I had high hopes for IMS Markets, but my experience has been disappointing. The withdrawal process is incredibly slow, and I struggled to get any clear answers from their support team. It feels like once they have your money, they don’t care about you anymore. I wouldn’t recommend them based on my experience.

I regret using IMS Markets. My experience with their customer service has been terrible; they were unhelpful and unresponsive when I had issues with my account. Additionally, I faced significant delays when trying to withdraw my funds. It’s been a frustrating experience, and I wouldn’t recommend this broker.

I’ve been trading with IMS Markets for a few months now, and overall, I’m satisfied. Their platform is user-friendly, and I appreciate the range of investment options available. While I did encounter a minor hiccup with my withdrawal, their support team was helpful in resolving it quickly. I feel confident trading here.
