AB INVESTING has been flagged by Comisión para el Mercado Financiero (Financial Market Commission) for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
AB INVESTING changed their fee structure with one month notice. What was a flat fee became a percentage. For my account size it meant a huge increase. When I objected they said I could leave. So I am leaving and writing this review.
Pros: Multiple order types|Market news feed|Easy withdrawals|Copy trading available
Cons: No fractional shares
My withdrawal from AB INVESTING was rejected three times for vague reasons. Each time they asked for more documents. When I finally provided everything, they said my account was under review. for close to eighteen months of being strung along.
Pros: Personal attention|Helpful community forum|Two-factor authentication
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague
This company appears on the IOSCO I-SCAN international warnings list. Over 68 financial regulators worldwide contribute to this database. While being listed doesn't automatically mean fraud, it's a significant red flag that potential investors should take seriously. Do your research thoroughly.
Cons: Listed in IOSCO I-SCAN|May not be authorized in your jurisdiction
Do not use AB INVESTING for anything serious. I used them for about eight months for small trades and it was okay. When I deposited a larger amount and traded more, my account was flagged, my withdrawals were delayed, and I was asked to explain my trading. They treat active traders like criminals.
Pros: Fast support response|Personal attention
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated|No phone support on weekends
The platform at AB INVESTING is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After for over three years of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Segregated accounts|Dedicated account manager|Tax reports included
Cons: Website design could be more modern|No fractional shares
