Balfour Capital Group / balfourcapitalgroup.com has been flagged by Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority for "Other". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
I had a dispute with Balfour Capital Group / balfourcapitalgroup.com 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: Economic calendar|Excellent charting
Cons: Minimum deposit could be lower
Balfour Capital Group / balfourcapitalgroup.com offers copy trading. I copied a top trader. The copy trades often executed at worse prices than the original. When I asked why they said it was due to latency and liquidity. So the feature is broken or they are skimming. Either way I stopped using it.
Pros: Fast execution|No hidden fees|Great customer service|Competitive fees
Cons: None so far
Opened my account with Balfour Capital Group / balfourcapitalgroup.com through word of mouth in my investment club 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: Dedicated account manager|Good analytical tools|Portfolio tracking tools|Competitive fees
Cons: Limited ETF selection
This company appears on the IOSCO I-SCAN international warnings list. Over 68 financial regulators worldwide contribute to this database. While being listed doesn't automatically mean fraud, it's a significant red flag that potential investors should take seriously. Do your research thoroughly.
Cons: Flagged by international regulators|Due diligence required
Do not believe the bonus offer from Balfour Capital Group / balfourcapitalgroup.com. The turnover requirement is designed so you can never withdraw. I learned the hard way. I deposited after reading several online reviews and the bonus terms were buried in pages of small print. My fault for not reading but their design is predatory.
Pros: Dedicated account manager|Fast deposits|Fast support response|Dividend tracking
Cons: No phone support on weekends|No dark mode on mobile
Customer support at Balfour Capital Group / balfourcapitalgroup.com seems to be run by people who have never used the platform. Every time I call with an issue, I end up explaining how their own system works before they can help me. It would be funny if my money was not involved.
Pros: Instant funding|Economic calendar|Portfolio tracking tools
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague
Balfour Capital Group / balfourcapitalgroup.com 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: Educational resources|Smooth onboarding
Cons: None so far|No dark mode on mobile
The only good thing about Balfour Capital Group / balfourcapitalgroup.com is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them through my accountant's suggestion. 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: Stable platform|API access|Regular platform improvements|Regular updates
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed
I want to warn everyone about Balfour Capital Group / balfourcapitalgroup.com. They have been flagged by Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority as an unauthorized entity. I wish I had checked before investing. They use high-pressure sales tactics and fake testimonials. Once you send money, getting it back is nearly impossible.
Cons: Withdrawal fees demanded|Communication cut off|Not authorized
