He has raised concerns about the licensing process of a new online bank in Albania, warning of potential risks to financial security. In a public reaction, he states that the country risks turning into a terrain where suspicious financial activities can be institutionalized.

According to him, Albania has become a terrain where criminal groups test their limits, while one of the most widespread activities remains call centers that extort European citizens through financial fraud.

The MP emphasizes that he has addressed a request for information to the Bank of Albania regarding the licensing process of JET Bank, requesting data on shareholders, the source of initial capital and the verifications carried out by the Supervisory Council.

According to the central bank’s response, a preliminary approval has been given for the licensing of the institution, while the financial analysis is based on one of the partners, Idan Avishai.

The MP criticizes the institution’s response, emphasizing that it has not been clarified whether the shareholders had any connections to Forex platforms. He adds that public information indicates that executives of companies linked to the bank’s shareholders had connections to the Fortrade Cyprus platform, which was previously reported for unlicensed activity in Albania by the Financial Supervisory Authority.

“Directors of Jet Holding and Constador LTD (71.52% shareholder of Jet Bank) are linked to Fortrade Cyprus (which initially operated under the name FX Lider), a platform reported in 2018 by the Financial Supervisory Authority (AMF) for unlicensed activity in Albania.

However, in public information, it can easily be verified that Jet Bank has no previous experience, as it has not operated in any country in the world. There is no history of its operation, successful or not, outside of Albania where it has just received its license.

This fact is even more important if we consider that it is not a traditional bank, but the first online bank in Albania.

This information, easily accessible, is enough to raise the alarm.

What was denounced as an illegal activity yesterday, today risks turning into a licensed activity. Paradoxically, an online bank licensed by the Bank of Albania has shareholders linked to structures that have previously been denounced for illegal financial activity by another Albanian state institution.

It is up to law enforcement institutions to verify the legality of these shareholders, but today it is up to me to raise major concerns regarding the financial security and protection of Albanian citizens.

As if these doubts were not enough, the sole shareholder of JET Bank, Jet Holdings B.V., has registered the company Jet Tech in Durana Tech Park in November 2025, where we all know that one of the facilities is 0 taxes! ”, writes Këlliçi.

According to him, the fact that it is an online bank with no previous operating history makes the situation even more sensitive, while warning that the banking system should not risk turning into a “licensed call center”. The MP has warned that he will again address the Bank of Albania with a new request for more detailed information and that the matter will also be forwarded to law enforcement institutions.

The post The Bank of Albania licensed a bank suspected of being linked to online fraud. Who is behind Jet Bank, Durana Park’s virtual client? appeared first on Albeu.com.

After licensing, Jet Bank will enter a preliminary testing phase, during which the application will be accessible to a select group of users.

This development confirms the support this initiative has from the Government and the Bank of Albania, but questions about transparency around ownership, security requirements, and financial stability continue to remain insufficiently clarified for the public.

According to official announcements, JET Bank was established in September 2025 with a relatively small initial capital (around 3.5 million lek) with founder Idan Avishai, a dual citizen, Israeli and British, Albeu.com reports.

The company is controlled by the Dutch-registered holding company, Jet Holdings, while indirect shareholders are a group of commercial companies registered in Cyprus and Israel.

The main shareholder in Jet Holdings is the Cypriot company Constador LTD. According to information from the business register in Cyprus, the sole shareholder of the company is Idan Avishai, the same person who fully controlled Jet Albania, which preceded JET Bank, in order to establish the relevant structures to prepare the company’s activity.

However, the bank has so far been reluctant to provide full transparency regarding its shareholding structure. Officially, the bank is presented as part of Jet Holdings, a British consortium based in Amsterdam.

In fact, Jet Holdings is a company founded in September 2025 and registered in the Netherlands, with paid-up capital of 50 thousand euros.

According to the official documentation filed, Jet Holdings has six joint stock companies, namely: Constador LTD, a company registered in Cyprus, with approximately 71.5% of the shares; Don Albania Holdings LTD, a company registered in Israel, with 3.7% of the shares; Ori Eyal LTD, a company registered in Israel, with 2.6% of the shares; Yebogogo LTD, a company registered in Israel, with 4.9% of the shares; Nathan Lawrence LTD, a company registered in Israel, with 4.9% of the shares; Israel Albania Holding LTD, a company registered in Israel, with 12.4% of the shares.

In the UK business register, citizen Idan Avishai, born in January 1980, also appears as a shareholder and director of SON MANAGEMENT LTD, a company registered in the year with the main activity of management and consultancy in activities outside of financial management, but indirect data indicates that he is the person behind the online trading platform, Fortrade.

The Fortrade platform (which initially operated under the name FX Lider) was publicly reported in 2018 by the Albanian Financial Supervisory Authority (AMF) for conducting unlicensed financial activity in the Republic of Albania. Market sources indicate that the counterpart authority in Croatia, HANFA, has also done so.

Meanwhile, at the initial establishment of the company in Albania, Oliver Hemmer’s name was also present.

