Is Financely Group A Scam?

Is Financely Group A Scam?

No. Financely Group is a boutique trade finance and project finance advisory firm. We underwrite, structure, and place financing with third-party banks and capital providers. We do not lend, take deposits, or issue bank instruments in our own name.

Fast verification: If anyone asks you to send money to payment details not published on our website, treat it as unauthorized. Use only the payment coordinates and crypto wallets listed on our official Payment Coordinates page and review our Phishing & Security guidance.

What We Do (In Plain Terms)

We turn messy deal information into a lender-ready file, then run a controlled outreach process to secure written outcomes. If you want the step-by-step process, read How Our Platform Works. If you want to start, use our Deal Submission page.

  • Underwriting: We review documents, counterparties, collateral, and repayment sources.
  • Structuring: We tighten the deal mechanics: eligibility, reserves, controls, covenants, and conditions precedent.
  • Placement: We introduce the opportunity to matched third-party banks and funds and manage Q&A until there is a written term sheet or a written decline.

How To Verify You Are Dealing With The Real Financely

Impersonation happens in cross-border finance. We keep verification simple and measurable. You can also read our Fraudulent Activity Warning and Reviews & Compliance page.

Check What “Good” Looks Like
Official process Engagements start via Deal Submission and proceed through our secure client portal after onboarding.
Payment instructions Only pay using details listed on Payment Coordinates. No exceptions. No last-minute changes sent over chat apps.
Crypto settlement (sometimes) We can accept crypto in some cases, but only to the corporate wallets explicitly published on our Payment Coordinates page. If the wallet is not on that page, it is not ours.
No “agents” collecting fees We do not authorize random intermediaries to collect fees to personal accounts. If you are unsure, follow the steps in Phishing & Security before you send documents or money.

Our Role When Regulated Execution Is Required

Some transactions require regulated intermediaries (for example, when a broker-dealer is required for execution). In those cases, we coordinate with appropriately licensed counterparties. The regulated intermediary handles the regulated components within their approvals and controls, including onboarding, compliance checks, and any required books and records.

Fee Structure And What The Retainer Pays For

Professional underwriting is not a one-call exercise. Retainers fund real work and third-party costs so the file reaches a decision-ready standard.

  • Deal packaging, underwriting memo, and lender pack preparation
  • KYC, AML, and sanctions screening workflow coordination
  • Third-party reports where required (legal, valuation, technical, insurance, trustee or collateral controls)
  • Lender matching, structured submissions, Q&A management, and term sheet comparison

Initial retainer fees commonly range from USD 50,000 to 200,000 depending on complexity, jurisdiction, and the work required. Retainers do not guarantee funding. They pay for underwriting and execution work that must happen before any credible capital provider can take a position.

Why Deals Fail (And Why That Does Not Mean Fraud)

Not every mandate closes. Deals often fail for straightforward reasons that show up during diligence.

Example 1: A sponsor presents a large trade flow but cannot evidence end-buyer purchase orders, performance history, or clean payment terms. The file cannot be underwritten to bankable standards.

Example 2: A project sponsor indicates equity support, then cannot evidence source of funds or beneficial ownership. Compliance stops the process.

Example 3: A borrower requests aggressive leverage, unclear collateral controls, or unrealistic timelines. Lenders decline once conditions precedent are reviewed.

Selectivity And Who We Serve

We limit the number of mandates we run at any time. That protects execution quality and protects lender relationships. We prioritize clients who can move quickly, produce documents, and support a credible underwriting narrative.

Ideal Clients Not A Fit
Post-revenue companies with meaningful operating history (often EBITDA above USD 10M) Pre-revenue ventures with no track record or incomplete documentation
Clear transaction documents: contracts, counterparties, and defined use of proceeds Unverifiable claims, missing counterparties, or shifting deal terms
Transparent ownership and source of funds Refusal to provide KYC, UBO data, or source of funds evidence
Typical requested sizes in the USD 5M to 100M range Ambiguous requests with no credible path to underwriting approval

FAQ

Do you lend money or issue SBLCs, bank guarantees, or letters of credit directly?

No. We are an advisory and placement firm. Instruments and facilities, when available, are provided by third-party banks or capital providers under their credit approvals and documentation.

How do I verify the correct payment details before sending a retainer?

Use only the details and wallets on our official Payment Coordinates page. If someone sends different instructions by email, chat, or WhatsApp, do not pay.

Do you accept crypto payments?

Sometimes, yes. Crypto is accepted only in cases where we have explicitly confirmed it and only to the corporate wallets published on our Payment Coordinates page. We do not accept payments to private or unpublished wallets.

What does the retainer cover if funding is not guaranteed?

The retainer pays for underwriting, structuring, packaging, third-party coordination (where required), and the placement process: submissions, lender Q&A, and term sheet comparisons. It is professional services work, not a funding guarantee.

What is your process from start to term sheets?

Start with Deal Submission. Then follow the steps on How Our Platform Works : intake, underwriting, lender-ready packaging, matched outreach, Q&A, and written outcomes.

Where can I read your policies and compliance standards?

Key references include our Privacy Policy , Refund Policy , Terms of Service , AML Policy , and Disclaimer. For security guidance, see Phishing & Security.

What should I do if I see misinformation or someone impersonating Financely?

Follow the steps on Fraudulent Activity Warning and Phishing & Security. Do not share documents or send payments until you have verified official channels.

Disclaimer: Financely Group acts as arranger at the outset and otherwise as advisor and capital placement provider. All mandates are best-efforts and subject to KYC, AML, sanctions screening, and third-party lender approvals. Fees, timelines, and outcomes depend on transaction complexity, jurisdiction, documentation quality, and counterparty risk. Nothing on this page is an offer, solicitation, or commitment to provide funding.
