Last week Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), the French financial markets regulatory body, added nine binary options brokers to its list of companies unauthorized to offer investment services to France-based traders.

The new additions to AMF’s warning list can be found on the AMF’s official website. (http://www.amf-france.org/)

In September 2013 AMF published a list of 64 unregulated binary options websites that included 24option.com, euoptions.com, ezbinary.com, and zoneoptions.com. These firms have been removed this time around, bringing the total number of blacklisted companies to 69.

Binary options firms that find their way onto AMF’s warning list include those for which “no authorized investment services provider could be clearly identified”, and companies censured by the French Advertising Ethics Panel for “aggressive” advertising campaigns.
