Pros: Personal attention|Intuitive for beginners|Two-factor authentication|Demo account available
Cons: No dark mode on mobile|Limited demo account features
I referred a friend to YorkCG based on a colleague's recommendation. We both deposited. The referral bonus never arrived. Support said we did not meet the terms. When we asked which terms they pointed to a clause that was added after we signed up. Shady.
Pros: Great customer service|Educational resources|Professional team
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed|Mobile app could be improved
Where do I even begin with YorkCG? since last summer of broken promises, unanswered tickets, and a platform that feels like it was built in 2010. They spend more on marketing than on actually improving their service. Stay away from this company.
Pros: Good mobile app|Risk management tools|Tax reports included|Excellent charting
Cons: Slow to add new assets
After spending since I opened my account last year trying to make YorkCG work for me, I have given up. The platform has too many limitations, the fees are not competitive, and the quality of their market data is questionable. There are much better options available.
Pros: Tax reports included|Automated trading options
Cons: No integrated tax optimization|Currency conversion fee exists
If you are reading this considering YorkCG - run. I wish I had read more negative reviews through a podcast recommendation. I thought the positive ones were real. Maybe some are. My experience over for the past six months has been so bad I feel obligated to warn others. Do not make my mistake.
Pros: Transparent fees|Fast execution|Full transparency|Easy to use platform
Cons: Limited demo account features|Some tools only available on higher tiers
The reporting at YorkCG 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: Economic calendar|Low minimum deposit
Cons: Search feature is basic
My card was charged twice by YorkCG on the same day. I had to dispute it with my bank. YorkCG 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: Professional team|Educational resources|Portfolio tracking tools
Cons: Onboarding videos are outdated
