Trading app HFSC – Withholding funds

We recommend caution when dealing with the trading app HFSC and the website www.bitwinne.com 

The FMA has received multiple complaints about New Zealanders being added to groups on the Telegram messaging app and then being recommended the crypto and forex trading app HFSC. This app is linked to the website www.bitwinne.com which claims to be a leading provider of financial advice. 

Bitwinne and HFSC are not registered on the Financial Service Providers Register and neither hold any licenses with the FMA to provide financial services in New Zealand. 

We have also received multiple complaints about HFSC unreasonably withholding client funds and asking for unreasonable fees or taxes. Even if these fees are paid, the investment is not returned.
