Hinky, Avoid. Provided customer background, identity check, more than enough financial assets, lots of experience. Financial economist profession. Have never been denied brokerage in half century of investing. Was denied opening account, in e-mail that also wanted to know if I were related to named powerful public officials. No denial reason given even on written request. Something very wrong here, stay away from.

My overall experience was medium My overall experience was medium. Several times they ignored my emails or answered answers that have nothing to do with what I wrote. When I talked to them about Withdrawal I saw that they start asking for all kinds of illogical things and become unpleasant. So I realized I wasn't going to stay with them. In the end transfer was fine. Most of their representatives are very professional and kind I must say, the problem in my opinion is in the "back office". They must improve their service there. They must immediately allow those who want to withdraw their money without asking questions and without asking for anything (it didn't happen to me, but I read too many negative comments on this subject). I personally did not feel at ease that my money would be with them so I decided to move Hope they improve in the future

This company is a total fraud!! This company is a total fraud!!! They sat on my $50k withdrawl request for almost two weeks now. They will make all kinds of ridiculous excuses like they needed to verify my identity so I had to send them my driver’s license, bank statements and eventually did a three way call with my bank to verify what???? It’s all a bunch of stall tactics. I guess at this point I’ll need to ask them to reverse the ACH, contact the SEC and local police in Flushing, NY because they essentially have stolen $50k from me and won’t return the funds despite repeated requests

I want to give -5 Star They blocked my money more than 6 years now!!!! The worst company I ever seen. I sent all documents they asked a couple of times and still nothing. The best way to make trading impossible. As I'm NHS trust member no trust from this people. Luckily there is other platforms easy to verify your account. I using CMC market, IG and eToro.

Missing funds when withdrawal I have been using firstrade for 3 years and I have to close account due to compliance reason of my new job. I wired out all my fund and some of it is missing. My bank have no fees charged for remittance and firstrade denied any responsibility from their side. I'm now missing some of my funds. Never going back to Firstrade.
