The Central Bank of Ireland has issued a public warning against Trust Line Fund, an unauthorised firm operating a retail credit business without regulatory approval. The firm, which operates the website https://trustlinefund.eu/, is not licensed to provide retail credit services in Ireland and poses potential risks to consumers seeking financial products in the jurisdiction.

  • Firm Name: Trust Line Fund
  • Website: https://trustlinefund.eu/
  • Authorisation Status: Not authorised to provide retail credit services in Ireland
  • Legal Basis: Published under section 53 of the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act 2013

The Central Bank of Ireland maintains an official register of authorised financial firms and regularly publishes warnings about unauthorised entities operating within Irish financial markets. Trust Line Fund’s inclusion on the central bank’s warning list signals that the firm operates outside regulatory oversight and may not comply with consumer protection standards or capital requirements mandated by Irish financial law.

The central bank has provided contact information for consumers and financial professionals who wish to report information about unauthorised firms or suspected financial scams. Individuals may telephone the Central Bank at (01) 224 5800 or report unauthorised activity directly through official channels. The regulator also directs the public to its dedicated financial scams resource centre for guidance on identifying and avoiding fraudulent schemes.

Consumers considering retail credit products should verify a firm’s authorisation status through the Central Bank’s official registry before making any financial transactions or providing personal information.
