Gobenex

I found this company through a friend who recommended it. Before investing, I checked various regulatory databases and found that Gobenex has been flagged as an unauthorized entity. I informed my friend immediately. Please always verify with official sources - a quick search could save you thousands.

Gobenex had an outage that lasted several hours during a major market event. Not only did they fail to prevent it, but they also failed to communicate what was happening. We were left in the dark while our investments were at risk.

The platform itself is okay, but the customer service at Gobenex 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.

Their execution during news is terrible. I had limit orders in place. When the news hit, my orders were not filled at the limit price - they were filled much worse. Gobenex said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.

I trusted Gobenex 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.

Opened my account with Gobenex after my brother mentioned them and regretted it within the first month. The platform crashed during a critical moment, I lost potential gains, and support basically told me it was not their problem. Absolutely unacceptable behavior.

The spread at Gobenex is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them after comparing multiple platforms and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.

For anyone considering Gobenex, please be aware that this company has been flagged by Financial Markets Authority. This does not necessarily mean they are a scam, but it does mean they may not be authorized to operate in certain jurisdictions. I strongly recommend checking the official regulator website before making any investment decisions.

Tried to withdraw my funds from Gobenex 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.

After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that Gobenex 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.
