Snellening has been flagged by Financial Services and Markets Authority for "Fraud and Other Types of Misconduct". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
Several red flags with Snellening: (1) They promise unrealistically high returns, (2) They're not registered with Financial Services and Markets Authority, (3) Their contact information is vague, (4) They pressure you to deposit quickly. I recommend everyone do thorough due diligence before investing with any company.
Pros: Website looks legitimate on the surface
Cons: Listed in warning databases|No transparency|Pressure to invest quickly
After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that Snellening is not authorized by any legitimate financial regulator. They are operating illegally. The website looks very professional but it's all a facade. Please check the regulatory warnings database before investing with ANY company.
Cons: Lost entire investment|Reported to authorities|Unresponsive
I was contacted by Snellening through social media. They promised guaranteed returns of 20-30% monthly. Being naive, I invested. The "account manager" pressured me to invest more and more. When I finally tried to take profit, my account was frozen and they stopped responding. Classic Ponzi/advance fee fraud.
Cons: Lost entire investment|Reported to authorities|Unresponsive
Do not use Snellening for anything serious. I used them since early this 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: Educational resources|Multiple order types|Social trading features|Customizable dashboard
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|Desktop app not available on Linux
I looked into Snellening and found they appear in the regulatory warnings database. Financial Services and Markets Authority has issued a notice about this firm. Whether this is a misunderstanding or a serious concern, the fact remains that proper due diligence is essential. Always verify the regulatory status of any company before investing your hard-earned money.
Pros: Information is publicly available for verification
Cons: Flagged by international regulators|Due diligence required
Customer support at Snellening seems to be run by people who have never used the platform. Every time I call with an issue, I end up explaining how their own system works before they can help me. It would be funny if my money was not involved.
Pros: Fast execution|Reliable uptime
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
