Update On Secretive High-Risk Payment Processor LuqaPay!

Fintelegram has reported a few times in 2021 about the high-risk payment processor LuqaPay which claims to be based in Malta on its website. In fact, LuqaPay is likely to be operated through Fortis LLC in Georgia. The website is secretive and does not reveal anything about the operators. Links to social media presences are also missing. LuqaPay specializes in the Japanese online gambling scene. We have put LuqaPay on our black compliance list.
