HaveTrade

HaveTrade presents itself as a legitimate trading platform, but the evidence tells a different story. Here is what our review of HaveTrade uncovered.

Who is HaveTrade?

On the surface, HaveTrade looks like an ordinary forex and crypto broker. Its public site is presented at https://www.havetrade.com/. But surface impressions are exactly what these operations rely on — the substance behind HaveTrade is where the problems begin.

Is HaveTrade regulated?

We could find no evidence that HaveTrade holds a valid licence from any recognised financial regulator. Trading client funds without authorisation is one of the strongest indicators of a scam — there is no regulator to complain to, and no protection for your money.

Red flags we identified

• Unrealistic profit claims and pressure to deposit more
• Opaque or anonymous corporate ownership
• Offshore or shell-company registration used to avoid oversight
• Withdrawals reportedly blocked behind “taxes,” “fees” or account “upgrades”
• No credible physical address or verifiable corporate record

Our analysis

HaveTrade claims its location in the United Kingdom. As per the United Kingdom law, all firms and individuals offering, promoting, or selling financial services or products in the UK have to be authorized or registered by the UK financial regulator – FCA. However, we did not find any match results to HaveTrade in FCA. That means HaveTrade is not regulated by any regulators. Investors' money in this broker is unsafe and cannot be protected by any law. Therefore, it is a scam.

Can you recover money lost to HaveTrade?

If you have deposited with HaveTrade, do not pay any further “fees” to withdraw — that is part of the trap. Funds sent to operations like this can sometimes be traced on-chain and pursued through the exchanges and processors that received them. Whether recovery is realistic depends on how you paid and how quickly you act.
