I trusted Financial Trading Group International S.A. 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: Easy withdrawals|Market news feed|Professional team
Cons: No dark mode on mobile
Customer support at Financial Trading Group International S.A. seems to be run by people who have never used the platform. Every time I call with an issue, I end up explaining how their own system works before they can help me. It would be funny if my money was not involved.
Pros: Tax reports included|API access|Economic calendar
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated|Would like more payment methods
Financial Trading Group International S.A. has the worst mobile app I have ever used for investing. It crashes constantly, features that work on desktop are missing entirely, and the security implementation is questionable at best. How they released this app is beyond me.
Pros: Wide product range|Excellent charting|Good analytical tools
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods
Financial Trading Group International S.A. 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: Multiple order types|Transparent fees|Great customer service
Cons: Limited ETF selection
The only good thing about Financial Trading Group International S.A. is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them after a friend recommended them. 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: Fast deposits|Easy withdrawals|Transparent fees
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague|Limited demo account features
My card was charged twice by Financial Trading Group International S.A. on the same day. I had to dispute it with my bank. Financial Trading Group International S.A. 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: Social trading features|Intuitive for beginners|Quick verification
Cons: Limited demo account features|Mobile app could be improved
My withdrawal from Financial Trading Group International S.A. was rejected three times for vague reasons. Each time they asked for more documents. When I finally provided everything, they said my account was under review. since the beginning of the year of being strung along.
Pros: Excellent charting|Customizable dashboard|Low minimum deposit
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists|Nothing significant
I signed up with Financial Trading Group International S.A. through word of mouth in my investment club 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: Dedicated account manager|Social trading features|Reliable uptime|Stable platform
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux
The so-called education at Financial Trading Group International S.A. is just marketing. Every webinar ends with a push to deposit more. The market analysis is generic and often wrong. If you want real education go elsewhere. I wasted for a few weeks now thinking they would help me learn.
Pros: API access|Tax reports included|Easy withdrawals|Good analytical tools
Cons: No live chat on mobile
Do not use Financial Trading Group International S.A. for anything serious. I used them for a few weeks now 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: Real-time alerts|Risk management tools|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods|Email notifications too frequent
