Is InvestTeck Scam or Legit Broker?

It is not safe to trade with InvestTeck, because it is an unregulated broker. Besides, the company has been suspected to be a fraud. We checked the company and found that there is no authorization or registration of the address, therefore the company seems to be highly suspicious and might operate its services from an absolutely different location.

What is InvestTeck?

 InvestTeck is owned by GreenRiver OU and claims to be located in Dublin, Ireland. According to the website, InvestTeck is a world-renowned financial services provider offering a range of investment products, including Online Trading and FX. However, the company doesn't provide any information about its regulation, and also the reputation of the owner-company is quite questionable. 

• As stated, InvestTeck is owned and operated by GreenRiver OU, with a registered address in Tallinn, Estonia. GreenRiver OU operates some other brokers that we have previously reviewed (GCC Investing, Jones Mutual) and has been blacklisted in Estonia by its local regulator Estonian Financial Supervisory Authority, and also banned in Australia by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. Obviously, all the brokers associated with the GreenRiver OU should be avoided.
• We have heard brokers operated by GreenRiver OU deny traders withdrawing funds. We have feedback from traders that they cannot withdraw money. 

InvestTeck Review Conclusion

We advise all investors and traders to avoid InvestTeck and other unregulated brokers. The lack of information about the broker’s regulations, trading conditions, and contact details should be the biggest red flag for those who plan to invest with the entity. Usually, such companies run investment scams. Traders should trade with well-regulated brokers such as UK brokers or brokers in Australia and reliable brokers such as FXTM and Alpari (Read FXTM Review and Alpari Review).
