Empire Funded 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.
I joined Empire Funded through word of mouth in my investment club 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: Customizable dashboard|Good analytical tools
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources
I closed a profitable position at Empire Funded and the profit was not credited for 5 days. Support said it was a settlement delay. When it finally arrived it was less than the amount shown on the platform. They could not explain the difference. I have moved my account.
Pros: Good analytical tools|Copy trading available
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux
Empire Funded locked my account without warning and demanded documents I had already submitted. since I retired last year later I still do not have access to my funds. Their compliance team does not respond to emails. I am considering legal action.
Pros: Good mobile app|Multi-currency support
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources|Currency conversion fee exists
Empire Funded seems more interested in acquiring new customers than taking care of existing ones. The marketing is aggressive but the product is mediocre. Once you are past the honeymoon period, the cracks in their service become very apparent.
Pros: Excellent charting|Responsive team
Cons: Live chat only during business hours|Onboarding videos are outdated
Several red flags with Empire Funded: (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.
Cons: Not registered with regulators|Unrealistic promises
Where do I even begin with Empire Funded? since mid-2025 of broken promises, unanswered tickets, and a platform that feels like it was built in 2010. They spend more on marketing than on actually improving their service. Stay away from this company.
Pros: Multi-currency support|Reliable uptime|Personal attention
Cons: Nothing significant|Help articles are sometimes vague
The only good thing about Empire Funded is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them through my accountant's suggestion. They are regulated in a jurisdiction with weak consumer protection. When things went wrong I had nowhere to turn. Stick to well-regulated brokers.
Pros: Full transparency|Tax reports included|API access|Multi-currency support
Cons: No integrated tax optimization|Could offer more webinars
I had a dispute with Empire Funded and went to their complaints process. They have an internal team that just defends the company. Then they said I could go to an ombudsman - but the ombudsman they use is industry-funded and rarely rules for the client. The system is rigged.
Pros: Easy withdrawals|Wide product range|Tax reports included
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated
I trusted Empire Funded with a significant portion of my savings and I deeply regret that decision. Not because of market losses, but because of how poorly the platform performed and how dismissively the support team treated my concerns.
Pros: API access|Educational resources
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
The platform at Empire Funded is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After for about three months of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Intuitive for beginners|Excellent charting|Portfolio tracking tools|Easy to use platform
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux
