Bayleys Investment has been flagged by Financial Markets Authority for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services|Fraud ...". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
Do not be fooled by the professional-looking website. Behind the scenes, Bayleys Investment is disorganized and incompetent. I found them after hearing about them at a conference and I can only assume the positive reviews are either outdated or paid for because my experience was terrible.
Pros: Dedicated account manager|Stable platform
Cons: Slow to add new assets|Alert system is basic
Bayleys Investment 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: Dedicated account manager|No hidden fees|Easy withdrawals|Full transparency
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed|No dark mode on mobile
My card was charged twice by Bayleys Investment on the same day. I had to dispute it with my bank. Bayleys Investment then froze my account and said I had a negative balance because of the chargeback. They created the problem and then punished me for it.
Pros: Two-factor authentication|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague|Live chat only during business hours
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: Appears in regulatory warnings database|Uncertain regulatory status
After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that Bayleys Investment 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: Lost entire investment|Reported to authorities|Unresponsive
The mobile app from Bayleys Investment is dangerous. I placed an order that showed as pending, so I placed another. Both executed and I was overexposed. When I complained they said it was user error. The app design is misleading.
Pros: Regular updates|Multi-currency support
Cons: No live chat on mobile
I found this company through a friend who recommended it. Before investing, I checked various regulatory databases and found that Bayleys Investment has been flagged as an unauthorized entity. I informed my friend immediately. Please always verify with official sources - a quick search could save you thousands.
Pros: Website looks legitimate on the surface
Cons: Unauthorized firm|Found in IOSCO warnings database
I want to warn everyone about Bayleys Investment. They have been flagged by Financial Markets 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: No regulatory oversight|Money disappeared|Fake testimonials
After spending for a couple of months now trying to make Bayleys Investment 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: Personal attention|Fast execution|Fast deposits|Reliable uptime
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|No integrated tax optimization