Oliver Hemmer’s name is linked to several fraud schemes. In a 2019 report obtained by Albeu.com, federal officials are investigating an unregistered company based in Berlin, Germany, called Gal Blocklntl Ltd (the “4XFX” platform ), which was operating without proper authorization. According to the report, the company’s managing director, Oliver Hemmer, was running a fraud scheme called “4XFX” and that he was also being investigated as the main beneficiary. Reports have been filed against the company in the United Kingdom, Spain and Estonia, and Australia in connection with this matter. ( https://www.scribd.com/document/714449499/report-for-the-fraudulent-activities-4xfx-com )

In relation to the “4XFX” platform fraud scheme, important institutions have published notices denouncing the scheme. (The denunciation of the British FCA and the denunciation by the Australian financial authorities )

4XFX was a fraudulent and unregulated cryptocurrency and forex trading platform that targeted investors in multiple countries (UK, Canada, Australia) around 2019, claiming to offer bitcoin, gold and oil trading, but instead defrauded users, with regulators such as the FCA and MSC issuing warnings, and the platform’s website later being shut down. It is a classic example of an unlicensed scheme where users lose money, often leading to subsequent “recovery room” scams.

The licensing of JET Bank did not go without debate even within the structures of the Bank of Albania, and according to information, a manager in the Supervision Department resigned without signing the proposal for granting prior approval for a license to this entity.

According to information circulating among financial market professionals, the licensing of JET Bank was done with the support of influential people close to the government. /albeu.com/

Since 2020, Trashaj has been demanding investigations into what he considered theft and excessive obligations, but no one has been investigated.

In the absence of justice, he was seeking justice, while he had taken the loan from the NOA financial foundation and the problems had arisen, precisely for the installments paid to the branch of this company in Lezha.

A short time ago, Trashaj became part of a public denunciation of micro-loans, during an interview for TCh.

Raiffeisen Bank, where the 63-year-old had repaid some of the installments, was also involved in the 63-year-old’s loan, turns out.

Pal Trashaj’s testimony:
In 2008, he took out a loan of 5 million old lek, from Opportunity, which later turned into NOA.

Since they were not a bank, I would pay the installments at Raiffeisen Bank, every month I would pay about 150 thousand old lek”.

I would pay off the installment every month, but Opportunity turned into NOA. I paid off about five installments from 2011 to 2013 at NOA in Lezha. It was on my way to work and I would pass by there, so I paid 5 installments there.

In the 5th year, the loan repayment ended, for a 5 million lek loan, I had to pay 8 million old lek.

After I paid off the debt, they took me to the NOA office in Lezha, they told me I owed NOA 400 thousand old lek.

I told him why, and he said I don’t know anything, I’m new. They were all new staff. I asked for their claims in writing, they didn’t give them to me.

I went back later, he gave me a balance sheet, where he told me that I had missing installments of about 900 thousand lek, but together with the interests, it was 4.4 million old lek.

Troshaj says that this happened because of the theft that was committed at the NOA office in Lezha.

In 2017, the phone calls started, and then the envelopes, companies that said we bought your bad credit and we will do the execution.

Envelopes with red seals came for 2-3 years. I went to the Enforcement Company, where there were dozens of citizens who were paying, complaining. There was a team of young thugs there who were being abused to rape people.

The letters that came, one said 4.4 million, the other 4.8.

After these procedures, Pal Trashaj’s property was frozen, specifically the apartment, but without selling it to him, only freezing it.

They were like a thief who comes out on the street, if you resist they won’t take it, if you give in they will take it, I didn’t give in.

In the end, for the 5 million old lek that Trashaj received, he paid 8 million regularly, and the 4.4 million they demanded for delays and commissions, the debt came to 12.4 million old lek.

The microcredit cartel Olsi Ibro and Arben Meskuti, through MCA, which the prosecution has taken over, had blocked all assets and bank accounts of Pal and his relatives, for several alleged unpaid loan installments to NOA, worth 90 thousand lek.

NOA sells the loan to the MCA-ADCA gang of the Ibro-Meskuti duo (the latter in prison). MCA demands about 5 thousand euros from Pal Trashaj, more than five times the amount allegedly unpaid by NOA.

MCA cooperates with bailiff Helidon Xhindi to freeze Pal Trashaj’s assets, in order to force him to give up the money.

Prapaskena learns that bailiff Helidon Xhindi was dismissed by Gazmend Bardhi in 2017 and did not have a seal at all.

Second-tier banks, including BKT, have implemented the bailiff’s order to freeze Pal Trashaj’s accounts.

Meanwhile, Pal Trashaj has insisted that he has repaid the installments of the loan he received from Noa. Trashaj has been visiting the doors of the prosecutor’s office and the courts, seeking justice. Only the media has heard and reflected his concern.

In 2022, Pal Trashaj wrote a letter to the director of BKT, Turkish-Pakistani Seyhan Pencablıgil, his confidant Arjana Xhafa and the governor of the Bank of Albania Gent Sejko, asking BKT to unblock the bank accounts, while denouncing the fraudulent MCA scheme.

The former director of Prokredit Bank, Arjana Xhafa, a conductor and in the affair of the joint-stock company “Miell Tirana”, has organized a bandit scheme to take “part” from thousands of clients “blocked” from the debts they have on microcredits, in collaboration with the .

Arjana Xhafaj responds to Pal Trashaj that she will not unblock the accounts without paying 4.8 million lek to the bailiff Helidon Xhindi.
