The Financial Services Regulatory Commission (FSRC) of Antigua and Barbuda is warning the public that “Digital Cryptocurrency Bank” (also trading as DCB) is not licensed to operate in or from the country.
According to the FSRC, DCB has never been incorporated under Antigua and Barbuda’s International Business Corporation Act, nor has it been granted a license under the International Banking Act to conduct international banking.
The unlicensed entity lists its website as https://dcb-banking.com, with contact emails at [email protected], and phone numbers +1 (680) 226-7970 and +1 (680) 227-2799 for customer and wire transfer support.
“All statements or representations by DCB claiming lawful registration or licensing by the FSRC to operate in any jurisdiction are false,” the Commission stated.
A list of licensed international banks in Antigua and Barbuda is available at www.fsrc.gov.ag.
This is a serious matter that not only puts we the citizens at risk but also undermines the credibility of Antigua and Barbuda’s financial sector. I hope the FSRC is working to shut down this operation swiftly.
Glad FSRC put this out. Some folks really believe anything with ‘bank’ or ‘crypto’ in the name.
Too many of our people getting caught up in these fake crypto schemes. Sad.
I won’t be surprised if these people actually got a license. Paul Ashe does whatever he wants at that place. Its his playhouse. The great mystey however is why he seem so unstoppable and indispensable? I said what I said .
Another crypto scammer? Be careful people a lot of desperate people out there
So what exactly is the issue? This company is claiming to be registered in Antigua but operating illegally because it was never granted a license? So these people are mad? To just set up this company without any Greenlight from the government? In antigua all kinds od shady dealings are happening. I believe FSRC is quite aware of the situation. If not entirely…someone gave them authority.
I support Ben. The real issue in our country is that the government wants to control every sector of the economy. Making such claims against a legitimate and independent financial institution like DCB is a shame. Instead of trying to control where people put their money, the government should focus on creating an environment that allows our country to grow stronger and better.
I Must say , they have used A Bank Name , It s criminal to lured peoples and bring them as Victim of a Scam , Now since the FSRC Knows the issues , They can be sanctioned , Shut down and be responsible for the damage they have made . It terrible to see this kind of act in 2025
