INTLBTC has been flagged by Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores 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.
The platform at INTLBTC is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After for the past year and a half of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Market news feed|Good analytical tools
Cons: Limited ETF selection|Live chat only during business hours
I found INTLBTC from a blog post comparing services and the initial impression was positive. But for roughly four months later, I have encountered so many issues that I cannot recommend them. Trades failing, charts not loading, and support tickets going unanswered for days at a time.
Pros: Stable platform|Regular updates|Multi-device support
Cons: No live chat on mobile|Nothing significant
Their two-factor authentication was optional when I joined. I enabled it. Later I lost my phone and could not log in. INTLBTC recovery process took 3 weeks and required notarized documents. By then I had missed important trades. Their security is your inconvenience.
Pros: Dividend tracking|Good mobile app|Multiple order types|Detailed reporting
Cons: No dark mode on mobile|Search feature is basic
After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that INTLBTC 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.
Cons: Withdrawal fees demanded|Communication cut off|Not authorized
I was about to invest with INTLBTC but decided to check their regulatory status first. They claim to be regulated but I could not find them on any official register. Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores has actually issued a warning about this firm. Thank goodness I checked before sending any money.
Cons: Flagged by Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores|Cannot verify credentials
INTLBTC locked my account without warning and demanded documents I had already submitted. for over a year later I still do not have access to my funds. Their compliance team does not respond to emails. I am considering legal action.
Pros: Good analytical tools|Low minimum deposit|Instant funding
Cons: Slow to add new assets
Do not be fooled by the professional-looking website. Behind the scenes, INTLBTC is disorganized and incompetent. I found them after reading several online reviews and I can only assume the positive reviews are either outdated or paid for because my experience was terrible.
Pros: Multi-device support|Two-factor authentication|Easy to use platform|Multi-currency support
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours|Charting tools need more indicators
Do not use INTLBTC for anything serious. I used them for over a year for small trades and it was okay. When I deposited a larger amount and traded more, my account was flagged, my withdrawals were delayed, and I was asked to explain my trading. They treat active traders like criminals.
Pros: Fast deposits|Easy withdrawals
Cons: Limited ETF selection|Account statements could be more detailed
