Is INVESTIZO a scam?

Likely scamMEDIUM confidence
Unlicensed offshore CFD broker under regulator warnings, with profit-cancellation and withdrawal-hold complaints

We rate Investizo a likely scam (70% risk): it has no trading licence, and regulators in Malaysia and Ukraine list investizo.com as an unlicensed operator.

  • Malaysia's Securities Commission added Investizo to its Investor Alert List on 20 December 2024, naming investizo.com and investizo.org, for unlicensed dealing in securities.
  • Ukraine's securities regulator lists Investizo (investizo.com/ru) among dubious investment projects and says it holds no Ukrainian licence. IOSCO relayed that warning on 28 June 2024.
  • Investizo LTD. is a real St. Vincent and the Grenadines company, active since 16 May 2019, but that registration is not a licence.
  • Clients report profits cancelled under the broker's terms and withdrawals held for weeks. Most of these complaints came between March and September 2026.
  • Trustpilot has suspended Investizo's rating for a guideline breach and says it removed fake reviews.

Each area is scored 0 (clean) to 10 (worst). Higher means more risk.

Worst area: High
SeverityLowModerateHighCritical

Regulation

7/10 · High

No licence anywhere: Investizo LTD. is only an SVG company, the SVG FSA licenses no forex brokers, and Malaysia's SC and Ukraine's NSSMC list investizo.com as unlicensed. It does not falsely claim a licence on its site.

Identity & transparency

3/10 · Low

Name, number and address match the SVG register (active since 16 May 2019) and have stayed the same since 2020. The Bishkek office and CEO are disclosed, but the operating and Nigerian entities and the owners are not named.

Withdrawals & conduct

7/10 · High

Fund-access complaints pass all four pattern tests: profits voided under Terms 3.10 and 7.10 and withdrawals held, clustered March to September 2026, on three platforms, with account numbers. The firm replies, and some cases were paid.

Reputation

7/10 · High

Two regulator warnings name the domain, Trustpilot suspended the rating over fake reviews, and scam threads date back to 2020. Against this there is a real base of positive withdrawal reports.

Website claims

6/10 · High

No licence is claimed, but the 'instant withdrawals' promise contradicts its own 2-business-day policy, 1:2000 leverage is sold as 'minimizing risk', and a public reply called its operations 'regulated'.

Operational history

2/10 · Low

Verified track record of about 7.4 years: investizo.com registered 11 Feb 2019, company incorporated 16 May 2019, same entity on archived pages since August 2020.

Why we reached this verdict

How the evidence adds up.

Investizo falls in the Likely Scam band for three reasons. Securities regulators have publicly listed its exact website as unlicensed, it holds no licence anywhere, and its complaints keep describing the same way clients lose money.

  • Regulator warnings that name the website. The Securities Commission Malaysia Investor Alert List names https://investizo.com/ and https://investizo.org/ with the remark 'Carrying on unlicensed capital market activities of dealing in securities'. Investizo was added on 20 December 2024. Ukraine's NSSMC lists Investizo with investizo.com/ru, and IOSCO I-SCAN records that it 'does not hold an Ukrainian financial services licence'.
  • No licence anywhere. Its only credential is SVG company number 25432 BC 2019. The SVG Financial Services Authority says it does not issue forex or broker licences. It also says companies dealing in forex must get a licence where their clients live.
  • Still selling into those markets. Nearly two years after the Malaysian alert, the deposit page still offers Malaysian ringgit local-bank deposits. It also lists local payment methods for Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia, Nigeria, India, Brazil, Kenya and Mexico.
  • One repeating complaint. Clients say profits were cancelled under Terms clauses 3.3, 3.10 and 7.10, which cover platform errors, hedging on swap-free accounts, linked accounts and non-market prices. They say withdrawals were held for a security review, and some were asked for a photo holding their ID and a handwritten note before release. Many give account numbers and amounts, and the complaints cluster between March and September 2026. The same pattern appears on BabyPips in 2020 and on ForexPeaceArmy in 2024.
  • Signs of review manipulation. Trustpilot has made the rating unavailable for a guideline breach and says it removed fake reviews. The remaining reviews split 58% five-star and 35% one-star, with almost nothing in between.
  • How the figure is set. The six risk scores give a weighted 59%. A regulator warning that names the website sets a minimum of 70%, which is the figure shown.
  • Why not higher. We found no fake licence, no borrowed identity and no demand for a fee to release funds. The company replies to complaints, some withdrawals were later paid, and no regulator or court has made a fraud finding against it.

