Risk Statement
Trading of cryptocurrencies has potential rewards and risks involved. Trading is not suitable for all people. Anyone wishing to invest should seek their own independent professional financial advice.
Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all your money invested. Crypto assets are a high-risk investment. You could lose all the money you invest and are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong. You should think carefully about whether dealing in crypto assets is suitable for you considering your financial situation and risk appetite.
We do not advise on dealing in crypto assets. So long as we act in good faith, we are not responsible for any of the risks described below. Please read the below carefully and contact us if you have any questions. Please note that we cannot provide tax or financial advice in relation to our services.
Liquidity source
We rely on third-party liquidity source to complete transactions, so if we can’t find an liquidity source to complete a transaction, this may delay or prevent it. As liquidity source apply their live rate at the time they are instructed, the rate we display via the Freebnk app IS NOT GUARANTEED to be the same as the rate you receive. These risks are greater if there is a surge of trading activity.
Although we try to deal with reliable liquidity source, there are still risks in using them. For example, they may be hacked, have a vulnerability or virus, undergo maintenance, face solvency issues, be the subject of fraud, or be negligent.
The value of crypto assets has historically been volatile and can experience large value decreases, for example if there are sudden losses of confidence by market participants. Crypto asset markets are underdeveloped, and there is a risk of market abuse, market manipulation, or a sudden lack of liquidity. You may also lack full and complete information on which to make investment decisions when dealing in crypto assets through Freebnk.
Please understand that apart from the mentioned risks, there might be additional risks associated with investing in crypto assets, some of which may emerge in the future. Each crypto asset has its own unique characteristics that can affect its level of risk, and it’s crucial for you to comprehend these features before investing. Remember, the previous performance of a crypto asset doesn’t predict how it will perform in the future.
You might have to pay taxes on any profits gained from investing in crypto assets if you exceed your annual allowances. Additionally, you might be required to pay income tax on interest payments earned from FreeBnk. For clarity on your tax situation concerning crypto assets, it’s advisable to seek guidance from a tax professional. It’s your responsibility to report any income or gains, even if we provide information about potential income and gains through our services
