CNSWEB 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.
After seeing ads for CNSWEB 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: Unauthorized firm|Found in IOSCO warnings database
CNSWEB 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: Helpful community forum|Easy withdrawals|Responsive team|Social trading features
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated|No fractional shares
Tried to withdraw my funds from CNSWEB and was told I needed to pay a "withdrawal tax" of 20%. This is a red flag. No legitimate broker charges withdrawal taxes. When I refused, they became aggressive and eventually stopped all communication. My entire investment is gone.
Pros: Initially responsive customer service
Cons: Lost entire investment|Reported to authorities|Unresponsive
CNSWEB 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: No hidden fees|Customizable dashboard|Reliable uptime
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers
I joined CNSWEB after reading several online reviews and from the start, things felt off. The signup process collected far more personal information than necessary, the verification took unreasonably long, and when I finally got access, the platform was nothing like what was advertised.
Pros: Responsive team|Low minimum deposit|Regular platform improvements|Personal attention
Cons: Email notifications too frequent|Limited cryptocurrency options
