Scam or an honest broker? FarInvest actively lures traders with flashy slogans, but their terms reveal “features” that even beginners shy away from: deposit insurance up to 50 percent, referral bonuses, and fake licenses. In this review, we will show exactly where the deception lies and why this is more of a trap than a reliable trading platform.
The official FarInvest website is built according to the classic template used by most other brokers. At the top of the page is the main menu: Platform, Account Types, Our Experts, Education, About Us, and Contact Us. On the right, there are buttons for logging into the personal account and for registration. The homepage greets visitors with loud slogans and “advantages” presented in block format: a universal trading platform, reliable infrastructure, 24/7 support, and training for traders of any level. In the footer, the site displays the company’s legal details, contact information, and regulator logos.
What stands out immediately is the absence of a risk warning. Any real broker, whether Interactive Brokers or Saxo Bank, has a clear disclaimer at the bottom of the page: trading CFDs and Forex involves a high risk of capital loss. Here, it is completely missing. The second issue is the lack of legal documents. Normally, a broker’s website should include a dedicated section with AML/KYC policies, a client agreement, trading regulations, and risk disclosure. FarInvest has none of these documents at all.
The “Meet our Experts” block deserves separate attention. It features several “employees” with fabricated biographies, such as Nikolos Zane and Dean Schneider. Their photos look suspiciously like they were generated by artificial intelligence or taken from the internet. These individuals cannot be verified in any real professional databases, and there are no links to their social media either.
The entire website is stuffed with pseudo-motivational phrases and clichés. Every page repeats slogans such as “Invest securely”, “Future ready”, “Safety is our top priority”, or “Designed for informed decisions”. These phrases lack substance and are no different from the advertising banners on questionable landing pages. Under the guise of “advantages”, visitors are offered generic promises: lightning-fast order execution, complete security, access to global markets, and 24/7 support. Absolutely every broker promises the same things. This cannot be considered an advantage or a unique feature of the company.
Thus, the website is a textbook example of a pseudo-broker resource. Instead of transparent information about the platform’s operations, regulations, and real team, it offers flashy words, artificial photos, and pseudo-benefits. All of this serves one purpose: to create an illusion of reliability and gain the trust of potential clients.
You can contact the company’s managers in only a few ways. FarInvest provides an email address, phone numbers, and a feedback form. And that is it — nothing more. There is no live chat, which is an extremely convenient way to quickly resolve issues with support, no messengers, and no social media.
However, the most interesting part is different. The email address provided does not actually exist. It is fake. There is no point in writing there — you will not get a response. A safe and legitimate broker is unlikely to share fake contact details.
FarInvest’s pricing plans look as though they were created not for the trader’s convenience, but for the sole purpose of draining more and more money from clients. The website lists several account levels: Trial ($250), Bronze ($2,500), Silver ($10,000), Gold ($100,000), Platinum ($500,000), and VIP ($1,000,000). The only difference between them is the minimum deposit amount. The more you pay, the more privileges you are promised. This approach is a classic tactic of fraudulent firms: pay more, and you will get better service.
The questionable aspects begin with “capital insurance”. A Bronze account promises 10 percent “protection”, Silver offers 20 percent, Gold 30 percent, and Platinum as much as 50 percent. In real brokerage practice, such things do not exist. Neither Interactive Brokers, nor Saxo, nor IC Markets provide any form of “deposit insurance”, because losses in the market are always borne by the trader. Here, clients are being fed an illusion of safety that has no real backing.
Next come the bonuses. Smaller accounts do not offer them, but starting with Bronze, there is a 10 percent bonus, Silver has 20 percent, Gold 30 has percent, and higher. Deposit bonuses have long been banned for regulated brokers in Europe, the United Kingdom, and Australia because they mislead clients and effectively prevent them from withdrawing funds. Such offers are a clear marker of a shady or fraudulent company.
As for additional services, FarInvest promises a “personal financial advisor”, “exclusive webinars”, “real-time signals”, and even “tax support” for large account holders. All of this sounds impressive, but in reality, such services either cost extra at real companies or are not provided by brokers at all, only by specialized consultants.
And most importantly, FarInvest provides no information whatsoever about commissions and spreads. Nowhere is it mentioned how much a trade costs, what the spreads are for various assets, or even a basic table of trading instruments. For any transparent broker, this is one of the core sections of their website.
The company presents itself as a subsidiary of FarInvest LIMITED, allegedly registered with the Dubai DMCC, while at the same time claiming a license from the “Canadian Financial Industry Regulatory Authority” (registration number 572292). The problem is that no such regulator exists. In Canada, brokers are licensed by IIROC and CSA, not CFIRA. The website also displays the FSRA Ontario logo, but this regulator does not supervise CFD/Forex brokers. On top of that, the company showcases an LEI code, but this does not confirm the existence of a license in any way.
Now, let us examine the legal side of the company and what hides behind the loud claims of “regulation”. The broker lists two addresses: one in London and one in Dubai. However, verification shows that there is no such firm on the British regulator FCA’s registry. The DFSA database is also empty. Moreover, FarInvest LIMITED is missing from Companies House, the official registry of legal entities in the United Kingdom. This means the UK address is fake, used only for appearance and trust-building.
To add “credibility”, the broker claims to be regulated by the “Canadian Financial Industry Regulatory Authority”, but no such organization exists. In Canada, brokers are overseen by IIROC and CSA, but CFIRA is a made-up entity. The site also features the FSRA Ontario logo, yet that regulator deals with insurance and pension funds, not Forex or CFD. In reality, FarInvest hides behind the logos of unrelated authorities to confuse inexperienced traders.
Another trick is the LEI code (Legal Entity Identifier). Yes, many companies obtain an LEI, but this code does not confirm the existence of a license and does not mean the firm is regulated in the financial sector. LEIs are used for identifying legal entities in transactions, but by themselves, they prove nothing.
The website also makes claims about “years of experience”, but the facts show otherwise. The domain farinvest.io was registered only in August 2025. This is a brand-new website with no history. In other words, the company has no “long-term experience”, and all stories about its many years of operation are outright fabrications.
Another piece of evidence proving that this is a dangerous firm with no track record is the complete lack of online reviews. There are fewer than 10. No one knows about FarInvest, which means no one has ever traded there. The scammers have not yet launched a marketing campaign with fake positive reviews to lure inexperienced traders.
All of this paints a clear picture: FarInvest is building a false legend of being an “internationally regulated company”, but in reality, it is an empty shell with no license, no registration, and no legal foundation. Trusting such a broker is a direct path to losing your money.
I asked an experienced trader for advice regarding this company. He told me it is a guaranteed scam. He pointed out the fake regulation and the one-month operating history. Depositing money into something like this is financial suicide. I want to share this information with others so that no one makes such a foolish mistake.
