Support is useless Support is useless. Service is fine as long as you have no problems. When you have a problem basically you get a response along the lines of Nothing we can do about it. Thank you for choosing Firstrade as your online broker. Well I'm moving my trades to another online broker.

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

Don't trust this company My funds are being locked for the whole day since pre-market hour as this company claims they are encountering issue to display the actual account value of some customers correctly. But the fact is the money in my account has currently disappeared and I have been unable to invest anything the whole day! I doubt where this company has taken their customers' funds to... No action is done so far and no response from their CS. Traders shouldn't use this company anymore. Imagine you can't sell or buy when you need / want to!

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.

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!
