ForexFaro 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. Website domain: N/A.
My withdrawal request from ForexFaro has been pending for over two weeks now. Every time I contact support, I get the same copy-paste response about processing times. This is unacceptable for a financial platform in this day and age.
Pros: Full transparency|Demo account available|Low minimum deposit|Excellent charting
Cons: None so far
Several red flags with ForexFaro: (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: Unauthorized firm|Found in IOSCO warnings database
After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that ForexFaro 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.
Pros: Initially responsive customer service
Cons: Cannot withdraw funds|Not regulated|Pressure tactics
The only good thing about ForexFaro 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: Excellent charting|Segregated accounts|Regular platform improvements|Easy to use platform
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|Live chat only during business hours
