Orvian Trade 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 want to warn everyone about Orvian Trade. 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.
Cons: Cannot withdraw funds|Not regulated|Pressure tactics
If you are reading this considering Orvian Trade - run. I wish I had read more negative reviews after seeing their ad online. I thought the positive ones were real. Maybe some are. My experience over for the past six months has been so bad I feel obligated to warn others. Do not make my mistake.
Pros: Market news feed|Segregated accounts|Instant funding
Cons: Limited demo account features|Email notifications too frequent
After seeing ads for Orvian Trade 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.
Pros: Website looks legitimate on the surface
Cons: Unauthorized firm|Found in IOSCO warnings database
KYC with Orvian Trade 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: Fast support response|Dividend tracking|Market news feed
Cons: Search feature is basic|Desktop app not available on Linux
The only good thing about Orvian Trade is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them while looking for alternatives to my previous provider. 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: Educational resources|Responsive team
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours
The platform at Orvian Trade is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After for over three years of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Low minimum deposit|Excellent charting
Cons: Minor UI glitches occasionally|No integrated tax optimization
I experienced a security concern with my Orvian Trade 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: Good analytical tools|Risk management tools
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed|Minor UI glitches occasionally
I have been trying to close my account with Orvian Trade for weeks now and they keep giving me the runaround. First it was a form to fill out, then identity verification again, then a mandatory phone call that never gets scheduled. They make leaving impossible.
Pros: Good mobile app|Full transparency
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague|Email notifications too frequent
I requested my data from Orvian Trade 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: Smooth onboarding|Demo account available
Cons: Limited demo account features|Website design could be more modern
The platform itself is okay, but the customer service at Orvian Trade 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: Automated trading options|Social trading features
Cons: Research section could be deeper
