Investor Protection

Last updated: August 2026

FundingBD does not hold, process, or guarantee your money. This page explains what we actually check, what we don't, and what that means for you as an investor.

1. Verified identities

Every founder completes personal identity verification and business verification, including registration documents and a national ID, before a project can go live. Every investor completes personal identity verification before messaging a founder or sending an investment offer.

2. FundingBD does not hold your money

We are a discovery and introduction platform, not a financial institution. We never receive, hold, or transfer investment funds. When you invest, you send money directly to the founder, entirely at your own discretion and risk, off-platform.

3. What we check, and what we don’t

We verify identity documents and business registration before a project can go live. We do not verify financial figures, business projections, or that a founder will honor their commitments. Funding goals and raised amounts are self-reported by founders and investors and are always labeled as such.

4. Encrypted, anonymous communication

You communicate with founders through anonymous IDs over encrypted channels. Your personal contact details are never exposed unless you choose to share them.

5. Project review

Every project passes an admin review before it goes live, aimed at filtering out low-quality or fraudulent pitches. This review does not guarantee a project’s success or a founder’s integrity.

6. Risk reminder

Early-stage investing carries real risk, including total loss of capital. Invest only with people you trust or have verified yourself, only what you can afford to lose, and always do your own due diligence.
