This has been a terrible scam, wasting both my time and money. I found that they don't allow withdrawals. My profile photo was used to secure the funds

DO NOT RECOMMEND!! Firstrade as an online broker, does the basics you would expect of others. Downside is the sky high charges for every fund transfer you make out of the account. Crazy fees if you decide to leave them.. So essentially they get you in claiming that they charge no fees on transactions, but this is for buying and selling stocks. Otherwise they use their fees to ensure you are locked in with them forever, and also your money is!!

Apps Malfunctioned for Hours, affecting customer's trades.

Crooks, will not let withdrawals go through, they take money in but dont allow withdrawal. Have way more than enough settled funds available for withdrawal they reject it anyway.

Agree with previous posts. You can hardly withdraw your funds from there. They ask you many questions and many blockings when you tried to withdraw your funds. It takes forever and especially if you have different time zone. Think twice.

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.

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

My overall experience was medium. Several times they ignored my emails or answered answers that have nothing to do with what I wrote. When I talked to them about Withdrawal I saw that they start asking for all kinds of illogical things and become unpleasant. So I realized I wasn't going to stay with them. In the end transfer was fine. Most of their representatives are very professional and kind I must say, the problem in my opinion is in the "back office". They must improve their service there. They must immediately allow those who want to withdraw their money without asking questions and without asking for anything (it didn't happen to me, but I read too many negative comments on this subject). I personally did not feel at ease that my money would be with them so I decided to move Hope they improve in the future
