Started trading with this broker since Jan 2025. When I wanted to withdraw profits in end of May 2025, they delayed by making me go round a wild goose chase. Told me that they have transferred to my bank [purposely insisted on transferring to my bank's intermediary bank account]. Then making me get an official letter from my bank stating not receiving the transfer in order for AvaTrade to do investigation on their end. After a month's back and forth with my bank and AvaTrade, I uncovered the truth: 1. AvaTrade never processed my withdrawal, it was still with them. 2. AvaTrade confused themselves when they made a typo error in the alleged "bank transfer statement" which never happened. 3. After I called out the error, they processed my request very quickly [within the next hour]. 4. After they have realized that they can't withhold my funds, they deducted my profits almost 80% by an excuse of "due to trading practices", and they have only "discovered" it when I insisted to withdraw fully to close my account. What a scam!
Aug 10, 2025 - 1 Star My account with AvaTrade: 89219093
1. Started trading after initial deposit on 22Jan2025 [EUR3500] 2. Initiated a partial withdrawal on 16May2025 [EUR4302.46] 3. AvaTrade rejected withdrawal on 19May2025: reason of not the bank I used to make a deposit 4. Checked with my bank and confirmed with AvaTrade on the details, the bank that AvaTrade supposedly acknowledged was an intermediary of my bank, so I made a new withdrawal request on 29May2025. 5. For over more than a month, AvaTrade insisted they had processed my withdrawal, and insisted to check with my bank, which I did on multiple rounds [almost daily basis] and even physically visited my bank to enquire, my bank said they did not receive anything from AvaTrade. AvaTrade insisted to get a formal letter from my bank to state non-receipt of the withdrawal for AvaTrade to do an investigation, which of course AvaTrade knows that banks wouldn't do this. My bank advised to get a tracer from AvaTrade which AvaTrade finds a tonne of excuses not to do so. 6. Eventually in a follow up enquiry, AvaTrade sent me a supposed bank transfer detail, I noticed there seems to be a mistake in the bank's name, which AvaTrade told me is my intermediary bank [of course it is not!]. So I found that AvaTrade had been lying the whole time. a) The withdrawal was never processed. The funds were still with AvaTrade. b) Fabricated bank transfer details had wrong information, which they acknowledged by another lie. 7. I asked to cancel the withdrawal, and will re-make a new one with my bank's details, and AvaTrade agreed. This time is a full withdrawal [EUR 8302.46]. The withdrawal request was cancelled, and the AvaTrade created a new request and the withdrawal was processed very quickly. 8. In my AvaTrade account, I found that a portion of my withdrawal [EUR2973.77] was cancelled with reason "Debit due to trading practices". The balance was processed to my bank account [EUR5328.69].
With this trail of events, I highly suspect AvaTrade is being dishonest as a broker. After trading for 4 months, once a profit is made, they blocked my withdrawal and gave excuses not to give me back my money and profits. And once they realized they can't lie anymore, they auto-deducted my profits as a fault in my trading practices. What a load of BS.
告诉我他们已经转入我的银行[故意坚持转入我银行的中间银行账户]。然后让我收到银行的一封正式信函,称没有收到转账,以便AvaTrade进行调查。
经过一个月的与我的银行和AvaTrade的反复,我发现了真相:
1. AvaTrade从未处理过我的提款,它仍然在他们手中。
2. AvaTrade在所谓的“银行转账对账单”中犯了一个拼写错误,但实际上从未发生过。
3.在我指出错误后,他们很快(在接下来的一个小时内)处理了我的请求。
4.当他们意识到不能扣留我的资金后,他们以“由于交易行为”为由扣除了我近80%的利润,直到我坚持全额提款以关闭我的账户时,他们才“发现”这一点。
多么骗局啊!
2025年8月10日- 1星我在AvaTrade的帐户:89219093
1. 2025年1月22日首次存款后开始交易[EUR 3500]
2. 2025年5月16日开始部分撤回[EUR4302.46]
3. AvaTrade于2025年5月19日拒绝取款:原因不是我用于存款的银行
4.与我的银行联系并与AvaTrade确认了细节,AvaTrade应该承认的银行是我的银行的中介,所以我在2025年5月29日提出了新的提款请求。
5.在一个多月的时间里,AvaTrade坚持他们已经处理了我的提款,并坚持与我的银行核实,我几乎每天都在多轮[几乎每天],甚至亲自拜访我的银行询问,我的银行说他们没有收到任何来自AvaTrade的东西。 我的银行建议从AvaTrade获取追踪器,AvaTrade找到了很多借口不这样做。
6.最终在后续询问中,AvaTrade给我发送了一份所谓的银行转账详细信息,我注意到银行名称似乎有一个错误,AvaTrade告诉我是我的中间银行[当然不是!]。所以我发现AvaTrade一直在撒谎。
a)提款从未处理。这些资金仍在AvaTrade手中。
b)捏造的银行转账详细信息包含错误信息,他们通过另一个谎言承认了这一点。
7.我要求取消提款,并将使用我的银行详细信息重新提款,AvaTrade同意了。这次是全额提款[8302.46欧元]。提款请求被取消,AvaTrade创建了一个新请求,提款处理得非常快。
8.在我的AvaTrade账户中,我发现我的一部分提款[EUR2973.77]被取消,原因是“由于交易实践而取消”。余额已处理到我的银行账户[EUR5328.69]。
根据这一系列事件,我高度怀疑AvaTrade作为经纪人是不诚实的。交易4个月后,一旦盈利,他们就阻止了我的提款,并找借口不把钱和利润还给我。一旦他们意识到自己不能再撒谎了,他们就会自动扣除我的利润,作为我交易行为中的错误。真是胡说八道啊。
