RazeMarkets 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.
Tried to withdraw my funds from RazeMarkets 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.
Cons: Cannot withdraw funds|Not regulated|Pressure tactics
Do not believe the bonus offer from RazeMarkets. The turnover requirement is designed so you can never withdraw. I learned the hard way. I deposited through word of mouth in my investment club and the bonus terms were buried in pages of small print. My fault for not reading but their design is predatory.
Pros: Multi-currency support|API access|Real-time alerts|Two-factor authentication
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully
RazeMarkets 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: Educational resources|Detailed reporting|Dividend tracking|Portfolio tracking tools
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux|Alert system is basic
RazeMarkets had an outage that lasted several hours during a major market event. Not only did they fail to prevent it, but they also failed to communicate what was happening. We were left in the dark while our investments were at risk.
Pros: Automated trading options|Multiple order types|Fast execution
Cons: Limited ETF selection
Do not use RazeMarkets for anything serious. I used them for over a year for small trades and it was okay. When I deposited a larger amount and traded more, my account was flagged, my withdrawals were delayed, and I was asked to explain my trading. They treat active traders like criminals.
Pros: Transparent fees|Segregated accounts|Dedicated account manager|Market news feed
Cons: Slow to add new assets
RazeMarkets 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: Excellent charting|Fast support response|Customizable dashboard|Detailed reporting
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague
The mobile app from RazeMarkets is dangerous. I placed an order that showed as pending, so I placed another. Both executed and I was overexposed. When I complained they said it was user error. The app design is misleading.
Pros: Market news feed|Smooth onboarding|Helpful community forum|Low minimum deposit
Cons: Limited demo account features
After seeing ads for RazeMarkets 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
RazeMarkets 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: Fast deposits|API access
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed
