Today (today.gmbh) describes itself as a European brokerage company founded "with the support of the American investment holding Capital Today", with offices in New York and Frankfurt and partner offices across CIS countries. The site offers stocks, ETFs, forex, cryptocurrencies and CFDs, a mobile app with "AI-supported analytics", zero-commission trading on popular stocks and 24/7 support in five languages.
We examined the site, its documents and everything it points to. The picture is clear: no identifiable company stands behind the platform, and its "licence" comes from a fake regulator.
Why it is blacklisted
No legal entity, no licence
The site names no company, registration number or licence. The client agreement and policies are public, but "regulatory information and licences", the site says, are available only in the personal area — that is, after sign-up. A real broker has to show its licence openly.
A fake regulator
The site says it operates "within the EBR (EC, CIS) regulatory framework" and points to "European Brokers Regulation" — the site ebregulation.eu. That site poses as "the independent public supervisory authority regulating brokers within the European Union". No such body exists: in the EU, brokers are licensed by national regulators — BaFin in Germany, CySEC in Cyprus — and the EU-wide authority ESMA does not license brokers.
Two more facts about "EBR":
- as its own address it gives Marie-Curie-Straße 24-28, 60439 Frankfurt am Main — the real address of BaFin's Frankfurt office;
- ebregulation.eu first appeared in the web archive on 16 December 2024 — just four days before today.gmbh (20 December 2024).
An agreement under Marshall Islands law
The client agreement (section 12) puts every dispute under the laws and courts of the Marshall Islands — not Germany or the EU. A client of this "European broker" can in fact defend their rights only in an offshore court on the other side of the world.
A garbled address
The site gives the Tower 185 office building in Frankfurt. Its real address is Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage 35–37, 60327 Frankfurt am Main; the site writes it as "35 – 3760185", the house number and postcode run together. A well-known office tower proves nothing on its own — anyone can quote it without having an office there.
A UK mobile number
The only phone is +44 7520 656215, a British mobile, not a German office line.
Contradictions about its age
In one and the same answer to "How long has this company been in existence?" the site says the firm has operated "for two years" and right after that it has worked with legal entities "for over six years". Yet today.gmbh first appears in the web archive only in December 2024.
"GmbH" is not a German company
.gmbh is a domain ending anyone can buy. It does not mean a limited company registered in Germany, although that is exactly the impression it gives.
Big but unverifiable claims
Client money held with BNY Mellon and Clearstream, the American holding Capital Today, a New York office — nothing on the site backs them up.
Similar platforms already under warnings
About a site of a similar pattern — broker.gmbh, also on a .gmbh domain with a UK phone — Sweden's FI warned in October 2025 that the firm is not authorised and could not even be confirmed to exist.
What to do
- Do not deposit money with this platform.
- Do not trust "licences" the broker itself points to. Check a firm only in the official registers of regulators — in Germany, BaFin's company database.
- If you have already transferred money, keep the correspondence, receipts and statements, ask your bank to reverse the payment (chargeback) and report it to the police and the financial regulator of your country.
- Do not pay "withdrawal fees" or "taxes" demanded before your money is returned, and do not install remote-access software at a "manager's" request.
