Persius AG (persius-ag.com) Exposed: FINMA Says Website Is Not the Real Swiss Company

A Swiss company name, a Swiss address and a genuine-looking registration number can create an immediate impression of legitimacy. In the case of persius-ag.com, however, Switzerland’s financial regulator has issued a warning that cuts directly through that appearance.

On September 18, 2026, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) added persius-ag.com to its warning list. The regulator records Monteggio as an address and states that the operator appearing through the website has no entry in the Swiss Commercial Register.

More importantly, FINMA expressly says that persius-ag.com is not related to the genuine PERSIUS AG in Tresa, which is registered under CHE-186.730.788.

That distinction is critical because persius-ag.com itself displays CHE-186.730.788 and other company information associated with the genuine Swiss business. AssetVault Recovery therefore considers persius-ag.com a scam website presenting serious signs of corporate identity misuse. The genuine PERSIUS AG in Tresa should not be confused with the website identified in the regulatory warning.

FINMA Makes an Unusually Important Distinction

Regulator warnings often identify a website and state that the operator is not authorized or registered. This warning goes further.

The FINMA warning for persius-ag.com specifically separates the website from a genuine Swiss company bearing the same name.

The regulator identifies:

• Website: persius-ag.com
• Address: Monteggio, Switzerland
• Commercial Register status of the warned operator: No entry
• Warning date: September 18, 2026

FINMA then states that the website has no connection with PERSIUS AG, Tresa, CHE-186.730.788.

This means investors must not use the existence of the genuine company as evidence that persius-ag.com belongs to it. FINMA has already made the opposite point explicit.

The Website Displays the Genuine Company’s CHE Number

This is where the case becomes particularly concerning.

On its contact page, persius-ag.com presents itself as Persius AG and publishes:

• Via Boscioro 10, 6998 Monteggio, Switzerland
• An office at Baarerstrasse 63, 6300 Zug, Switzerland
• Company Number: CH-130.3.018.178-2
• VAT Number: CHE-186.730.788
• Date of Incorporation: 24.05.2012

The website also presents individuals under titles including CEO, CFO, Investment Management, Wealth Management, Business Development Manager, Business Consultant and Broker.

The problem is not simply that the website contains Swiss-looking information.

The number CHE-186.730.788 belongs to the genuine PERSIUS AG in Tresa—the very company that FINMA explicitly says is unrelated to persius-ag.com.

The genuine company was incorporated on May 24, 2012. That date also appears on persius-ag.com.

For an investor checking only the company name, CHE number and incorporation date, the website could therefore appear to be backed by a long-established Swiss corporate identity. FINMA’s warning shows why that type of verification is not enough.

A Real Company Number Does Not Authenticate a Website

This case illustrates an important problem in online investment fraud.

Finding a company in an official register does not prove that the website you are communicating with belongs to that company.

A corporate name, address, registration number and incorporation date are generally not secret information. They can be copied from public corporate records and displayed elsewhere.

The more useful verification question is:

Does the registered company itself control this particular domain, email address, telephone number and payment destination?

With persius-ag.com, investors do not have to speculate about whether the domain belongs to the genuine PERSIUS AG. FINMA has expressly stated that it does not.

AssetVault has encountered a similar identity problem in our Swiss Investment Company SA investigation, where regulator evidence was essential for separating a warned website from a genuine Swiss corporate identity.

IOSCO Has Circulated the FINMA Warning

The warning has also entered the international regulator-alert network.

IOSCO I-SCAN lists persius-ag.com, gives the exact URL https://persius-ag.com/, identifies Switzerland’s FINMA as the originating regulator and records September 18, 2026 as the warning date.

This should not be misrepresented as a separate enforcement action by IOSCO. I-SCAN is used to circulate alerts and warnings supplied by participating securities regulators. In this case, the substantive regulatory finding originates with FINMA.

Its international circulation nevertheless makes the warning easier for investors and regulators outside Switzerland to identify.

There Is Another Strange Detail on the Website

AssetVault’s review of persius-ag.com found an additional inconsistency that is separate from FINMA’s findings.

The contact page initially presents Persius AG as a financial business and lists personnel supposedly responsible for investment management, wealth management and brokerage.

But farther down the same page, the footer suddenly describes the business as “Real Estate” and says it is a trusted name in the real-estate industry.

It then invites visitors to search for homes and properties.

