www.directco-invest.com has been flagged by AMF (France) for "Unauthorised". Category: Produits_dérivés_sur_crypto-actifs This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm. Website domain: www.directco-invest.com.
After using www.directco-invest.com for nearly two years, 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: Risk management tools|Reliable uptime|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Website design could be more modern|Wait times can be long during peak hours
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to www.directco-invest.com. They said they do not accept in-kind transfers for my asset type. I had to sell, withdraw, deposit, and rebuy - incurring taxes and spread costs. They did not tell me this before I signed up.
Pros: Multi-currency support|Personal attention|Regular updates|Real-time alerts
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
I signed up with www.directco-invest.com after seeing their ad online 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: Full transparency|Copy trading available
Cons: No crypto staking|Help articles are sometimes vague
The hidden fees at www.directco-invest.com are the real scandal here. What they advertise and what they actually charge are two different things. By the time I realized how much I was paying in various fees and spreads, I had already lost a meaningful amount.
Pros: Fast deposits|Fast support response|Responsive team|Segregated accounts
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists
www.directco-invest.com 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: Reliable uptime|Social trading features|Great customer service|Detailed reporting
Cons: Alert system is basic|Slow to add new assets
The only good thing about www.directco-invest.com is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them through a financial advisor. They are regulated in a jurisdiction with weak consumer protection. When things went wrong I had nowhere to turn. Stick to well-regulated brokers.
Pros: Comprehensive tools|Full transparency|Responsive team
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague|Alert system is basic
Customer support at www.directco-invest.com 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: Portfolio tracking tools|Tax reports included|Personal attention
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully|Limited cryptocurrency options
I trusted www.directco-invest.com 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: Reliable uptime|Professional team
Cons: No fractional shares
I lost a significant amount because www.directco-invest.com 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 support response|Multi-currency support
Cons: Research section could be deeper|Would like more payment methods
The platform at www.directco-invest.com 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: Good mobile app|Regular platform improvements
Cons: Limited demo account features
