Meridian Capitals has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority 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: www.meridiancapitaltrades.com.
Meridian Capitals 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: High security standards|Copy trading available|Fast execution|Easy withdrawals
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|Would like more payment methods
Meridian Capitals 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: Dedicated account manager|Social trading features
Cons: No dark mode on mobile|Some tools only available on higher tiers
I signed up with Meridian Capitals after seeing their ad online and the first red flag was the aggressive account manager who would not stop calling. After depositing, the promised support vanished. Withdrawals are delayed with endless excuses. I have reported them to the regulator.
Pros: Full transparency|Educational resources|API access|No hidden fees
Cons: No crypto staking|Could offer more webinars
After spending for about three months trying to make Meridian Capitals work for me, I have given up. The platform has too many limitations, the fees are not competitive, and the quality of their market data is questionable. There are much better options available.
Pros: Wide product range|Good mobile app
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months|Account statements could be more detailed
I was contacted by Meridian Capitals through social media. They promised guaranteed returns of 20-30% monthly. Being naive, I invested. The "account manager" pressured me to invest more and more. When I finally tried to take profit, my account was frozen and they stopped responding. Classic Ponzi/advance fee fraud.
Cons: Lost entire investment|Reported to authorities|Unresponsive
After using Meridian Capitals for over three years, I decided to move my account elsewhere. The platform was unreliable, withdrawals took an unreasonable amount of time, and I could never get a straight answer from customer service. Frustrating experience overall.
Pros: Multi-device support|Regular platform improvements|Portfolio tracking tools
Cons: Minimum deposit could be lower|Account statements could be more detailed
The platform at Meridian Capitals is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After for about three months of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Customizable dashboard|Educational resources
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed|Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
This company appears on the IOSCO I-SCAN international warnings list. Over 68 financial regulators worldwide contribute to this database. While being listed doesn't automatically mean fraud, it's a significant red flag that potential investors should take seriously. Do your research thoroughly.
Cons: Appears in regulatory warnings database|Uncertain regulatory status
Meridian Capitals 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: Customizable dashboard|Two-factor authentication|Responsive team
Cons: Mobile app could be improved
I trusted Meridian Capitals 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.
Pros: Reliable uptime|Tax reports included|Fast deposits
Cons: Mobile app could be improved
