The company claims to be fully regulated in the United Kingdom and Switzerland, to have been founded in 2018, and to engage in charitable activities and sports sponsorships. All of this looks impressive and reliable, but is it really true? Very often, scams create the illusion of a serious and legitimate business in order to lure inexperienced traders and investors and steal their money. In today’s LLB Alpha review, we will attempt to expose this margin trading platform.
To begin with, let us take a look at the appearance of LLB Alpha’s official website. It is designed in light tones with pink and black accents, using a minimalist layout and large promotional banners featuring images of balloons, charts, and people with laptops or smartphones. However, it is important to note that this is a ready-made template.
The top menu consists of:
These are the main sections, but there is a clear lack of a section about the LLB Alpha trading platform and additional services, as well as contact information. On the right, there is a language switch button (five European languages are supported).
The information is poorly structured. For example, trading conditions are scattered across different pages, forcing traders to spend time piecing everything together. Leading brokers present their trading conditions in a single document: specific, clear, with tables and figures.
The images on the LLB Alpha website look cheap and generic. These are standard stock photos from the internet: smiling people with laptops and flashy charts that have nothing to do with actual trading. Large and reputable companies typically use images such as platform screenshots, examples of analytics, and real photos of their offices and team.
The company lists many figures and claims, such as 45,000 clients, sponsorships, and over 2.3 million donated to charity. However, there is no evidence provided — just words and numbers on the site. Overall, it is a typical website of yet another suspicious broker, nothing new.
The contact details are placed in the footer instead of a separate section. There are two email addresses and 14 phone numbers for different countries. However, there is no office address at all. It is unclear where LLB Alpha has any branches. The user agreement mentions an address in Switzerland.
The communication channels are limited to email and phone. The broker has not integrated an online chat, which is the most convenient and fastest way to communicate. There are also no social media accounts or messenger links.
LLB Alpha presents its trading conditions in a way that makes them look attractive, but a closer examination reveals that key information is either missing or contradictory. The company offers four account types: Standard, Elite, Pro, and VIP. The minimum deposit starts at $250, while the VIP account requires at least $5,000. The differences between them are in commissions and bonuses: from a 2% commission on the basic plan to 1% on the VIP, and bonuses ranging from 25% to 100% on the first deposit. However, there is already a problem here — in another section of the website, a fixed commission of 1.5% is listed without any link to the account type. This creates confusion and raises doubts about the transparency of the terms.
The trading instruments are described in vague terms: currency pairs, stocks, commodities, indices, and cryptocurrencies. However, there is no list of specific assets, contract specifications, or minimum and maximum lot sizes. The same goes for spreads: the site only features the promotional phrase “low spreads”, with no figures or tables. By comparison, any licensed broker such as Saxo Bank or Interactive Brokers publishes a complete price list with precise values for each instrument.
The LLB Alpha platform is from an unknown developer. It is a web terminal with a mobile version. There is no integration with MetaTrader or cTrader, which limits the trader’s capabilities. Leverage, margin requirements, and withdrawal fees are not listed at all. Even the withdrawal timeframes are vaguely described as “requests are processed quickly”. This contradicts the practice of transparent brokers, who specify timelines and fees down to decimal percentages.
Now, let us find out what this broker actually represents. On its website, the company provides links to official legal registries containing registration certificates for LLB Swiss Investment AG and LLB Global Investment Group Limited. At first glance, this may seem like solid evidence, but it is far from the truth. These organizations do exist, but they have absolutely no relation to LLB Alpha. They are different legal entities, with other business activities, addresses, founders, and markets of operation.
In fact, we could not find a single document confirming that LLB Alpha itself is even registered as a company. And if there is no registration, there is no license. For a trader, this is a critical risk: in the event of problems or disputes, you will not be able to contact a regulator or take the matter to court in an official capacity, because legally, the counterparty simply does not exist. This is a direct violation of basic financial market standards, where every broker is required to have transparent registration data and licenses from relevant authorities (FCA, CySEC, ASIC, etc.).
The company claims to have been operating since 2018. However, a check of the domain llb-alpha.com shows that the official website only appeared in 2025. This completely destroys the narrative of a long operational history and confirms that LLB Alpha is simply using someone else’s registration documents to create the appearance of reliability.
All the other claims are also fake. Sponsorships, charitable donations, and tens of thousands of clients worldwide — none of these statements have any proof. All of it is used as a marketing tool to lure gullible people and make them believe in the “solidity” of the company. In reality, this is a standard scheme — pile on the grandiose claims, hide the true legal status, and attract client deposits as quickly as possible.
The broker’s reputation online is nothing like what is presented on the website. Negative reviews are gradually appearing with complaints about the inability to withdraw funds. It is also important to note that LLB Alpha actively publishes fake positive reviews to entice inexperienced clients. Judging by the existence of negative comments, it seems they are succeeding in doing so.
Behind LLB Alpha’s loud promises, there is neither regulation nor a genuine reputation. The company hides behind someone else’s registration documents, lies about its years in operation, and entices with bonuses without disclosing the terms. Any funds invested here are at risk of being lost.

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.
I do not believe a single word written on their website. Neither the 45,000 clients nor the millions for charity are confirmed by anything. I am certain that this is a scam and a fake. Real, legitimate brokers look completely different. This is plain fraud. The lack of a license — that is what truly matters.
