Just now, WikiFX received another exposure from an investor in the United States, who said that the trader could not withdraw money for various reasons with Charles Schwab platform. Here is a screenshot of his remarks.
Actually, we received many requests from investors for help from WikiFX, they complaint that Charles Schwab is a totally fraud while some of investors trust it‘s reliable and convincible. Is Charles Schwab safe broker? Let’s do some research before we comment.
About Charles Schwab
Registered in the United States, Charles Schwab is brokerage firm, offering an array of trading options in the global markets, including Forex, Commodities, Indices, Stocks and more.
To be a legal and professional broker in the United States, the broker first needs to be regulated and authorized by a U.S. financial institution- the National Futures Association(NFA). Hereby, WikiFX made an attempt to visit the NFA's official website.
As can be seen from the screenshot of search results above, there is a search result about“Charles Schwab Corporation The,” but it is no related with Charles Schwab, and this firm is also not a member of the NFA.
It turns out that the company is neither a member of nor regulated by the NFA. This point just shows that Charles Schwab has a high risk of trading, and it is illegal to engage in any financial activity that is not regulated by the National Futures Association(NFA). Dealing with an unlicensed broker means you will not be entitled to any protection from the National Futures Association(NFA) in the United States.
In addition, WikiFX made an attempt to visit the brokers official website to find out more information(https://ww38.charlesforex.com/index.html)
But to my surprise, the site is completely anonymous, with no useful information other than three blue ICONS. This is absolutely nonsense as the UK does not allow any anonymous websites to offer financial products and services. Without access to the official website, we cannot know more about their basic information, such as software information and transaction conditions, let alone judge whether their regulations meet the standards of the financial industry. But such a humble website shows that Charles Schwab is running some sort of scam . Charles Schwab might have gone bankrupt and running away with investors money!
When faced with the little information on Internet, we can totally trust and use WikiFX to learn more about forex broker. It is certainly the most convenient and quick inquiry mode for ordinary investors. Now let's search “ Charles Schwab ” on WikiFX APP to find out more about this broker.
As you can see, based on information given on WikiFX(https://www.wikifx.com/en/dealer/1038300926.html), Charles Schwab currently has no valid regulatory license and the score is rather negative - only 1.26/10! WikiFX will give brokers a composite score in five categories: license index, business index, risk control index, software index and regulatory index. Since Charles Schwab does not have any supervision and does not obtain a regulatory license, the license index, risk control index and regulatory index all score 0, and the final total score is 1.26 (out of 10). Investors can see the overall situation through WikiFX, with higher scores indicating a more reliable broker.
