F&B

I signed up with F&B after reading several online reviews 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.

My card was charged twice by F&B on the same day. I had to dispute it with my bank. F&B 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.

After for over a year with F&B 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.

Tried to withdraw my funds from F&B 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.

The platform at F&B is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After since I retired last year of dealing with this, I have had enough.

I looked into F&B and found they appear in the regulatory warnings database. Securities and Exchange Commission 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.

I joined F&B through a forum discussion 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.

The platform itself is okay, but the customer service at F&B is truly awful. I waited weeks for a response to a simple inquiry. When they did respond, it felt like a generic template that did not address my specific issue at all.

The spread at F&B is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them after seeing their ad online and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.

I requested my data from F&B under GDPR. They sent a partial export that was missing months of transactions. When I asked for the rest they said it was a technical issue. Still waiting. They do not take data rights seriously.
