I recognise that SelfWealth needed to conduct additional checks on a high‑value share sale, but clearer communication would have avoided significant… Read more

stress and delay. My principal was not informed that her share sale proceeds had been placed on hold before the scheduled settlement date, or that an internal review was underway, and I, as her attorney, was unable to act for her concerning substantive matters because SelfWealth appears never to have completed the registration of my EPOA. When the review was completed, she received only a brief call saying her account was “now active”, without any explanation of what this meant or how to access her funds. Although SelfWealth acknowledged that some communication “could have been handled differently”, it declined to offer even a small goodwill consideration to recognise the confusion, anxiety, delay, and the resulting interest foregone. Overall, the experience highlighted consistent communication shortcomings at key points where clear and timely information should reasonably have been expected.

they call despite asking numerous to take me off the call list. It's genuine harassment . Any business that harassess people this much obviously doesn't have the record to attract customers so they have to resort to relentless harassment and high pressure sales tactics to make money. Avoid this business like the plague as they are the lowest of the low.

efficient, and completed exactly as expected. Communication was clear throughout, and the platform made the process straightforward and stress-free. Very impressed with the service and professionalism. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and hassle-free brokerage experience. The only issue I would have is the max of $20k allowed for bank transfer

So far we have found STAKE a very good user friendly platform. If you are reasonably confident with investing your own money, why pay 1%or more of your hard earned money for some other company to do it

Overpromise and underdeliver by [Name Removed] from Stock Specialist – [Name Removed] has contacted me several times to sell this Active Service package even I told him I already have normal membership for 5 years. This… Read more

sales consultant or sales director of Stock Specialist has overpromised his Active Service package including quarterly review of porfolio, 5-10 monthly trading opportunities recommended by phone or emails, utilizing their portpolio construction services. None of these are happening. I have contacted him for the refund as I did not receive the services after a couple of months. He then advised me the trading opportunities are delivered directly to the platform dash board. This is exactly the same platform I can see as a normal member. I don't need to pay another $1500 to see the same thing. I have emailed him for the refund a few times but like most of other customers making complain - get nothing back.

If the company director cannot keep his promise and provides mis-leading information, your team, services and products are also not trustworthy. I always believe in Karma. Whatever you took from me in an un-ethical way, you will lose somewhere more.

through a lot of screens. That may sound simple, but it helps me stay focused and avoid overthinking every move. The platform is easy to use, runs smoothly, and fits into my daily routine without taking up too much time. Since joining, I've become more patient and consistent with my trading. Overall, it's been a positive experience and a great place to keep learning and improving.

someone's time. That's pretty much what I found with Kingsley Wealth. The whole experience has been relaxed, and I've never felt pressured to rush into anything. I like that I can learn at my own pace and slowly build confidence instead of trying to figure everything out in one week. Trading still has good days and bad days, but I feel much more comfortable handling both now. For me, that's been the biggest difference, and it's why I've stayed with Kingsley Wealth.

email, they either do not reply or unexpectedly close the request or keep asking the same question over and over - just as if they did not get your reply. Oh, you can chat to an AI bot, but you won't get anywhere. It will only give you generic answers from the help documentation. One star is too high a rating.

Be extremely careful giving Motley Fool Australia your credit card details. They use classic "dark pattern" tactics to trap you into auto-renewals. … Read more

I decided I didn't want to renew my subscription, so I logged into my account to cancel. I spent over 15 minutes clicking through every single bloody menu and account setting looking for a simple "Cancel Membership" button. It doesn't exist. They make it incredibly easy to sign up online with a few clicks, but deliberately remove any online cancellation option, forcing you to email or call them to beg to be let go.

This is a highly unethical business practice designed purely to create friction so people give up and get charged again.

I had to resort to sending a formal legal demand citing Australian Consumer Law and ACCC guidelines on misleading conduct just to force them to stop my auto-renewal. I have also paid for my current term upfront, which is valid until June 23, 2026. I have had to explicitly warn them in writing not to illegally cut off my access early just because I refused their auto-renewal trap.

If a digital financial company cannot provide a transparent digital exit button in 2026, they do not deserve your business. Completely dodgy and unethical.

system, however... They send me a regular email that says "DRO is 83.9% OVERVALUED"; the link in their email shows a rather different story! ... * Trading at 82.3% below our estimate of its fair value. * Earnings are forecast to grow 52.62% per year. * Earnings grew by 612.7% over the past year. I sent them a query some weeks ago but got no response. Some might think that an anomaly like this, lowers the trustworthiness of everything they report.
