GIFTEXTRADEFX 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.
GIFTEXTRADEFX has no proper customer support. The live chat is a bot. The phone number goes to a call center that cannot access your account. Email takes two weeks. When I had a real problem they were nowhere to be found.
Pros: Clean UI|Segregated accounts|Full transparency
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods|Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
I am in a dispute with GIFTEXTRADEFX over a trade that was clearly erroneous. The price shown was wrong, I closed at a profit, and they reversed the trade and took the money back. They said it was a system error. So I lose and they keep? Unacceptable.
Pros: Portfolio tracking tools|Educational resources|No hidden fees
Cons: Limited cryptocurrency options|Onboarding videos are outdated
After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that GIFTEXTRADEFX 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: Professional looking website
Cons: No regulatory oversight|Money disappeared|Fake testimonials
The spread at GIFTEXTRADEFX is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them after a friend recommended them and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.
Pros: Dividend tracking|Good analytical tools|Multi-device support
Cons: Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
This company appears on the IOSCO I-SCAN international warnings list. Over 68 financial regulators worldwide contribute to this database. While being listed doesn't automatically mean fraud, it's a significant red flag that potential investors should take seriously. Do your research thoroughly.
Pros: Information is publicly available for verification
Cons: Appears in regulatory warnings database|Uncertain regulatory status
Several red flags with GIFTEXTRADEFX: (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: Listed in warning databases|No transparency|Pressure to invest quickly
GIFTEXTRADEFX advertises low fees but once you dig into the fine print, there are numerous charges that add up quickly. Inactivity fees, withdrawal fees, currency conversion fees - it all eats into your returns. I wish I had read the terms more carefully.
Pros: Multi-device support|Comprehensive tools
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux|Nothing significant
Customer support at GIFTEXTRADEFX 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: Dedicated account manager|Low minimum deposit|Two-factor authentication|Fast deposits
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague
I gave GIFTEXTRADEFX a fair chance. After since the beginning of the year of usage, I can say with confidence that there are far better options available. The interface is clunky, the fees are higher than competitors, and the customer support team seems overwhelmed or understaffed.
Pros: Fast deposits|Professional team|Automated trading options
Cons: No phone support on weekends|Could offer more webinars
