NorthBridge FX 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.
The hidden fees at NorthBridge 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: Low minimum deposit|Two-factor authentication|Fast execution|API access
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated|No live chat on mobile
After seeing ads for NorthBridge FX online, I investigated. The company is listed in the IOSCO I-SCAN warnings database and has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority. Their website looks professional but that means nothing - many scam operations invest heavily in appearance. Always check the regulatory warnings before investing.
Cons: Not registered with regulators|Unrealistic promises
NorthBridge FX 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: Helpful community forum|Risk management tools|Professional team
Cons: Live chat only during business hours|Search feature is basic
The onboarding at NorthBridge FX was smooth which makes the subsequent experience even more frustrating. Once they have your money, the quality of service drops dramatically. Getting anyone to help you with an actual problem is nearly impossible.
Pros: Social trading features|Clear documentation
Cons: No live chat on mobile|Limited ETF selection
I gave NorthBridge FX a fair chance. After for over three years of usage, I can say with confidence that there are far better options available. The interface is clunky, the fees are higher than competitors, and the customer support team seems overwhelmed or understaffed.
Pros: Competitive fees|Easy withdrawals|Portfolio tracking tools|Social trading features
Cons: Email notifications too frequent|Live chat only during business hours
I want to warn everyone about NorthBridge FX. They have been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority as an unauthorized entity. I wish I had checked before investing. They use high-pressure sales tactics and fake testimonials. Once you send money, getting it back is nearly impossible.
Pros: Initially responsive customer service
Cons: Cannot withdraw funds|Not regulated|Pressure tactics
NorthBridge FX offers copy trading. I copied a top trader. The copy trades often executed at worse prices than the original. When I asked why they said it was due to latency and liquidity. So the feature is broken or they are skimming. Either way I stopped using it.
Pros: Clean UI|Fast deposits|Easy withdrawals
Cons: Mobile app could be improved
KYC with NorthBridge FX is a nightmare. I submitted my ID and proof of address. They rejected it and asked for a utility bill. I sent it. They asked for a bank statement. Then they asked for a selfie with the ID. Then they said the selfie did not match. I gave up.
Pros: Clear documentation|Transparent fees|Multi-device support|Fast support response
Cons: Limited demo account features
The platform itself is okay, but the customer service at NorthBridge FX 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: Regular platform improvements|Professional team
Cons: Limited ETF selection|Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
The reporting at NorthBridge FX is laughably bad. Tax documents are inaccurate, transaction histories have gaps, and trying to export data for your accountant is a nightmare. For a financial platform, getting the numbers right should be the bare minimum.
Pros: Regular platform improvements|Good analytical tools
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers|Mobile app could be improved
