AKQ has been flagged by Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa 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.
My card was charged twice by AKQ on the same day. I had to dispute it with my bank. AKQ then froze my account and said I had a negative balance because of the chargeback. They created the problem and then punished me for it.
Pros: Comprehensive tools|Demo account available
Cons: No live chat on mobile|Email notifications too frequent
The platform itself is okay, but the customer service at AKQ is truly awful. I waited weeks for a response to a simple inquiry. When they did respond, it felt like a generic template that did not address my specific issue at all.
Pros: Regular updates|Educational resources|Smooth onboarding
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers
I looked into AKQ and found they appear in the regulatory warnings database. Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa has issued a notice about this firm. Whether this is a misunderstanding or a serious concern, the fact remains that proper due diligence is essential. Always verify the regulatory status of any company before investing your hard-earned money.
Cons: Listed in IOSCO I-SCAN|May not be authorized in your jurisdiction
I closed a profitable position at AKQ and the profit was not credited for 5 days. Support said it was a settlement delay. When it finally arrived it was less than the amount shown on the platform. They could not explain the difference. I have moved my account.
Pros: Dividend tracking|Easy withdrawals|Low minimum deposit|API access
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers
The mobile app from AKQ is dangerous. I placed an order that showed as pending, so I placed another. Both executed and I was overexposed. When I complained they said it was user error. The app design is misleading.
Pros: Regular platform improvements|Real-time alerts|Stable platform
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated|Limited social trading features
Several red flags with AKQ: (1) They promise unrealistically high returns, (2) They're not registered with Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa, (3) Their contact information is vague, (4) They pressure you to deposit quickly. I recommend everyone do thorough due diligence before investing with any company.
Cons: Unauthorized firm|Found in IOSCO warnings database
Tried to withdraw my funds from AKQ and was told I needed to pay a "withdrawal tax" of 20%. This is a red flag. No legitimate broker charges withdrawal taxes. When I refused, they became aggressive and eventually stopped all communication. My entire investment is gone.
Cons: No regulatory oversight|Money disappeared|Fake testimonials
I had high hopes for AKQ after doing extensive research, but my experience has been disappointing. Customer support is slow, the platform has frequent issues, and their fee structure is not as transparent as advertised. I am actively looking for alternatives now.
Pros: Multi-device support|Competitive fees|Tax reports included
Cons: No integrated tax optimization
AKQ advertises low fees but once you dig into the fine print, there are numerous charges that add up quickly. Inactivity fees, withdrawal fees, currency conversion fees - it all eats into your returns. I wish I had read the terms more carefully.
Pros: Detailed reporting|High security standards|Professional team
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers
I was contacted by AKQ through social media. They promised guaranteed returns of 20-30% monthly. Being naive, I invested. The "account manager" pressured me to invest more and more. When I finally tried to take profit, my account was frozen and they stopped responding. Classic Ponzi/advance fee fraud.
Cons: Blocked my account|No legitimate license|Fake returns