The footer also displays another address—Feldpark 2, 6300 Zug, Switzerland—along with generic-looking contact information that does not match the principal Persius AG contact details displayed higher on the page.

This does not appear in FINMA’s warning and should not be attributed to the regulator. It is an inconsistency visible on the website itself.

It may indicate reused or incompletely replaced website material. Whatever the explanation, it adds another reason not to accept the site’s corporate presentation at face value.

Do Not Confuse the Genuine PERSIUS AG With persius-ag.com

This distinction needs to remain clear.

There is a genuine Swiss company named PERSIUS AG, registered in Tresa under CHE-186.730.788.

FINMA is not saying that this genuine registered company operates persius-ag.com.

It is saying precisely the opposite.

Accordingly, complaints, allegations or transactions involving persius-ag.com should not automatically be attributed to the legitimate PERSIUS AG merely because its corporate information appears on the website.

The same principle mattered in AssetVault’s AVCS Systemgroup Securities investigation, where separating the online operation from genuine corporate information was essential to understanding the risk.

If You Have Already Sent Money, Follow the Payment Trail

For victims, the next step is not to spend hours trying to reconcile every name displayed on the website.

Start with the money you actually sent.

If you paid by bank transfer, preserve the complete transfer confirmation, beneficiary name, account number or IBAN, SWIFT/BIC information, bank name, payment reference, date and amount.

If cryptocurrency was used, preserve:

• Transaction hashes or TXIDs
• Receiving wallet addresses
• Blockchain network used
• Cryptocurrency and amount transferred
• Exchange withdrawal records
• Dates and timestamps

Do not rely solely on a balance shown inside an investment dashboard. A number displayed on a website does not independently establish that equivalent assets are being held for you.

This evidence-first approach was also important in our GoldPrideHoldings investigation, where transaction records provided a more useful starting point than representations made inside the investment environment.

Preserve How You Were Contacted

Save the entire communication history before access disappears.

That includes emails, WhatsApp conversations, Telegram messages, SMS records, telephone numbers, voice messages, PDF contracts, account statements and screenshots.

Do not edit screenshots if the original material is still available. Keep dates, URLs and account details visible wherever possible.

If someone representing persius-ag.com sent you banking instructions or a cryptocurrency wallet address, preserve the original message containing those instructions. It can help connect the communication trail with the financial trail.

We emphasized the same principle in our Vaulterro investigation: the identity claimed on a website matters less during tracing than independently verifiable evidence showing where the victim’s funds actually went.

Be Extremely Careful With Further Payment Demands

If you have requested a withdrawal and are now being told that another payment must be made first, stop and document the demand before sending anything further.

Common explanations in investment scams can include alleged:

• Withdrawal fees
• Taxes
• AML or compliance charges
• Wallet activation fees
• Blockchain release fees
• Insurance payments
• Liquidity charges
• Account verification payments

A professional-looking invoice or document does not make such a demand genuine.

Preserve the document, the sender’s email address, the requested amount and—most importantly—the bank account or wallet where you were instructed to pay.

That recipient information can be more valuable to an investigation than the explanation used to justify the fee.

Watch for the Second Scam

People who lose money through investment fraud can later be approached by supposed investigators, lawyers, blockchain agents or recovery companies claiming that the missing funds have already been located.

Be suspicious if someone unexpectedly contacts you and demands an upfront payment for tax, wallet unlocking, blockchain authorization or release of recovered cryptocurrency.

Do not provide seed phrases, private keys or remote access to your device.

Our Halviro Qespuno investigation similarly highlights why surface-level credibility signals should never replace independent verification.

AssetVault’s Assessment of persius-ag.com

The central issue here is unusually clear.

The website presents itself using the name Persius AG, displays CHE-186.730.788 and gives May 24, 2012 as its incorporation date.

But FINMA expressly states that persius-ag.com is not related to the registered PERSIUS AG in Tresa, CHE-186.730.788. FINMA also records no Swiss Commercial Register entry for the operator associated with the warned website.

The warning has subsequently been circulated through IOSCO I-SCAN.

Combined with the website’s use of corporate information belonging to the genuine company and its internally inconsistent financial/real-estate presentation, AssetVault considers persius-ag.com a scam website that investors should avoid.

The genuine PERSIUS AG in Tresa should not be blamed for or confused with activity conducted through the warned domain unless independent evidence establishes otherwise.
