Johnson Financial Consulting has the worst mobile app I have ever used for investing. It crashes constantly, features that work on desktop are missing entirely, and the security implementation is questionable at best. How they released this app is beyond me.
Pros: Great customer service|Portfolio tracking tools|Quick verification|No hidden fees
Cons: No phone support on weekends
Do not be fooled by the professional-looking website. Behind the scenes, Johnson Financial Consulting 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 I found them after reading several online reviews and I can only assume the positive reviews are either outdated or paid for because my experience was terrible.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: Helpful community forum|Real-time alerts|Low minimum deposit|Excellent charting
Cons: Minor UI glitches occasionally|Onboarding videos are outdated
I joined Johnson Financial Consulting while looking for alternatives to my previous provider and from the start, things felt off. The signup process collected far more personal information than necessary, the verification took unreasonably long, and when I finally got access, the platform was nothing like what was advertised.
Pros: Helpful community forum|Transparent fees|Multi-currency support|Multiple order types
Cons: Charting tools need more indicators|Alert system is basic
Do not believe the bonus offer from Johnson Financial Consulting. The turnover requirement is designed so you can never withdraw. I learned the hard way. I deposited through a forum discussion and the bonus terms were buried in pages of small print. My fault for not reading but their design is predatory.
Pros: Automated trading options|Economic calendar|Fast execution
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours|Charting tools need more indicators
I had a dispute with Johnson Financial Consulting and went to their complaints process. They have an internal team that just defends the company. Then they said I could go to an ombudsman - but the ombudsman they use is industry-funded and rarely rules for the client. The system is rigged.
Pros: Multi-currency support|Multi-device support|Stable platform|Two-factor authentication
Cons: Mobile app could be improved|Would like more payment methods
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to Johnson Financial Consulting. They said they do not accept in-kind transfers for my asset type. I had to sell, withdraw, deposit, and rebuy - incurring taxes and spread costs. They did not tell me this before I signed up.
Pros: Multi-currency support|Portfolio tracking tools|Great customer service|Competitive fees
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated
The only good thing about Johnson Financial Consulting is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them after attending a webinar they hosted. They are regulated in a jurisdiction with weak consumer protection. When things went wrong I had nowhere to turn. Stick to well-regulated brokers.
Pros: Clean UI|Multi-currency support|Regular updates|Personal attention
Cons: Live chat only during business hours|Research section could be deeper
I opened an account with Johnson Financial Consulting for about three months ago. The platform frequently logs you out, orders fail to execute at the stated price, and when you complain they blame your internet connection. I have screenshots proving otherwise.
Pros: Professional team|Market news feed|Easy withdrawals|Comprehensive tools
Cons: Minor UI glitches occasionally|Website design could be more modern
Johnson Financial Consulting seems more interested in acquiring new customers than taking care of existing ones. The marketing is aggressive but the product is mediocre. Once you are past the honeymoon period, the cracks in their service become very apparent.
Pros: Portfolio tracking tools|Excellent charting|Copy trading available|Personal attention
Cons: No fractional shares
The platform itself is okay, but the customer service at Johnson Financial Consulting 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: Two-factor authentication|API access
Cons: Live chat only during business hours
