FBS Most Helpful Customer Reviews
Fine broker but... (Please read for detail)
But nothing is without mistake, i guess it is an only lack/draw back for fbs. Their TP (take profit execution), they always fix as it is (not once i had possitive slippage) in the other hand, many of order stop and stop loss is often get negative slippage (gap). For me its an obvious conditioned environment by fbs. Keep in mind they is ecn/stp brokers. So i should get positive slippage on take profit which i never get it, even if just for once!
I hope FBS hear it and make them best!

Good comunication
Mar 18, 2021 - 4 Stars I started trading Forex with another broker then tried FBS. Almost two years after I can assure FBS is good not only for beginners. It is good for intermediate traders too.
It is not perfect (they do not have cryptos yet), but it is good.
Jan 25, 2021 - 4 Stars Eighteen months ago I started one demo account with FBS. Later a real account. Untill now, everything is fine, including some promos that I have enjoyed like bonuses and cashbacks.
Their educational material is helpful and support is newbie friendly. To be 5 stars, I think they should have few limitations in bonuses accounts, but nothing is perfect :)
May 21, 2020 - 4 Stars I'm trying a new feature from this broker and it is being very convenient for me. They call it mobile personal area and it allows me to manage my account and my (veeery small) funds from anywhere. Since I'm a beginner forex trader (just for fun), it is very convenient because I can manage account and trade from bus, school or work. Anywhere. It is good for me.
Apr 6, 2020 - 4 Stars I'm a beginner in forex, just learning. So I started learning the markets with more experienced traders. And FBS has a Copy Trade app - a kind of social trading in mql5 - that is good for me. In the meantime I'm studying forex to make my own trades in future. It is good for me.

Trading with FBS for a year now
Overall FBS is working good so far for me, only exception I gave 4 star is their spreads are a bit high on standard accounts when compared to other brokers. Apart from that all good so far.
FBS set TP on my Facebook trade to prevent me from making a huge profit
FBS - My Life In Ruins
FBS has withheld an amount of $30,794.00 and has refused to refund me the funds despite the IFSC asking them to settle a dispute we have.
I owe the bank this money and interest has been adding up as FBS refuses to listen to the IFSC who regulates the FBS License.
Do not trust them with your money as i did.
They are not the best broker as they will not even settle the case with me and resolve as advised by the IFSC.
I trust FBS will settle my case once and for all so I can settle the bank debt I have.
Feb 4, 2021 - 1 Star FBS offers a highly toxic & addictive service. Marrch (Satthakarn Chuenkomol) - CEO refuses to refund me my money!

Recent User Reviews of FBS
Do not trust FBS Markets with your money
Twice now, I have deposited funds using my active, verified mobile money number (+256 700 585 654) — first a deposit of 5.57 EUR (Transaction #179042511) and recently another session. Both times, when I requested a withdrawal (first for 5.00 EUR, Transaction #179096636, and now a second withdrawal of 9.00 EUR Airtel Mobile Money, Account 40107224, #182176701 for -9EUR from 22.05.2026 09:17), FBS unilaterally bypassed the active depositing source. Instead, their system automatically pushed my money to an old, completely dormant phone line on my profile (+256 743 206 934) without any confirmation prompt.
Their payment processor is failing to follow basic closed-loop AML protocols. They have now lost 14.00 EUR of my money due to sheer operational negligence. Stay away from this broker! Account ID: 40107224.
Even after telling them serveral times that i nolonger use that number before even making the second withdraw them failing to even fix the issue i have gmail conservations and more evidence proving that i told them serval times i dont use that mobile number anymore.
Xauusd closed at 4586 but they colsed it 4643
Price didn’t go there but they closed it at 4643 Price.
When i said that, they tell they will be check it.it’s the second time this will happen to me.
FAKE PRICE WRONG QUOTE TODAY April 02, 2026
On the opening market April 02, 2026 the price sipke to 78.10 which is does not exist anywhere else in the world causing my position get liquidated with huge loss.
Trading with FBS for more than 7 years and it happened to me so painful and really i need to share information so many people will not experience this kind of robbery
Urgent: FBS executed liquidations at price never shown on feed
I offered them 2 ways to settle the issue. Their response has been silence.
Worst broker experience I’ve had is with FBS!
