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.

Pas licencimit, Jet Bank do të hyjë në një fazë testimi paraprak, gjatë së cilës aplikacioni do të jetë i aksesueshëm për një grup të përzgjedhur përdoruesish.

Ky zhvillim konfirmon mbështetjen që ka kjo iniciativë nga Qeveria dhe nga Banka e Shqipërisë, por pikëpyetjet për transparencën rreth pronësisë, kërkesat për siguri dhe stabilitetin financiar vazhdojnë të mbeten të pa sqaruara mjaftueshëm për publikun.

Sipas njoftimeve zyrtare, JET Bank është themeluar në shtator 2025 me një kapital fillestar relativisht të vogël (rreth 3.5 milionë lekë) me themelues Idan Avishai, shtetas me dy shtetësi, izraelite dhe britanike, transmeton Albeu.com.

Kompania kontrollohet nga shoqëria holding e regjistruar në Hollandë, Jet Holdings, ndërsa aksionarë indirektë janë një grup shoqërish tregtare të regjistruara në Qipro dhe Izrael.

Aksionar kryesor në Jet Holdings rezulton shoqëria qipriote Constador LTD. Sipas informacionit nga regjistri i biznesit në Qipro, aksionar i vetëm i shoqërisë është Idan Avishai, i njëjti person që kontrollonte plotësisht Jet Albania, e cila i parapriu JET Bank, me qëllim ngritjen e strukturave përkatëse për të përgatitur aktivitetin e kompanisë.

Megjithatë, banka ka qenë deri më sot e rezervuar për të bërë transparencë të plotë lidhur me strukturën e saj aksionare. Zyrtarisht, banka prezantohet si pjesë e Jet Holdings, një konsorcium britanik me qendër në Amsterdam.

Në fakt, Jet Holdings është një shoqëri e themeluar në shtator të vitit 2025 dhe e regjistruar në Hollandë, me kapital të paguar 50 mijë euro.

Sipas dokumentacionit zyrtar të depozituar, Jet Holdings ka gjashtë shoqëri aksionare, përkatësisht: Constador LTD, shoqëri e regjistruar në Qipro, me afërsisht 71.5% të aksioneve; Don Albania Holdings LTD, shoqëri e regjistruar në Izrael, me 3.7% të aksioneve; Ori Eyal LTD, shoqëri e regjistruar në Izrael, me 2.6% të aksioneve; Yebogogo LTD, shoqëri e regjistruar në Izrael, me 4.9% të aksioneve; Nathan Lawrence LTD, shoqëri e regjistruar në Izrael, me 4.9% të aksioneve; Israel Albania Holding LTD, shoqëri e regjistruar në Izrael, me 12.4% të aksioneve.

Në regjistrin e bizneseve të Britanisë së Madhe, shtetasi Idan Avishai, i datëlindjes janar 1980, rezulton gjithashtu aksionar dhe drejtor në S.O.N MANAGEMENT LTD, kompani e regjistruar në vitin me objekt kryesor aktiviteti menaxhimin dhe konsulencën në aktivitete jashtë menaxhimit financiar, por të dhëna të tërthorta tregojnë se ai është personi që qëndron pas platformës së tregtimit online, Fortrade.

Platforma Fortrade (që vepronte fillimisht me emrin FX Lider) u raportua publikisht në vitin 2018 nga Autoriteti i Mbikëqyrjes Financiare (AMF) në Shqipëri për ushtrimin e aktivitetit financiar të palicencuar në Republikën e Shqipërisë. Burime nga tregu bëjnë të ditur se një gjë të tillë ka bërë edhe autoriteti homolog në Kroaci, HANFA.

Ndërkohë, ne themelimin fillestart të kompanisë në Shqipëri, ishte edhe emri i Oliver Hemmer.

Emri i Oliver Hemmer është i lakuar për disa skema mashtrimi. Në një material të vitit 2019 i siguruar nga Albeu.com, thuhet se zyrtarët federalë po hetojnë një kompani të paregjistruar me seli në Berlin të Gjermanisë, të quajtur Gal Blocklntl Ltd (platforma “4XFX”), e cila vepronte pa autorizimin e duhur. Sipas materialit, drejtori menaxhues i kompanisë, Oliver Hemmer, po drejtonte një skemë mashtrimi të quajtur “4XFX” dhe se ai po hetohej gjithashtu si përfituesi kryesor. Në lidhje me këtë çështje janë paraqitur raporte për kompaninë në Mbretërinë e Bashkuar, Spanjë dhe Estoni, dhe Australi. (https://www.scribd.com/document/714449499/report-for-the-fraudulent-activities-4xfx-com)

Në lidhje me skemën e mashtrimit të platformës “4XFX”, institucione të rëndësishme kanë publikuar njoftime ku kane denoncuar skemën. (Denoncimi i FCA britanike dhe denoncimi nga autoritetet financiare të Australisë)

4XFX ishte një platformë mashtruese dhe e parregulluar e tregtimit të kriptomonedhave dhe forex-it që synonte investitorët në vende të shumta (Mbretëria e Bashkuar, Kanada, Australi) rreth vitit 2019, duke pretenduar se ofronte tregtim bitcoin, ari dhe nafte, por në vend të kësaj mashtronte përdoruesit, me organe rregullatore si FCA dhe MSC që lëshonin paralajmërime, dhe faqja e internetit e platformës më vonë u mbyll. Është një shembull klasik i një skeme të palicencuar ku përdoruesit humbasin para, duke çuar shpesh në mashtrime pasuese të “dhomës së rikuperimit”.

Licencimi i JET Bank nuk kaloi pa debate edhe në strukturat e Bankës së Shqipërisë, madje sipas informacioneve, një drejtuese në Departamentin e Mbikëqyrjes dha dorëheqjen pa e firmosur propozimin për dhënien e miratimit paraprak për licencë ndaj këtij subjekti.

Sipas informacioneve që qarkullojnë mes profesionistëve të tregut financiar, licencimi i JET Bank është bërë me mbështetjen e personave me ndikim pranë qeverisë. /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/
