WhalesHub has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
I requested my data from WhalesHub 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: API access|Fast execution|Tax reports included
Cons: Minor UI glitches occasionally
Tried to withdraw my funds from WhalesHub 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: Cannot withdraw funds|Not regulated|Pressure tactics
After seeing ads for WhalesHub online, I investigated. The company is listed in the IOSCO I-SCAN warnings database and has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority. Their website looks professional but that means nothing - many scam operations invest heavily in appearance. Always check the regulatory warnings before investing.
Cons: Flagged by Financial Conduct Authority|Cannot verify credentials
WhalesHub offers copy trading. I copied a top trader. The copy trades often executed at worse prices than the original. When I asked why they said it was due to latency and liquidity. So the feature is broken or they are skimming. Either way I stopped using it.
Pros: Quick verification|Excellent charting|Great customer service|Customizable dashboard
Cons: Mobile app could be improved
WhalesHub 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: Two-factor authentication|Personal attention|Wide product range|Clear documentation
Cons: Limited demo account features
The reporting at WhalesHub is laughably bad. Tax documents are inaccurate, transaction histories have gaps, and trying to export data for your accountant is a nightmare. For a financial platform, getting the numbers right should be the bare minimum.
Pros: Copy trading available|Demo account available
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
I invested $2,000 with WhalesHub 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 Conduct Authority.
Pros: Professional looking website
Cons: No regulatory oversight|Money disappeared|Fake testimonials
I looked into WhalesHub and found they appear in the regulatory warnings database. Financial Conduct 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.
Cons: Appears in regulatory warnings database|Uncertain regulatory status
The spread at WhalesHub is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them when my bank disappointed me and I searched for alternatives and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.
Pros: Fast support response|Social trading features|Educational resources|Excellent charting
Cons: Slow to add new assets|No phone support on weekends
The mobile app from WhalesHub is dangerous. I placed an order that showed as pending, so I placed another. Both executed and I was overexposed. When I complained they said it was user error. The app design is misleading.
Pros: Risk management tools|Fast execution
Cons: Nothing significant
