Core Invest has been flagged by Financial Services and Markets Authority for "Fraud and Other Types of Misconduct". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
I referred a friend to Core Invest after my brother mentioned them. 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: Fast support response|Customizable dashboard
Cons: No live chat on mobile|Mobile app could be improved
My withdrawal request from Core Invest 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: Intuitive for beginners|Dividend tracking
Cons: Minor UI glitches occasionally
I want to warn everyone about Core Invest. They have been flagged by Financial Services and 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.
Pros: Initially responsive customer service
Cons: Cannot withdraw funds|Not regulated|Pressure tactics
Do not be fooled by the professional-looking website. Behind the scenes, Core Invest is disorganized and incompetent. I found them through my accountant's suggestion and I can only assume the positive reviews are either outdated or paid for because my experience was terrible.
Pros: Two-factor authentication|Automated trading options|Regular updates
Cons: No integrated tax optimization|Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
Core Invest 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: Market news feed|Regular updates|Multi-device support|Helpful community forum
Cons: Search feature is basic|Account statements could be more detailed
Do not believe the bonus offer from Core Invest. The turnover requirement is designed so you can never withdraw. I learned the hard way. I deposited from a review site like this one and the bonus terms were buried in pages of small print. My fault for not reading but their design is predatory.
Pros: Multi-currency support|Dividend tracking|Low minimum deposit
Cons: Website design could be more modern
KYC with Core Invest 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|Market news feed|Clean UI
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods
If you are reading this considering Core Invest - run. I wish I had read more negative reviews after comparing multiple platforms. I thought the positive ones were real. Maybe some are. My experience over for close to eighteen months has been so bad I feel obligated to warn others. Do not make my mistake.
Pros: Clear documentation|Quick verification
Cons: No crypto staking
Core Invest advertises low fees but once you dig into the fine print, there are numerous charges that add up quickly. Inactivity fees, withdrawal fees, currency conversion fees - it all eats into your returns. I wish I had read the terms more carefully.
Pros: Customizable dashboard|Regular updates|Quick verification
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed
I found this company through a friend who recommended it. Before investing, I checked various regulatory databases and found that Core Invest 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.
Cons: Unauthorized firm|Found in IOSCO warnings database
