Awhina Financial (awhinacapital.com) has been flagged by ASIC (Australia) for "Unlicensed". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm. Website domain: awhinacapital.com.
My withdrawal request from Awhina Financial (awhinacapital.com) has been pending for over two weeks now. Every time I contact support, I get the same copy-paste response about processing times. This is unacceptable for a financial platform in this day and age.
Pros: Personal attention|Fast execution|Good analytical tools
Cons: No fractional shares|Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
I lost a significant amount because Awhina Financial (awhinacapital.com) did not execute my stop loss during a flash crash. They said the market was illiquid. Other brokers managed to execute. I have no proof they did not trade against me. Avoid.
Pros: Full transparency|Portfolio tracking tools
Cons: Research section could be deeper
Their execution during news is terrible. I had limit orders in place. When the news hit, my orders were not filled at the limit price - they were filled much worse. Awhina Financial (awhinacapital.com) said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.
Pros: Comprehensive tools|Clean UI|Easy withdrawals|Good analytical tools
Cons: Mobile app could be improved
I signed up with Awhina Financial (awhinacapital.com) through a podcast recommendation 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: Fast deposits|Good mobile app
Cons: Website design could be more modern
The only good thing about Awhina Financial (awhinacapital.com) is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them through a podcast recommendation. 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: Wide product range|Tax reports included|Personal attention|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Live chat only during business hours|Wait times can be long during peak hours
The reporting at Awhina Financial (awhinacapital.com) 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: Clear documentation|Quick verification|Instant funding|Automated trading options
Cons: Limited ETF selection|Desktop app not available on Linux
Opened my account with Awhina Financial (awhinacapital.com) after comparing multiple platforms and regretted it within the first month. The platform crashed during a critical moment, I lost potential gains, and support basically told me it was not their problem. Absolutely unacceptable behavior.
Pros: Competitive fees|Reliable uptime|Good mobile app
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated|Currency conversion fee exists
