Tried to withdraw my funds from Polaris Invest Ltd and was told I needed to pay a "withdrawal tax" of 20%. This is a red flag. No legitimate broker charges withdrawal taxes. When I refused, they became aggressive and eventually stopped all communication. My entire investment is gone.
Pros: Professional looking website
Cons: Lost entire investment|Reported to authorities|Unresponsive
Their execution during news is terrible. I had limit orders in place. When the news hit, my orders were not filled at the limit price - they were filled much worse. Polaris Invest Ltd said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.
Pros: Reliable uptime|Great customer service|Risk management tools|API access
Cons: No dark mode on mobile|Wait times can be long during peak hours
For anyone considering Polaris Invest Ltd, please be aware that this company has been flagged by Malta Financial Services Authority. This does not necessarily mean they are a scam, but it does mean they may not be authorized to operate in certain jurisdictions. I strongly recommend checking the official regulator website before making any investment decisions.
Cons: Listed in IOSCO I-SCAN|May not be authorized in your jurisdiction
Opened my account with Polaris Invest Ltd after reading several online reviews and regretted it within the first month. The platform crashed during a critical moment, I lost potential gains, and support basically told me it was not their problem. Absolutely unacceptable behavior.
Pros: Competitive fees|Helpful community forum|Dividend tracking
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed
