozonzgloszenia@knf.gov.pl. The information received will also be used by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (UKNF) to determine whether there is a suspicion of illegal activity in the territory of the Republic of Poland.
IMPORTANT: the UKNF does not examine the legal basis or factual circumstances for the inclusion of an entity on a given list by a foreign authority.
Information within the List is subject to periodic updates. Non-accessibility of websites may be caused, for example, by expiration of website hosting and is beyond the UKNF’s control.. We encourage you to send to fintech@knf.gov.pl any information that may improve the functioning of the List.
