Mobatrade Review

About Mobatrade

MobaTrade operates without authorisation from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA); the FCA issued a public warning on 15 June 2023 stating that the firm may be offering investment services without authorisation and that consumers engaging with it would not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme  .

The Central Bank of Ireland issued a warning on 12 September 2025, declaring MobaTrade an unauthorised investment firm and describing it as a “boiler‑room” scam that employs high‑pressure sales tactics such as repeated unsolicited calls, texts, emails or social media messages to coerce individuals into investing in non‑existent financial products .

The Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) added MobaTrade to its warning list as a fraudulent trading platform on 14 March 2024 .

MobaTrade demands unusually large minimum deposits, reportedly starting at EUR 10,000 for entry‑level accounts and escalating to as much as EUR 1,000,000 for VIP tiers . The broker operates a proprietary WebTrader platform, access to which is restricted and requires user registration, and lacks a publicly available demo account . It offers leveraged cryptocurrency trading that is prohibited for retail clients in the UK, contravening local regulations .
