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!

I signed up 2 weeks ago I signed up 2 weeks ago, but having a problem connecting bank account with major institution. In addition, I had a problem with employment verification, and it took 45 minutes via phone to get help. That was resolved, but now I can't fund my account. I sent an email 2 days ago, but still waiting for response. That being said, I have not used the trading platform yet, but if I have a problem, I'm assured a very long wait time. Maybe the delay in funding will give me some time to research the competition a bit more.

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.

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!
