FX273 has been flagged by Central Bank of Ireland 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 referred a friend to FX273 through my accountant's suggestion. We both deposited. The referral bonus never arrived. Support said we did not meet the terms. When we asked which terms they pointed to a clause that was added after we signed up. Shady.
Pros: No hidden fees|Social trading features
Cons: No phone support on weekends
I invested $500 with FX273 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 Central Bank of Ireland.
Pros: Initially responsive customer service
Cons: No regulatory oversight|Money disappeared|Fake testimonials
I was about to invest with FX273 but decided to check their regulatory status first. They claim to be regulated but I could not find them on any official register. Central Bank of Ireland has actually issued a warning about this firm. Thank goodness I checked before sending any money.
Cons: Unauthorized firm|Found in IOSCO warnings database
If you are reading this considering FX273 - run. I wish I had read more negative reviews through word of mouth in my investment club. I thought the positive ones were real. Maybe some are. My experience over for about ten months has been so bad I feel obligated to warn others. Do not make my mistake.
Pros: Real-time alerts|Good analytical tools|Demo account available
Cons: Alert system is basic|None so far
I looked into FX273 and found they appear in the regulatory warnings database. Central Bank of Ireland 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.
Cons: Appears in regulatory warnings database|Uncertain regulatory status
Tried to withdraw my funds from FX273 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.
Pros: Professional looking website
Cons: No regulatory oversight|Money disappeared|Fake testimonials
I trusted FX273 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: Educational resources|Wide product range|API access|Low minimum deposit
Cons: No fractional shares|Spreads widen during volatile periods
