www.plcbarclays.com has been flagged by AMF (France) for "Unauthorised". Category: Crypto-actifs|Usurpation 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.plcbarclays.com.
The hidden fees at www.plcbarclays.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: Detailed reporting|Fast support response|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated|Could offer more webinars
Do not believe the bonus offer from www.plcbarclays.com. The turnover requirement is designed so you can never withdraw. I learned the hard way. I deposited after comparing multiple platforms and the bonus terms were buried in pages of small print. My fault for not reading but their design is predatory.
Pros: Professional team|Risk management tools|Customizable dashboard|Low minimum deposit
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers
The onboarding at www.plcbarclays.com was smooth which makes the subsequent experience even more frustrating. Once they have your money, the quality of service drops dramatically. Getting anyone to help you with an actual problem is nearly impossible.
Pros: Competitive fees|Two-factor authentication|Real-time alerts
Cons: No live chat on mobile|Charting tools need more indicators
Do not use www.plcbarclays.com for anything serious. I used them since early this year for small trades and it was okay. When I deposited a larger amount and traded more, my account was flagged, my withdrawals were delayed, and I was asked to explain my trading. They treat active traders like criminals.
Pros: API access|High security standards
Cons: Limited demo account features|No crypto staking
I requested my data from www.plcbarclays.com 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: Intuitive for beginners|Stable platform|Demo account available|Real-time alerts
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers
If you are reading this considering www.plcbarclays.com - run. I wish I had read more negative reviews after reading several online reviews. I thought the positive ones were real. Maybe some are. My experience over for a couple of months now has been so bad I feel obligated to warn others. Do not make my mistake.
Pros: Risk management tools|Automated trading options
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists
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. www.plcbarclays.com said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.
Pros: Two-factor authentication|Regular platform improvements|Risk management tools|Portfolio tracking tools
Cons: Charting tools need more indicators|No fractional shares
My card was charged twice by www.plcbarclays.com on the same day. I had to dispute it with my bank. www.plcbarclays.com then froze my account and said I had a negative balance because of the chargeback. They created the problem and then punished me for it.
Pros: Fast support response|Fast execution|API access|Tax reports included
Cons: Research section could be deeper
Customer support at www.plcbarclays.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: Dedicated account manager|Social trading features|Easy to use platform|Fast deposits
Cons: Would like more payment methods|Minor UI glitches occasionally
I trusted www.plcbarclays.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: Customizable dashboard|Easy withdrawals
Cons: No phone support on weekends
