I signed up with Asian Pacific Advisors Ltd after doing extensive research and the first red flag was the aggressive account manager who would not stop calling. After depositing, the promised support vanished. Withdrawals are delayed with endless excuses. I have reported them to the regulator.
Pros: Segregated accounts|Multi-device support|Real-time alerts
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated|Search feature is basic
I closed a profitable position at Asian Pacific Advisors Ltd 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: Portfolio tracking tools|High security standards
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|No dark mode on mobile
If you are reading this considering Asian Pacific Advisors Ltd - run. I wish I had read more negative reviews after comparing multiple platforms. I thought the positive ones were real. Maybe some are. My experience over for over a year has been so bad I feel obligated to warn others. Do not make my mistake.
Pros: Competitive fees|Fast deposits|No hidden fees|Helpful community forum
Cons: Charting tools need more indicators|Limited ETF selection
The reporting at Asian Pacific Advisors Ltd is laughably bad. Tax documents are inaccurate, transaction histories have gaps, and trying to export data for your accountant is a nightmare. For a financial platform, getting the numbers right should be the bare minimum.
Pros: Full transparency|Professional team
Cons: Live chat only during business hours
Do not use Asian Pacific Advisors Ltd for anything serious. I used them for about five 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: Personal attention|Educational resources
Cons: Alert system is basic
Do not believe the bonus offer from Asian Pacific Advisors Ltd. The turnover requirement is designed so you can never withdraw. I learned the hard way. I deposited after a family member had a good experience and the bonus terms were buried in pages of small print. My fault for not reading but their design is predatory.
Pros: Full transparency|Multiple order types|Low minimum deposit|Dedicated account manager
Cons: Search feature is basic
I have been trying to close my account with Asian Pacific Advisors Ltd for weeks now and they keep giving me the runaround. First it was a form to fill out, then identity verification again, then a mandatory phone call that never gets scheduled. They make leaving impossible.
Pros: Full transparency|Risk management tools
Cons: No fractional shares|Limited ETF selection
Asian Pacific Advisors Ltd has no proper customer support. The live chat is a bot. The phone number goes to a call center that cannot access your account. Email takes two weeks. When I had a real problem they were nowhere to be found.
Pros: Low minimum deposit|Customizable dashboard
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated
The platform at Asian Pacific Advisors Ltd is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After since I opened my account last year of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Portfolio tracking tools|Regular platform improvements|Good mobile app
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux|No phone support on weekends
