Royal National Capital Alliance 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: Risk management tools|Excellent charting|Two-factor authentication|Real-time alerts
Cons: Could offer more webinars|Onboarding videos are outdated
My card was charged twice by Royal National Capital Alliance on the same day. I had to dispute it with my bank. Royal National Capital Alliance 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: Competitive fees|Clean UI|Multi-device support|Regular platform improvements
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague|No fractional shares
Royal National Capital Alliance 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: Real-time alerts|Responsive team|Easy to use platform
Cons: Would like more payment methods|Charting tools need more indicators
The only good thing about Royal National Capital Alliance is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them after reading several online reviews. 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: Excellent charting|Customizable dashboard
Cons: Limited ETF selection|Onboarding videos are outdated
Do not be fooled by the professional-looking website. Behind the scenes, Royal National Capital Alliance is disorganized and incompetent. I found them after a family member had a good experience and I can only assume the positive reviews are either outdated or paid for because my experience was terrible.
Pros: Dedicated account manager|Automated trading options
Cons: Could offer more webinars|No phone support on weekends
After since early this year with Royal National Capital Alliance, 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: Competitive fees|Low minimum deposit|Multiple order types|Easy withdrawals
Cons: Limited cryptocurrency options
The platform at Royal National Capital Alliance is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After for over a year of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Low minimum deposit|Dedicated account manager|No hidden fees
Cons: Alert system is basic
I had a dispute with Royal National Capital Alliance 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: Low minimum deposit|Multiple order types|No hidden fees
Cons: Research section could be deeper|No live chat on mobile
The spread at Royal National Capital Alliance is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them after a trusted YouTuber reviewed them and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.
Pros: Customizable dashboard|Economic calendar
Cons: Research section could be deeper|Wish they had more educational resources
I had high hopes for Royal National Capital Alliance through a forum discussion, but my experience has been disappointing. Customer support is slow, the platform has frequent issues, and their fee structure is not as transparent as advertised. I am actively looking for alternatives now.
Pros: Customizable dashboard|Fast execution|Stable platform
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods|Desktop app not available on Linux
