What the regulator published
Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (CH) listed advantage-office.com on 22 October 2026 as a firm that is not authorised to offer financial services. Website given by the regulator: www.advantage-office.com.
A regulator puts a firm on its warning list when it offers financial services without the authorisation it needs there. Customers of a firm like this usually cannot use the protections that come with authorised firms, such as the ombudsman or a compensation scheme.
