Trading212 – what we know and have as facts about it; Trading 212 is a trading name of Trading 212 UK Ltd, Trading 212 Ltd and Trading 212 Global Ltd. Trading 212 UK Ltd.is authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under reference number 609146. Trading 212 Ltd. is registered in Bulgaria under register number 201659500 and is authorized and regulated by the Financial Supervision Commission (FSC) under register number RG-03-0237. In addition, Trading 212 Global Ltd is authorized and regulated by the VFSC under register number 40517. These licenses allow it to conduct various financial services, including receiving, transmitting, and executing customer orders.
We have found in the Order Execution Policy document that the company acts as principal and therefore, the company is the sole Execution Venue for the execution of all clients’ orders. Moreover, when the company executes clients’ orders, it may in turn route its own orders to regulated third-party EU financial institutions. The company has identified brokers that it relies on for best execution. All this means that Trading212 is a market maker. In general, dealing with market makers involves a conflict of interest because they do not transmit every customer deal and hope that customers will lose. Every loss of customers is their profit.
We also found that there are some posts in the forums about deliberately wrong advertising for stock trading without a commission, but it turns out that stock prices are offered far from reality, unjustified execution of stop loss orders, delayed deposits, withdrawal issues, poor or lack of customer support and price manipulating.
