01
Honest feasibility
We tell you up front whether recovery is realistic, partial, or unlikely. No engagement begins with optimistic projections we cannot defend.
Built around recovery, not promises.
Investment Payback Ltd is a specialist crypto asset recovery firm based in Switzerland, operating across Europe with a network of forensic, banking and legal partners.
Our reason for existing
Most fraud victims hear the same answer twice. From law enforcement, who often cannot act across borders. From the platform that took their funds, who often will not act at all. Investment Payback Ltd exists to provide a third answer that ends in actual recovery.
Who we are
A specialist firm at the intersection of forensics, banking and law.
Investment Payback is the public brand of Investment Payback Ltd, a specialist crypto asset recovery firm headquartered in Zurich. We focus exclusively on recovering crypto, equities and forex lost to fraudulent schemes, primarily for victims across the EU, EEA, Switzerland and the UK.
We are deliberately not a generalist law firm. We are not a self-service blockchain analytics tool. We sit at the intersection, assembling the investigative, technical and legal moves a recovery actually requires into a single engagement, with one investigator who owns the case from intake to release.

Principles
Four commitments that shape every engagement.
These are not aspirations. They are the standards we measure ourselves against on every case.
02
Single point of contact
One named investigator owns your case from intake to final release. You always know whose desk your case is on.
03
Custodial transparency
Recovered funds enter our Security Wallet under your account. You see balances and movements before authorising withdrawal.
04
No impersonation surface
All communication runs through your client portal. We never cold-call, never DM, and never ask for credentials of any kind.
Inside the firm
The people doing the work.
For client-safety reasons we do not publish individual investigator profiles. Here is what every Investment Payback Ltd engagement actually draws on.
