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 Bib (Imposter) 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: Excellent charting|Quick verification
Cons: Slow to add new assets|Alert system is basic
After seeing ads for Bib (Imposter) online, I investigated. The company is listed in the IOSCO I-SCAN warnings database and has been flagged by Financial Markets Authority. Their website looks professional but that means nothing - many scam operations invest heavily in appearance. Always check the regulatory warnings before investing.
Cons: Flagged by Financial Markets Authority|Cannot verify credentials
KYC with Bib (Imposter) is a nightmare. I submitted my ID and proof of address. They rejected it and asked for a utility bill. I sent it. They asked for a bank statement. Then they asked for a selfie with the ID. Then they said the selfie did not match. I gave up.
Pros: Personal attention|Good analytical tools|Instant funding
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours|None so far
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
I invested $15,000 with Bib (Imposter) after seeing their professional-looking website. At first, everything seemed fine - they showed me impressive returns on my dashboard. But when I tried to withdraw, they kept making excuses. First it was "processing time," then "verification needed," then "you need to pay a tax fee first." I never got my money back. I have since reported them to Financial Markets Authority.
Pros: Initially responsive customer service
Cons: Blocked my account|No legitimate license|Fake returns
I requested my data from Bib (Imposter) under GDPR. They sent a partial export that was missing months of transactions. When I asked for the rest they said it was a technical issue. Still waiting. They do not take data rights seriously.
Pros: Two-factor authentication|Multiple order types|Competitive fees
Cons: Minimum deposit could be lower
After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that Bib (Imposter) 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.
Cons: No regulatory oversight|Money disappeared|Fake testimonials
Do not be fooled by the professional-looking website. Behind the scenes, Bib (Imposter) is disorganized and incompetent. I found them when my bank disappointed me and I searched for alternatives and I can only assume the positive reviews are either outdated or paid for because my experience was terrible.
Pros: Regular platform improvements|Responsive team|Competitive fees|Personal attention
Cons: Would like more payment methods|Limited social trading features
I found Bib (Imposter) from a blog post comparing services and the initial impression was positive. But for a couple of months now later, I have encountered so many issues that I cannot recommend them. Trades failing, charts not loading, and support tickets going unanswered for days at a time.
Pros: Easy withdrawals|Low minimum deposit|Great customer service|Good analytical tools
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed|Email notifications too frequent
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to Bib (Imposter). They said they do not accept in-kind transfers for my asset type. I had to sell, withdraw, deposit, and rebuy - incurring taxes and spread costs. They did not tell me this before I signed up.
Pros: Full transparency|Competitive fees
Cons: Live chat only during business hours|No dark mode on mobile
