Pros Phone support Live chat Fast response time
Cons Irrelevant and inconsistent answers, and an unprofessional tone on live chat.
Our Review
We have been testing FBS for over a year now and have absolutely no complains at all. Smooth connections. We did experience some glitches earlier but they’ve seems improved it.
Fast deposit even faster payout and a helpful customer service. A bit high spreads absolutely but i knew that upfront. Blown accounts absolutely because of my own stupidity and non money management. If you’re account is blown due to a 50 pip rise or fall of the price than you’re not trading forex but you’re a gambler.
Withdrawals (Skrill) never have taken longer than 30 minutes (fastest 5 minutes!). In our humble experience a very good broker and find it hard to believe that we are the only one with this experience.
- Great support.
- a lot of webinars and news.
- Less Commission.
- FBS lack of regulatory status in a major jurisdiction puts it at a disadvantage.
