Berenberg.35 was identified by financial regulators as a clone firm that illegally used the name, branding, and registration details of the highly reputable and FCA-authorised bank, Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG (Berenberg). The clone's objective was to deceive and defraud investors by appearing to be the genuine company, which was founded in 1590 and is one of the world's oldest private banks. The legitimate Berenberg operates in wealth management, asset management, investment banking, and corporate banking. The clone entity has no legitimate history or operations.
