KYC with Total Access Trading Services Limited 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: Helpful community forum|Professional team
Cons: Slow to add new assets|Website design could be more modern
Total Access Trading Services Limited 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: Transparent fees|Regular platform improvements|Customizable dashboard
Cons: Live chat only during business hours|Wish they had more educational resources
Total Access Trading Services Limited had an outage that lasted several hours during a major market event. Not only did they fail to prevent it, but they also failed to communicate what was happening. We were left in the dark while our investments were at risk.
Pros: Educational resources|Economic calendar
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated|Some tools only available on higher tiers
Do not be fooled by the professional-looking website. Behind the scenes, Total Access Trading Services Limited is disorganized and incompetent. I found them from a blog post comparing services and I can only assume the positive reviews are either outdated or paid for because my experience was terrible.
Pros: Educational resources|Dedicated account manager|Full transparency
Cons: Limited ETF selection
Their two-factor authentication was optional when I joined. I enabled it. Later I lost my phone and could not log in. Total Access Trading Services Limited recovery process took 3 weeks and required notarized documents. By then I had missed important trades. Their security is your inconvenience.
Pros: Great customer service|Multi-device support|Educational resources|API access
Cons: Search feature is basic|Help articles are sometimes vague
The platform at Total Access Trading Services Limited is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After since I retired last year of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Competitive fees|Regular updates|Easy to use platform
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours
Customer support at Total Access Trading Services Limited 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: Regular updates|Easy withdrawals|Good analytical tools|Real-time alerts
Cons: No fractional shares
I requested my data from Total Access Trading Services Limited under GDPR. They sent a partial export that was missing months of transactions. When I asked for the rest they said it was a technical issue. Still waiting. They do not take data rights seriously.
Pros: Full transparency|Intuitive for beginners|Tax reports included|Demo account available
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers|Mobile app could be improved
I trusted Total Access Trading Services Limited with a significant portion of my savings and I deeply regret that decision. Not because of market losses, but because of how poorly the platform performed and how dismissively the support team treated my concerns.
Pros: Risk management tools|API access
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague|Could offer more webinars
The spread at Total Access Trading Services Limited is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them after reading several online reviews and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.
Pros: Economic calendar|Customizable dashboard
Cons: None so far|Spreads widen during volatile periods
