Worst Brokerage Ever !!! I initiated ACAT out to transfer my positions to IKBR. They have rejected twice in 2 weeks. First rejection was about tax id mismatch between Firstrade and IBKR. I told that I am a nonresident international investor and do not have a US tax id. How could tax ids mismatch while I am not having one? That's ridiculous. The second rejection had no reason at all. I have filed a complaint with both SEC and FINRA.

Avoid! Their customer service sucks Don’t expect any customer service. No one bothers to provide any assistance. Representatives decided what/who to respond. They don’t reply any emails weeks after they were sent. Avoid funding the account if you already have signed up or you risk freezing your assets for 2 weeks before they can be transferred to another broker. Unprofessional!

Requested documentation sent, STILL not enough! I send all the requested documentation, send the documentation again, and they won't let me withdraw my funds. I moved into a new home, provided the documentation as requested, and they deny my address change. I send more documentation, speak to the same customer rep twice, Mr. C, regarding the matter and was told the docs were not enough. SEC, here I come!

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.

I really enjoy using Firstrade I really enjoy using Firstrade. Especially I didn’t encounter any app down time during trading in these days while I heard my friends did experience app down when using other broker’s platform to trade. What else I can say, I love Firstrade!
