Venra Bank (venra.org) invites visitors to log in to “global accounts” and track “high-yield savings”. On 6 November 2026 the Malta Financial Services Authority named it as a firm operating without authorisation.

High-yield is the bait
A site that leads with high-yield savings and calls itself a bank, yet names no regulator, is selling trust it has not earned. The Malta FSA warning means it is not licensed to take deposits. Money sent to an unlicensed bank has no protection behind it.

Do not send more, and do not pay any fee to withdraw. Keep your login, statements and transfer records, tell your own bank, and file a complaint with ReclaimDC at support@reclaimdc.com.
What that login is really for
A polished login and an apply here button make a site feel like a real bank branch online. In practice the form collects your details and, once you deposit, shows a balance the operators fully control. Because the firm is unlicensed, there is no ombudsman to appeal to and no compensation scheme if the money vanishes. The safest move is to treat any deposit request as the point of no return and stop there.
If you are weighing a first deposit, pause and search the Malta FSA site and the FCA register for the name. A real bank wants you to verify it. A site that offers only a login and an apply button, with nothing to check, is telling you what it is by what it leaves out.
