MARINO FX has been flagged by Securities and Exchange Commission 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. Website domain: https://marinoxchange.com/.
The hidden fees at MARINO FX are the real scandal here. What they advertise and what they actually charge are two different things. By the time I realized how much I was paying in various fees and spreads, I had already lost a meaningful amount.
Pros: Smooth onboarding|Tax reports included
Cons: Alert system is basic
After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that MARINO FX 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: Initially responsive customer service
Cons: No regulatory oversight|Money disappeared|Fake testimonials
I experienced a security concern with my MARINO FX account and reported it immediately. Their response time was inexcusable for a financial platform. It took them four days to acknowledge my report and another week to actually address it.
Pros: Multi-device support|Clear documentation|Wide product range
Cons: Slow to add new assets
The so-called education at MARINO FX is just marketing. Every webinar ends with a push to deposit more. The market analysis is generic and often wrong. If you want real education go elsewhere. I wasted since mid-2025 thinking they would help me learn.
Pros: Fast execution|Fast deposits|Customizable dashboard
Cons: Charting tools need more indicators
I requested my data from MARINO FX under GDPR. They sent a partial export that was missing months of transactions. When I asked for the rest they said it was a technical issue. Still waiting. They do not take data rights seriously.
Pros: Demo account available|Professional team|Full transparency
Cons: Alert system is basic|Minor UI glitches occasionally
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. MARINO FX said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.
Pros: Automated trading options|Multi-currency support|Dedicated account manager
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods
I found MARINO FX after hearing about them at a conference and the initial impression was positive. But since I retired last year 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: Market news feed|Low minimum deposit
Cons: No dark mode on mobile|Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
Where do I even begin with MARINO FX? since the beginning of the year 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: Dividend tracking|Professional team|Clear documentation|Smooth onboarding
Cons: Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
I was about to invest with MARINO FX but decided to check their regulatory status first. They claim to be regulated but I could not find them on any official register. Securities and Exchange Commission has actually issued a warning about this firm. Thank goodness I checked before sending any money.
Pros: Website looks legitimate on the surface
Cons: Not registered with regulators|Unrealistic promises
MARINO FX 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.
Pros: Instant funding|Regular updates|Economic calendar
Cons: Search feature is basic
