Ireland's banking regulator has published the name of an unauthorised firm, Kenilworth Mergers & Acquisitions Inc (USA) which it has not authorised to be an investment firm, or to provide investment advice.

The web address that the central bank gives for the firm is www.kenilworthma.com. A list of unauthorised firms published to date is available on the Central Bank website.

It is a criminal offence for an unauthorised firm/person to provide financial services in Ireland that would require an authorisation under the laws that the Central Bank enforces. If an individual investor deals with a firm/person who is not authorised, he is not eligible for compensation from the Investor Compensation Scheme.
