Shellnovatrade on the FCA Warning List: What to Check Before You Trade

On 8 October 2026 the FCA placed Shellnovatrade on its Warning List as a firm without authorisation. The entry records an email address and an office address in Miami, and no telephone number.

The FCA's record

Shellnovatrade, the FCA states, is not authorised and may be targeting people in the UK.

The entry lists the website shellnovatrade.com, the email address support@shellnovatrade.com and an address at 1200 Brickell Avenue, Suite 850, Florida, in the United States. No telephone number is given.

What the absence of authorisation means

A client of an unauthorised firm has no access to the Financial Ombudsman Service and no claim on the Financial Services Compensation Scheme if money is lost.

Where a bank transfer to a fraudster was made on or after 7 October 2024, the Payment Systems Regulator's rules may allow the paying bank to reimburse the loss, and the claim should be made to that bank without delay.

The name presents the firm as a trading service, and the only address on record is in the United States. A firm offering trading to people in the UK must be authorised by the FCA, must limit trading with borrowed money on CFDs, and must prevent a client losing more than the money in the account. A platform that offers no telephone number and no UK address should be traced to its own entry on the FCA Register, and the receiving account confirmed through Confirmation of Payee, before any deposit is made.
