Is STONEX PAYMENTS fraud?

• Subscription Fees: Many users have reported being charged for monthly or annual subscriptions for market data and trading services that they may have signed up for unintentionally or overlooked during signup.
• Data Service Charges: Charges related to real-time market data access or premium features, which some users activate without fully understanding the cost implications.
• Commission Fees: Users may encounter charges related to commission fees for trades executed through StoneX platforms, which can vary based on trading volume and account type.
• Currency Conversion Fees: Customers trading in foreign currencies may see unexpected charges due to conversion or exchange fees applied during transactions.
• Account Maintenance Fees: Some users have mentioned being charged for account maintenance or inactivity, particularly in accounts with low trading volume.
• Service Upgrades: Charges may arise if a user upgrades to a premium service or feature without realizing it, often due to default settings that opt for enhanced services.
• Trial Period Charges: Users sometimes forget to cancel free trial periods, resulting in automatic charges once the trial ends.
• Transfer Fees: Some customers report being charged for transferring assets or funds either to another platform or for withdrawals.

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the stonex.com via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the stonex.com refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with stonex.com, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.

If this sounds like too much of a hassle, you can have Chargeback do it for you.
