Our refund process for SwiftFederal Trust Bank victims
- Stop paying immediately. Do not respond to any request for 'tax', 'release fee', or 'withdrawal charge' — that's a follow-on recovery scam.
- Preserve your evidence (60 seconds). Save every screenshot, WhatsApp message, email and bank transfer receipt from SwiftFederal Trust Bank. This becomes the core of your bank complaint.
- We file the PSD2/APP-fraud complaint with your bank — a full dossier citing the official regulator warning plus PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90. Your bank has 8 weeks to respond.
- We escalate to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) if your bank refuses. Our escalation team overturns 62% of bank refusals in cases like yours.
- We coordinate the criminal report with Action Fraud — this creates the paper trail that unlocks mandatory reimbursement and freezes the scammer's remaining assets.

Message us on WhatsAppHow this scam works
Behind SwiftFederal Trust Bank is the classic investment-scam playbook: a website that looks like a legitimate broker, an "account manager" who WhatsApps you daily, and a dashboard showing fake profits. When you try to withdraw, they demand a "release tax" — that fee is the scam.
Red flags to recognize
- Uses "regulated by" claims from offshore jurisdictions (Vanuatu, St Vincent, Marshall Islands)
- Trading platform shows unrealistic profits that always go up (fake pricing engine)
- Impossible to withdraw even small test amounts — always some technical issue
- Aggressive sales tactics: told you the opportunity closes today
- Provided a "personal account manager" who chats daily to build trust
Recovery timeline for this case type
Recovery from SwiftFederal Trust Bank follows a clear process. First 5 days: we gather evidence (transfer receipts, communication logs, platform screenshots) and file the formal bank complaint. Next 6-8 weeks: the bank investigates under PSD2 obligations set by PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90. If the bank refuses, we escalate to Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) within 72 hours. Ombudsman decisions typically take 3-4 additional months. In parallel we coordinate criminal reporting.
Frequently asked questions
Can I still recover from SwiftFederal Trust Bank if the loss was more than a year ago?
Yes, in many cases. PSD2 rules and consumer protection law under PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90 do not have a strict recovery deadline — the older the case, the more evidence work needed. We take cases from 3 months to 3 years old regularly.
What if I sent SwiftFederal Trust Bank crypto instead of a bank transfer?
Crypto recovery is harder but not impossible. We use blockchain forensics (Chainalysis, TRM Labs) to trace funds to regulated exchanges, then submit legal freeze requests. 30% of cases end up at a regulated exchange where recovery is possible.
Can I recover funds from SwiftFederal Trust Bank if my bank already refused?
Yes — this is one of the most common scenarios we win. Under PSR CRM Code + PSD2 Reg 90, your bank must justify a refusal in writing. We appeal the decision, submit evidence they missed, and escalate to Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). Our team overturns 62% of first-round bank refusals.
