Paribas Group (Imposter) has been flagged by Financial Markets Authority for "Registered/Licensed entity impersonators|Fraud and Other Types of Misconduct". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
The only good thing about Paribas Group (Imposter) is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them after hearing about them at a conference. 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: Portfolio tracking tools|Regular platform improvements
Cons: Live chat only during business hours|No phone support on weekends
Where do I even begin with Paribas Group (Imposter)? since I retired last 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: Risk management tools|Social trading features
Cons: Email notifications too frequent|Limited demo account features
Paribas Group (Imposter) 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: Comprehensive tools|High security standards|Great customer service|Personal attention
Cons: No dark mode on mobile
The platform at Paribas Group (Imposter) is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After for roughly four months of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: High security standards|Detailed reporting
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague
I want to warn everyone about Paribas Group (Imposter). They have been flagged by Financial Markets 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
I trusted Paribas Group (Imposter) 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: Quick verification|Low minimum deposit|Portfolio tracking tools|Good analytical tools
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists
My card was charged twice by Paribas Group (Imposter) on the same day. I had to dispute it with my bank. Paribas Group (Imposter) then froze my account and said I had a negative balance because of the chargeback. They created the problem and then punished me for it.
Pros: Excellent charting|Regular platform improvements
Cons: Limited cryptocurrency options
I closed a profitable position at Paribas Group (Imposter) and the profit was not credited for 5 days. Support said it was a settlement delay. When it finally arrived it was less than the amount shown on the platform. They could not explain the difference. I have moved my account.
Pros: Economic calendar|Multiple order types|Personal attention|Responsive team
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
I found Paribas Group (Imposter) through a forum discussion and the initial impression was positive. But for about five months 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: Professional team|Segregated accounts|Portfolio tracking tools
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers
Paribas Group (Imposter) 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: High security standards|Excellent charting|Competitive fees|Regular platform improvements
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|Slow to add new assets
