MetaInvest AI 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.
I had a dispute with MetaInvest AI 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: Excellent charting|Helpful community forum
Cons: Limited social trading features
The only good thing about MetaInvest AI is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them through a podcast recommendation. 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: Social trading features|Stable platform|Easy to use platform|Low minimum deposit
Cons: None so far
After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that MetaInvest AI 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: Withdrawal fees demanded|Communication cut off|Not authorized
I found this company through a friend who recommended it. Before investing, I checked various regulatory databases and found that MetaInvest AI 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.
Cons: Not registered with regulators|Unrealistic promises
After for close to eighteen months with MetaInvest AI, I can only describe the experience as death by a thousand cuts. No single issue was catastrophic, but the constant stream of small problems, slow responses, and missing features wore me down until I finally left.
Pros: Wide product range|Regular updates
Cons: Limited social trading features
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to MetaInvest AI. 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: High security standards|Competitive fees
Cons: Charting tools need more indicators|Desktop app not available on Linux
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: Flagged by international regulators|Due diligence required
I lost a significant amount because MetaInvest AI did not execute my stop loss during a flash crash. They said the market was illiquid. Other brokers managed to execute. I have no proof they did not trade against me. Avoid.
Pros: Segregated accounts|Competitive fees|Multiple order types
Cons: None so far
MetaInvest AI 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: Clear documentation|Multi-device support|Comprehensive tools|Tax reports included
Cons: Could offer more webinars|Nothing significant
After using MetaInvest AI for a few weeks now, 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: Real-time alerts|Multi-currency support|Stable platform|Personal attention
Cons: Email notifications too frequent|Mobile app could be improved
