GrandTrade Review

About GrandTrade

GrandTrade, operating via the domain grandtrades.eu, is not regulated by any recognised financial authority and provides no licensing details such as regulatory body names or licence numbers. The firm uses high leverage up to 1:500 and requires a minimum deposit of USD 200. It offers trading through a web-based platform and references MetaTrader 4, though there is no evidence that MT4 is actually accessible. Payment methods are supplied via obscure third-party providers including Amaid, Cardpayz, Epaysecure, Securepayment, and Ganechangers, rather than established channels like VISA or MasterCard. Multiple sources report withdrawal difficulties and lack of transparency in fund processing. ()

The Italian regulator CONSOB issued a warning on 7 September 2022 stating that GrandTrade is not authorised to offer financial services in Italy, classing the entity as unauthorised. The firm is therefore subject to regulatory action, including potential blocking orders. No link to any legitimate licensed firm is indicated in the regulator’s notice. ()
