Crest (crestinc.co) has been flagged by ASIC (Australia) for "Unlicensed". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm. Website domain: crestinc.co.
The reporting at Crest (crestinc.co) 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: Professional team|Demo account available|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers|Cannot customize dashboard fully
Opened my account with Crest (crestinc.co) after my brother mentioned them and regretted it within the first month. The platform crashed during a critical moment, I lost potential gains, and support basically told me it was not their problem. Absolutely unacceptable behavior.
Pros: Real-time alerts|Automated trading options|Reliable uptime|No hidden fees
Cons: No dark mode on mobile
The platform at Crest (crestinc.co) is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After for over three years of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Copy trading available|Transparent fees
Cons: No live chat on mobile
Crest (crestinc.co) changed their fee structure with one month notice. What was a flat fee became a percentage. For my account size it meant a huge increase. When I objected they said I could leave. So I am leaving and writing this review.
Pros: Tax reports included|Regular updates|API access
Cons: Mobile app could be improved
After since I opened my account last year with Crest (crestinc.co), 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: Tax reports included|Low minimum deposit|Social trading features
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources
I signed up with Crest (crestinc.co) after hearing about them at a conference and the first red flag was the aggressive account manager who would not stop calling. After depositing, the promised support vanished. Withdrawals are delayed with endless excuses. I have reported them to the regulator.
Pros: Easy withdrawals|Customizable dashboard
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague|Search feature is basic
Crest (crestinc.co) had an outage that lasted several hours during a major market event. Not only did they fail to prevent it, but they also failed to communicate what was happening. We were left in the dark while our investments were at risk.
Pros: Fast deposits|Instant funding|Segregated accounts|Multi-currency support
Cons: Limited demo account features
After for close to eighteen months with Crest (crestinc.co) I requested to close my account and withdraw. They said I had to complete a 30-day cooling-off period. Then they said there was a minimum holding period for my last deposit. They make it as hard as possible to leave.
Pros: Helpful community forum|Clean UI|Good mobile app|Economic calendar
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources
Do not use Crest (crestinc.co) for anything serious. I used them for over three years for small trades and it was okay. When I deposited a larger amount and traded more, my account was flagged, my withdrawals were delayed, and I was asked to explain my trading. They treat active traders like criminals.
Pros: Intuitive for beginners|Easy withdrawals
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague|Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
I joined Crest (crestinc.co) after a trusted YouTuber reviewed them 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: Detailed reporting|Fast execution|Excellent charting
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers|Could offer more webinars
