Tortola, British Virgin Islands – 14 December, 2012 – The British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (the “FSC”) has been made aware that a BVI business company called BCF International Capital S.A., which is known to be trading or operating as BCF Bankorp International Capital S.A., as BCF Bankorp, as BCF Banker Plus, and as BCF Consulting, has been offering private equity, venture capital, lending and corporate finance services whilst purporting to be licensed and regulated in the British Virgin Islands. 

As a result of the FSC’s enquiries, it would appear that this BVI business company uses the aforementioned company and trading or operating names, and is offering its financial services through two websites located at www.bcfbankorp.com and www.bcfbankerplus.com. 

The BVI business company known as BCF International Capital S.A., and trading or operating as BCF Bankorp International Capital S.A., as BCF Bankorp, as BCF Banker Plus, and as BCF Consulting has never been licensed by the FSC to carry on financial services business in or from within the Territory. 

Members of the public are therefore advised to exercise extreme caution if solicited at any time by this entity under any of its aforementioned company and trading names.   

The public is invited to provide the FSC with any relevant information on this, and any other questionable entities that are purportedly operating in or from within the Territory.

The FSC is issuing this Advisory Warning under Section 4(1)(l) of the Financial Services Commission Act, 2001.
