Starkivo (https://starkivo.com) has been flagged by ASIC (Australia) for "Unlicensed". Addresses: 121 King St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm. Website domain: starkivo.com.
I found Starkivo (https://starkivo.com) after a trusted YouTuber reviewed them 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: Market news feed|Social trading features|Clean UI|Fast execution
Cons: Slow to add new assets|Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
I signed up with Starkivo (https://starkivo.com) from a blog post comparing services 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: No hidden fees|API access
Cons: No fractional shares
After for over three years with Starkivo (https://starkivo.com), 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: Market news feed|Personal attention|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: No dark mode on mobile|No fractional shares
Their execution during news is terrible. I had limit orders in place. When the news hit, my orders were not filled at the limit price - they were filled much worse. Starkivo (https://starkivo.com) said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.
Pros: Transparent fees|Fast support response|Good mobile app|Reliable uptime
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux
My withdrawal request from Starkivo (https://starkivo.com) has been pending for over two weeks now. Every time I contact support, I get the same copy-paste response about processing times. This is unacceptable for a financial platform in this day and age.
Pros: Segregated accounts|Good analytical tools|Detailed reporting|Fast support response
Cons: Minimum deposit could be lower
