Elite Bit Markets has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that Elite Bit Markets 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: Blocked my account|No legitimate license|Fake returns
My card was charged twice by Elite Bit Markets on the same day. I had to dispute it with my bank. Elite Bit Markets then froze my account and said I had a negative balance because of the chargeback. They created the problem and then punished me for it.
Pros: Detailed reporting|No hidden fees
Cons: Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days|No dark mode on mobile
I invested $5,000 with Elite Bit Markets 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 Conduct Authority.
Cons: Cannot withdraw funds|Not regulated|Pressure tactics
I gave Elite Bit Markets a fair chance. After for the past year and a half of usage, I can say with confidence that there are far better options available. The interface is clunky, the fees are higher than competitors, and the customer support team seems overwhelmed or understaffed.
Pros: Great customer service|API access|Easy to use platform
Cons: Slow to add new assets|No live chat on mobile
Several red flags with Elite Bit Markets: (1) They promise unrealistically high returns, (2) They're not registered with Financial Conduct Authority, (3) Their contact information is vague, (4) They pressure you to deposit quickly. I recommend everyone do thorough due diligence before investing with any company.
Pros: Website looks legitimate on the surface
Cons: Flagged by Financial Conduct Authority|Cannot verify credentials
I looked into Elite Bit Markets and found they appear in the regulatory warnings database. Financial Conduct Authority has issued a notice about this firm. Whether this is a misunderstanding or a serious concern, the fact remains that proper due diligence is essential. Always verify the regulatory status of any company before investing your hard-earned money.
Pros: Information is publicly available for verification
Cons: Appears in regulatory warnings database|Uncertain regulatory status
