The Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) publishes and regularly updates several blacklists of sites not authorised to offer financial products in France. The Forex blacklist currently lists more than 400 platforms. The Crypto-assets blacklist lists more than 150. These numbers increase every year.
What a listing on the AMF blacklist means - and what it does not mean - is less straightforward than it appears.
What an AMF blacklist listing means
A listing on the AMF blacklist means the authority has identified a platform as offering financial services in France without authorisation. This listing may result from an investor report, detection by AMF teams, or an alert from another European regulator.
The listing is public, legally significant, and constitutes a serious warning signal. It indicates that the platform is operating outside the French legal framework - without the investor protections that framework provides.

What a blacklist listing does not mean
A blacklist listing does not mean all losses incurred on the platform are recoverable. It does not automatically trigger criminal proceedings. And crucially: the absence of a platform from the blacklist does not mean it is authorised.
The AMF itself states this explicitly: the list cannot be exhaustive. New unauthorised actors appear regularly. A platform can be operational for months, collect significant deposits, and only be listed on the blacklist after the first reports - meaning after investors have already incurred losses.
The structural limit of blacklists for private investors
Blacklists are reactive tools: they document situations already identified as problematic. An independent verification is a proactive tool: it allows signals to be identified before a platform is blacklisted - or before problems have had time to emerge.
These two approaches are complementary. Checking whether a broker appears on the AMF blacklist is a useful and necessary reflex. It is not sufficient to cover the real risk a private investor faces.
