Trive presents itself as a global player operating under the oversight of FINRA, ASIC, and the MFSA. It looks impressive, but traders care not about appearances — they care about real conditions: fair order execution, transparent fees, and reliable withdrawals. And this is exactly where the questions begin, the ones that increasingly link the company to fraudulent practices. In this review, we will fact-check each of their claims one by one.
It is immediately noticeable that the website’s design was clearly put together carelessly. The color palette is a dull mix of cold blues and grays with no sense of style. Everything looks like a cheap template. The fonts are identical, with no hierarchy: the headings almost blend into the body text, making it difficult to focus. When the screen is cluttered with text, nothing stands out, nothing is structured — it is simply too much. The effect of “a lot, but nothing” appears almost instantly.
The site is filled with pompous phrases such as “we provide agile customer support”, “innovation”, “competitive edge”, “global business license”, and “your investment partner”. Licenses and legal entities are listed at the bottom. The images are generated by artificial intelligence, and they look generic.
Trive lists licenses, contact information, and other details, but there is no founding date or the names of the company’s owners. Overall, the official website is low-quality and resembles those of fraudulent brokerage companies.
Clients can contact Trive managers in several ways: by phone, email, online chat, WhatsApp, and social media (Facebook, X, YouTube, and others). The social media accounts are empty and inactive — there is no content, or it is outdated and extremely sparse. It is obvious that the broker is not popular among traders.
The company claims to provide access to CFDs on forex, indices, commodities, metals, and stocks. For trading, it offers MT4, MT5, TradingView, and its own platform, Trive, which is presented as a “lightweight” and modern solution.
The company has several account types: Classic, Prime, and Prime Plus. Classic is advertised as a “start from zero” option with no minimum deposit required. The minimum trade volume is 0.01 lots. The more expensive plans highlight “improved” spreads but require a higher entry threshold of several thousand dollars.
The broker specifies floating spreads starting from 0.1 pips, but the exact numbers depend on the account type. Prime Plus lists low spreads, but introduces a per-lot commission. Leverage varies by jurisdiction and account, and in some versions of the website, it is listed as high as 1:2000. Deposits and withdrawals are available via bank cards, wire transfers, and electronic payment services.
Let us take a closer look at licenses and their legal structure. On paper, the company does indeed hold licenses in different countries, but traders almost never work with the legal entity regulated by FINRA or ASIC. Clients are transferred to an offshore subsidiary, and all the impressive licenses instantly turn into decoration. This creates several risks.
Even if the Trive group has licenses in the United States or Australia, a trader’s real account is opened under a company registered in Mauritius, Malta, or another soft jurisdiction.
When a trader operates through an offshore entity, they automatically lose all key protections: compensation funds, strict regulatory oversight, mandatory segregation of client funds, and transparent withdrawal procedures. Regulators in the United States, the European Union, or Australia will not accept a complaint, because legally the client is not under their supervision. The result is the same — even with a dozen licenses displayed on the website, the client ends up dealing with an offshore company that can change trading conditions, cancel trades, or delay withdrawals without consequences.
The reviews about Trive look suspicious. First, there are surprisingly few of them for a company that claims such credentials and licenses. The broker simply is not popular among traders. You can see that even from the inactive social media pages.
Moreover, the positive reviews look fabricated. There is no evidence that the platform provides fair trading or allows smooth withdrawals. Just generic text without specifics. Negative reviews, on the other hand, include account numbers, exact amounts of lost funds, and detailed problem descriptions.
The broker showcases licenses, status, and “global reach”, but the facts tell a different story — clients operate in a zone with no responsibility and no guarantees for the safety of their funds. The feedback about Trive is weak; there is no proof of honest operations, and the conditions are too contradictory. This is not a platform where one should entrust their money. The best decision is to avoid opening an account and not risk your capital.
Helen always knew that her passion for journalism was more than just a hobby. It was a potential career. She began her professional journey at a local newspaper in the small town where she was born. Writing on a variety of topics, from local news to financial reviews, her persistence and investigative talent soon caught the attention of editors at larger publications. We are thrilled that Helen accepted our offer and now writes for fincapital-reviews. Her exposés always create a buzz. Sometimes, we think Helen could easily open her own detective agency.
Deposits go through instantly, but withdrawals were blocked under the pretext of document verification, even though I completed KYC on the very first day. Each time I am told to “wait forty-eight hours”, and this has been going on for almost two weeks. It feels as if they simply have no intention of returning the funds!
In calm market conditions, spreads suddenly widen to fifteen to twenty pips, while other brokers show no such behavior at the same moment. Because of this, stop-losses get triggered in places where the market did not move at all. I contacted support – Trive sent a generic reply stating that “everything complies with the company’s policy”.
I trade using my own strategy, everything is consistent – take-profits trigger, risks are minimal. As soon as my account showed solid profit, I received an email saying my trades were “subject to review”. After this “inspection”, Trive simply erased all my profit, citing some internal rules. No proof, just words.
