I had a dispute with Rive Financial SA and went to their complaints process. They have an internal team that just defends the company. Then they said I could go to an ombudsman - but the ombudsman they use is industry-funded and rarely rules for the client. The system is rigged.
Pros: Smooth onboarding|Quick verification|Transparent fees
Cons: Slow to add new assets|Alert system is basic
If you are reading this considering Rive Financial SA - run. I wish I had read more negative reviews based on a colleague's recommendation. I thought the positive ones were real. Maybe some are. My experience over since mid-2025 has been so bad I feel obligated to warn others. Do not make my mistake.
Pros: Two-factor authentication|Easy withdrawals|Customizable dashboard|Quick verification
Cons: Search feature is basic
The onboarding at Rive Financial SA 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: High security standards|Low minimum deposit|Dedicated account manager|Demo account available
Cons: Limited social trading features
The so-called education at Rive Financial SA is just marketing. Every webinar ends with a push to deposit more. The market analysis is generic and often wrong. If you want real education go elsewhere. I wasted for about eight months thinking they would help me learn.
Pros: Fast support response|Multi-currency support|Multiple order types|Two-factor authentication
Cons: Research section could be deeper|Onboarding videos are outdated
Rive Financial SA 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: Full transparency|Responsive team|Fast deposits
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists|Email notifications too frequent
Rive Financial SA advertises low fees but once you dig into the fine print, there are numerous charges that add up quickly. Inactivity fees, withdrawal fees, currency conversion fees - it all eats into your returns. I wish I had read the terms more carefully.
Pros: Social trading features|Easy to use platform|Instant funding|Fast execution
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully
I signed up with Rive Financial SA from a review site like this one and the first red flag was the aggressive account manager who would not stop calling. After depositing, the promised support vanished. Withdrawals are delayed with endless excuses. I have reported them to the regulator.
Pros: Multi-device support|Regular platform improvements
Cons: No live chat on mobile
Rive Financial SA seems more interested in acquiring new customers than taking care of existing ones. The marketing is aggressive but the product is mediocre. Once you are past the honeymoon period, the cracks in their service become very apparent.
Pros: Regular updates|Detailed reporting|Full transparency|Copy trading available
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources|Limited social trading features
