RFI Trust has been flagged by Financial Markets Authority for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services|Fraud ...". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
After seeing ads for RFI Trust online, I investigated. The company is listed in the IOSCO I-SCAN warnings database and has been flagged by Financial Markets 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
I found RFI Trust from a review site like this one and the initial impression was positive. But since I retired last year 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: Smooth onboarding|Multi-currency support|Easy to use platform|Quick verification
Cons: Withdrawal takes 1-2 business days
RFI Trust 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: Multi-device support|Economic calendar
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists
I requested my data from RFI Trust 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: Stable platform|Multi-device support|Real-time alerts
Cons: No fractional shares
After using RFI Trust for over three years, I decided to move my account elsewhere. The platform was unreliable, withdrawals took an unreasonable amount of time, and I could never get a straight answer from customer service. Frustrating experience overall.
Pros: Risk management tools|Customizable dashboard|Two-factor authentication|Fast deposits
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|No live chat on mobile
The onboarding at RFI Trust 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: Risk management tools|Segregated accounts|Helpful community forum|Demo account available
Cons: Nothing significant
After for about ten months with RFI Trust, I can only describe the experience as death by a thousand cuts. No single issue was catastrophic, but the constant stream of small problems, slow responses, and missing features wore me down until I finally left.
Pros: Multi-device support|Social trading features|Professional team|Comprehensive tools
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources|Alert system is basic
I referred a friend to RFI Trust after my brother mentioned them. We both deposited. The referral bonus never arrived. Support said we did not meet the terms. When we asked which terms they pointed to a clause that was added after we signed up. Shady.
Pros: Intuitive for beginners|Responsive team|Comprehensive tools
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated
The mobile app from RFI Trust 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: Multi-currency support|Intuitive for beginners|Regular platform improvements|Fast deposits
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed
Do not believe the bonus offer from RFI Trust. The turnover requirement is designed so you can never withdraw. I learned the hard way. I deposited after a trusted YouTuber reviewed them and the bonus terms were buried in pages of small print. My fault for not reading but their design is predatory.
Pros: Good mobile app|Intuitive for beginners|Portfolio tracking tools|Two-factor authentication
Cons: Alert system is basic
