APRIL 01, 2025
The Malta Financial Services Authority (“MFSA” or “the Authority”) has become aware of an entity by the name of Trive Financial Services Malta Limited, German Branch which has an internet presence at https://triveinvest.de. This website is using the details of an MFSA licenced company Trive Financial Services Europe Ltd and of its authorised German branch, Trive Financial Services Germany Branch. Fraudsters are using the details, address and website contents of this genuine company in an effort to deceive the public.The Authority would like to inform the public that Trive Financial Services Malta Limited, German Branch is NOT a Maltese registered company NOR is it authorised to provide any financial services in or from Malta. Additionally, https://triveinvest.de has NO association with Trive Financial Services Europe Ltd.
The website https://triveinvest.de therefore appears to be a clone of the website of the legitimate entity and the public should therefore refrain from entering into any transactions or otherwise dealing with the false entity on any matters falling within the parameters of the Investment Services Act, Chapter 370 of the Laws of Malta.

Read the source in its own terms
The source record includes a clone or impersonation qualifier. The notice concerns the exact identity and contact details described by the authority. It must not be transferred to a legitimate business whose name or details may have been copied.
Compare the exact identity
The recorded address is https://triveinvest.de. Compare the complete domain, path or profile against the service you actually used. A trading name alone may not establish the same entity. Retain the original communications, platform terms and payment records that identify your counterparty.
Dates and current status
Source registration, validation and modification dates are reproduced where available. They are distinct from this website’s actual release date and may differ from the original warning date. Historical information may change. Consult the linked authority for its current position.
Issues for legal review
The source notice is background to a legal assessment, not a decision on a reader’s individual claim. The relevant questions include the identity of the contracting or communicating party, the representations made, the payment history, the applicable terms and the forum in which a dispute could be addressed. The evidence must be assessed against the actual legal issue and any relevant deadline.
Report the matter to the firm
If your experience concerns the identity described in this notice, tell CRYPTOS LAWYERS what happened and provide the exact platform details, approximate dates and the parties involved. The firm will review whether it can assist, including conflict, jurisdiction and scope checks. A written engagement is required before representation begins.
Where a legal assessment requires transaction analysis, an independent technical investigator or recovery company may be instructed or referred privately on agreed terms. Counsel reviews the resulting report and assesses the appropriate lawful legal steps. A technical report or complaint filing does not itself authorize an asset restriction or establish an entitlement to payment.
