On 19 February 2026, the Norwegian financial regulator Finanstilsynet warned about four websites that call themselves banks and offer payment services and loans: Saptrust Bank, instant Bank, banksured Bank and WATTPROSAVER Bank. What the regulator found: none of them is authorised to provide such services; the websites do not say which company is behind them and give no registration number; they are not in the Norwegian business registers; and according to the Norwegian Mapping Authority, the Norwegian addresses they give do not exist. Only generic email addresses are given for contact. In Finanstilsynet's assessment, these "banks" are almost certainly not real and were set up to deceive people. This kind of scheme usually works like this: a person is promised a loan or an attractive account and is then asked to pay for "insurance", a "fee" or a "check" — and then the scammers disappear. How to check a bank: a real bank is listed in the official register of its country's regulator, and its legal entity, registration number and real address are stated. Free addresses such as *.web.app or *.firebaseapp.com are a serious warning sign.
