Tengodex 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.
Tried to withdraw my funds from Tengodex and was told I needed to pay a "withdrawal tax" of 20%. This is a red flag. No legitimate broker charges withdrawal taxes. When I refused, they became aggressive and eventually stopped all communication. My entire investment is gone.
Pros: Initially responsive customer service
Cons: Withdrawal fees demanded|Communication cut off|Not authorized
I lost a significant amount because Tengodex did not execute my stop loss during a flash crash. They said the market was illiquid. Other brokers managed to execute. I have no proof they did not trade against me. Avoid.
Pros: Fast deposits|Good analytical tools
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux|Research section could be deeper
For anyone considering Tengodex, please be aware that this company has been flagged by Financial Markets Authority. This does not necessarily mean they are a scam, but it does mean they may not be authorized to operate in certain jurisdictions. I strongly recommend checking the official regulator website before making any investment decisions.
Pros: Information is publicly available for verification
Cons: Flagged by international regulators|Due diligence required
KYC with Tengodex is a nightmare. I submitted my ID and proof of address. They rejected it and asked for a utility bill. I sent it. They asked for a bank statement. Then they asked for a selfie with the ID. Then they said the selfie did not match. I gave up.
Pros: Tax reports included|Excellent charting|Full transparency|Responsive team
Cons: Search feature is basic
After using Tengodex for a couple of months now, 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: Helpful community forum|Quick verification|Dividend tracking|Clean UI
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists
I invested $5,000 with Tengodex after seeing their professional-looking website. At first, everything seemed fine - they showed me impressive returns on my dashboard. But when I tried to withdraw, they kept making excuses. First it was "processing time," then "verification needed," then "you need to pay a tax fee first." I never got my money back. I have since reported them to Financial Markets Authority.
Pros: Initially responsive customer service
Cons: Blocked my account|No legitimate license|Fake returns
Several red flags with Tengodex: (1) They promise unrealistically high returns, (2) They're not registered with Financial 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.
Cons: Not registered with regulators|Unrealistic promises
Do not believe the bonus offer from Tengodex. The turnover requirement is designed so you can never withdraw. I learned the hard way. I deposited after seeing their ad online and the bonus terms were buried in pages of small print. My fault for not reading but their design is predatory.
Pros: Helpful community forum|Intuitive for beginners|Dedicated account manager
Cons: Limited demo account features|Cannot customize dashboard fully
