Authentic Global Trade has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority 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.
The reporting at Authentic Global Trade 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: Good analytical tools|Responsive team|Excellent charting
Cons: Alert system is basic|No live chat on mobile
I am in a dispute with Authentic Global Trade over a trade that was clearly erroneous. The price shown was wrong, I closed at a profit, and they reversed the trade and took the money back. They said it was a system error. So I lose and they keep? Unacceptable.
Pros: Economic calendar|Excellent charting
Cons: Search feature is basic
After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that Authentic Global Trade is not authorized by any legitimate financial regulator. They are operating illegally. The website looks very professional but it's all a facade. Please check the regulatory warnings database before investing with ANY company.
Pros: Initially responsive customer service
Cons: No regulatory oversight|Money disappeared|Fake testimonials
After spending since early this year trying to make Authentic Global Trade work for me, I have given up. The platform has too many limitations, the fees are not competitive, and the quality of their market data is questionable. There are much better options available.
Pros: No hidden fees|Great customer service|Professional team|Personal attention
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully
I gave Authentic Global Trade a fair chance. After for about ten months of usage, I can say with confidence that there are far better options available. The interface is clunky, the fees are higher than competitors, and the customer support team seems overwhelmed or understaffed.
Pros: Intuitive for beginners|High security standards|Dividend tracking|API access
Cons: Limited cryptocurrency options|Wait times can be long during peak hours
I had a dispute with Authentic Global Trade and went to their complaints process. They have an internal team that just defends the company. Then they said I could go to an ombudsman - but the ombudsman they use is industry-funded and rarely rules for the client. The system is rigged.
Pros: Easy to use platform|Risk management tools|Tax reports included|Multi-currency support
Cons: Live chat only during business hours|Would like more payment methods
After using Authentic Global Trade for over a year, I decided to move my account elsewhere. The platform was unreliable, withdrawals took an unreasonable amount of time, and I could never get a straight answer from customer service. Frustrating experience overall.
Pros: Good analytical tools|Dividend tracking|Easy withdrawals
Cons: No live chat on mobile|None so far
After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that Authentic Global Trade is not authorized by any legitimate financial regulator. They are operating illegally. The website looks very professional but it's all a facade. Please check the regulatory warnings database before investing with ANY company.
Pros: Initially responsive customer service
Cons: Blocked my account|No legitimate license|Fake returns
For anyone considering Authentic Global Trade, please be aware that this company has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority. This does not necessarily mean they are a scam, but it does mean they may not be authorized to operate in certain jurisdictions. I strongly recommend checking the official regulator website before making any investment decisions.
Cons: Flagged by international regulators|Due diligence required
After seeing ads for Authentic Global Trade online, I investigated. The company is listed in the IOSCO I-SCAN warnings database and has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority. Their website looks professional but that means nothing - many scam operations invest heavily in appearance. Always check the regulatory warnings before investing.
Cons: Not registered with regulators|Unrealistic promises
