GlobalWildStar has been flagged by Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority for "Other". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
After for about eight months with GlobalWildStar 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.
Pros: Demo account available|Regular platform improvements|No hidden fees
Cons: Limited social trading features|No fractional shares
I looked into GlobalWildStar and found they appear in the regulatory warnings database. Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority 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.
Pros: Information is publicly available for verification
Cons: Listed in IOSCO I-SCAN|May not be authorized in your jurisdiction
Tried to withdraw my funds from GlobalWildStar 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: Blocked my account|No legitimate license|Fake returns
The platform itself is okay, but the customer service at GlobalWildStar 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.
Pros: Easy withdrawals|Excellent charting
Cons: No live chat on mobile|Mobile app could be improved
GlobalWildStar 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: Customizable dashboard|Easy withdrawals|Detailed reporting|Instant funding
Cons: Could offer more webinars
Where do I even begin with GlobalWildStar? since mid-2025 of broken promises, unanswered tickets, and a platform that feels like it was built in 2010. They spend more on marketing than on actually improving their service. Stay away from this company.
Pros: Multiple order types|Smooth onboarding
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists
I want to warn everyone about GlobalWildStar. They have been flagged by Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority as an unauthorized entity. I wish I had checked before investing. They use high-pressure sales tactics and fake testimonials. Once you send money, getting it back is nearly impossible.
Cons: Cannot withdraw funds|Not regulated|Pressure tactics
GlobalWildStar 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: Real-time alerts|Good mobile app|Competitive fees
Cons: Research section could be deeper
The onboarding at GlobalWildStar was smooth which makes the subsequent experience even more frustrating. Once they have your money, the quality of service drops dramatically. Getting anyone to help you with an actual problem is nearly impossible.
Pros: Easy to use platform|Clean UI|Transparent fees|Educational resources
Cons: Mobile app could be improved|Email notifications too frequent
GlobalWildStar 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: Multiple order types|Quick verification
Cons: Limited social trading features|Currency conversion fee exists
