Addresses: 912 H Street Northwest Washington DC 20223 This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm. Website domain: gov.bintst.org.
KYC with Bureau of International Securities Trading 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: Multi-device support|Personal attention|Excellent charting|Good mobile app
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods|Limited ETF selection
The onboarding at Bureau of International Securities Trading was smooth which makes the subsequent experience even more frustrating. Once they have your money, the quality of service drops dramatically. Getting anyone to help you with an actual problem is nearly impossible.
Pros: Two-factor authentication|Regular platform improvements|Full transparency
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods|Website design could be more modern
I referred a friend to Bureau of International Securities Trading after doing extensive research. We both deposited. The referral bonus never arrived. Support said we did not meet the terms. When we asked which terms they pointed to a clause that was added after we signed up. Shady.
Pros: Copy trading available|Good mobile app
Cons: Website design could be more modern
The reporting at Bureau of International Securities Trading 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: Multi-currency support|Low minimum deposit|Helpful community forum|Risk management tools
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources
My withdrawal request from Bureau of International Securities Trading 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: Regular updates|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Limited ETF selection|Email notifications too frequent
After for roughly four months with Bureau of International Securities Trading, I can only describe the experience as death by a thousand cuts. No single issue was catastrophic, but the constant stream of small problems, slow responses, and missing features wore me down until I finally left.
Pros: No hidden fees|Demo account available|Transparent fees
Cons: Live chat only during business hours
If you are reading this considering Bureau of International Securities Trading - run. I wish I had read more negative reviews after attending a webinar they hosted. I thought the positive ones were real. Maybe some are. My experience over since early this year has been so bad I feel obligated to warn others. Do not make my mistake.
Pros: Comprehensive tools|Regular updates
Cons: Limited demo account features
