www.startmarkets.com has been flagged by AMF (France) for "Unauthorised". Category: Forex 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.startmarkets.com.
My card was charged twice by www.startmarkets.com on the same day. I had to dispute it with my bank. www.startmarkets.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 deposits|Copy trading available|Fast execution|Low minimum deposit
Cons: No crypto staking|Email notifications too frequent
I opened an account with www.startmarkets.com for close to eighteen months ago. The platform frequently logs you out, orders fail to execute at the stated price, and when you complain they blame your internet connection. I have screenshots proving otherwise.
Pros: Regular updates|Personal attention|Two-factor authentication|Competitive fees
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months|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.startmarkets.com said it was market conditions. Same news, another broker filled me properly. They are not honest.
Pros: Great customer service|Low minimum deposit|Detailed reporting|Full transparency
Cons: Currency conversion fee exists
Do not use www.startmarkets.com for anything serious. I used them for over a 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: Helpful community forum|Dividend tracking|Multi-device support|Social trading features
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux|Website design could be more modern
I signed up with www.startmarkets.com after a trusted YouTuber reviewed them 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: Dedicated account manager|Wide product range|Comprehensive tools
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours
