Have used the broker more than a year… Have used the broker more than a year as a international costumer, almost never had issues. Very professional and good broker. Did withdraw money 2 times without any issues, did receive my Money within 2 days. That’s better than my local broker. Highly recommend. Don’t understand all these negative reviews!

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.

This is the worst place you can park… This is the worst place you can park your money. The company is a corrupt scam. They take your money with pleasure, but when you ask to withdraw money....OMG. It took me two weeks and a huge favor from my local bank, with which I have a 20 year relationship to get my money out of this hell-hole. Do not use this company. You will regret it.

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!

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.
