The platform at Anton Falk Capital Partners is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After for close to eighteen months of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Portfolio tracking tools|Dividend tracking|Dedicated account manager|Fast execution
Cons: Limited cryptocurrency options
KYC with Anton Falk Capital Partners is a nightmare. I submitted my ID and proof of address. They rejected it and asked for a utility bill. I sent it. They asked for a bank statement. Then they asked for a selfie with the ID. Then they said the selfie did not match. I gave up.
Pros: Automated trading options|Multi-currency support|Copy trading available
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed
Anton Falk Capital Partners had an outage that lasted several hours during a major market event. Not only did they fail to prevent it, but they also failed to communicate what was happening. We were left in the dark while our investments were at risk.
Pros: Easy withdrawals|Market news feed|Helpful community forum|Clean UI
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources|Email notifications too frequent
I referred a friend to Anton Falk Capital Partners through a podcast recommendation. We both deposited. The referral bonus never arrived. Support said we did not meet the terms. When we asked which terms they pointed to a clause that was added after we signed up. Shady.
Pros: Clean UI|Easy to use platform
Cons: Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
Anton Falk Capital Partners 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: Easy withdrawals|Comprehensive tools
Cons: Website design could be more modern
The only good thing about Anton Falk Capital Partners is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them after hearing about them at a conference. They are regulated in a jurisdiction with weak consumer protection. When things went wrong I had nowhere to turn. Stick to well-regulated brokers.
Pros: Two-factor authentication|Excellent charting|Automated trading options|Helpful community forum
Cons: Research section could be deeper|Live chat only during business hours
If you are reading this considering Anton Falk Capital Partners - run. I wish I had read more negative reviews while looking for alternatives to my previous provider. I thought the positive ones were real. Maybe some are. My experience over since early this year has been so bad I feel obligated to warn others. Do not make my mistake.
Pros: Segregated accounts|Multiple order types|Two-factor authentication|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists|Cannot customize dashboard fully
The onboarding at Anton Falk Capital Partners was smooth which makes the subsequent experience even more frustrating. Once they have your money, the quality of service drops dramatically. Getting anyone to help you with an actual problem is nearly impossible.
Pros: Full transparency|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: No dark mode on mobile
The hidden fees at Anton Falk Capital Partners are the real scandal here. What they advertise and what they actually charge are two different things. By the time I realized how much I was paying in various fees and spreads, I had already lost a meaningful amount.
Pros: Detailed reporting|Stable platform
Cons: Slow to add new assets|Could offer more webinars
Anton Falk Capital Partners has the worst mobile app I have ever used for investing. It crashes constantly, features that work on desktop are missing entirely, and the security implementation is questionable at best. How they released this app is beyond me.
Pros: Good analytical tools|Personal attention|Reliable uptime
Cons: Alert system is basic|Limited ETF selection
