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!

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.

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.

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.
