I had a tough time with my withdrawal requests. It took way longer than expected, and I felt like I was getting the runaround from customer support. I wouldn’t recommend this broker if you need reliable access to your funds.

Overall, I’ve had a good experience with Finance Pond. The trading platform is user-friendly, and I appreciate the variety of trading instruments available. However, I wish there were more educational resources to help beginners.

I believe Finance Pond is a scam. I tried to withdraw my money, but it never arrived. Customer support was unresponsive. I highly advise against using this broker.