  • E3IOSCO I-SCAN warning 35782, published 23 December 2024, relays the Malaysian alert on Investizo: 'Carrying on unlicensed capital market activities of dealing in securities'. It is the same warning as E1, not a separate finding.

  • E6The SVG Financial Services Authority entity list shows Investizo LTD., number 25432, BC-Business Company, status Active, incorporated 2019-05-16, registered agent Wilfred Services Ltd. This matches the name and number on investizo.com and proves the company exists. It is not a licence.

  • E7An SVG FSA notice about a different company states that the Authority does not issue Forex/Brokers licences and does not regulate business companies involved in forex. It adds that such companies must obtain a licence where their clients are located. It does not name Investizo.

  • E8Investizo's About page and footer describe the firm only as Investizo LTD., an SVG Business Company with registration number 25432 BC 2019, at a Kingstown registered-agent address. No licence or regulator is claimed.

  • E9The company history records gala dinners for partners and traders in Penang and Kuala Lumpur in 2022, a 'Best Investment Broker in Malaysia 2023' award, and a subsidiary opened in Abuja, Nigeria, in March 2024. Its roadmap plans an FSC Mauritius licence in the fourth quarter of 2027, which confirms it holds no licence today.

  • E10Nearly two years after the Malaysian alert, the deposit page still offers Malaysian ringgit local-bank and bank-transfer deposits. It also lists local payment methods for Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia, Nigeria, India (UPI), Brazil (PIX), Kenya (mobile money) and Mexico (SPEI). Investizo holds no licence in any of these countries.

  • E11The Terms of Use let the company recover losses from clients who profit from platform failures (3.3) and treat linked profiles as one (3.4 to 3.6). They let it block a profile and all affiliated profiles for risk-free operations such as hedging on swap-free accounts (3.10), and cancel or revise trade results for non-market quotes or malfunctions (7.10). Claims must be made in writing within 3 calendar days, and SVG law governs.

  • E12Fund-access complaints cluster between March and September 2026. Examples: MT5 accounts 45416 and 46372 blocked after photo verification (30 March); a USD 300 profit voided for 'spread cheating' (April); a USD 40 withdrawal held and blamed on A-Pay (May); Maya withdrawals cancelled (June); profits voided for 'swap hunting' on MT5 account 93817, with a request for a photo holding ID and a handwritten note (August); a USD 1,150 withdrawal rejected and results cancelled under 'Regulation 7.10' (August). The company replies citing clauses 3.10 and 7.10 and linked accounts, and says it found no matching account for two of the complainants.

  • E13Trustpilot has made Investizo's rating unavailable due to a breach of its guidelines and says it removed a number of fake reviews. The 55 remaining reviews split 58% five-star, 7% four-star, none at two or three stars, and 35% one-star. Many five-star posts come from single-review accounts with one-line praise, and two use the same phrase, 'good copy training service'.

  • E14The company answers complaints in public. It reports that a withdrawal held for a security check in March 2026 was paid in full. Reviewers marked verified describe repeated deposits and withdrawals, one of more than USD 3,000.

  • E15In a Trustpilot reply dated 16 June 2026, the company wrote that 'Investizo remains committed to fair, transparent, and regulated client operations', although no regulator licenses it.

  • E16A BabyPips forum thread from September 2020 describes about USD 60,000 of profit cancelled over a 'technical failure of quoting mechanism'. An Investizo account replied citing clause 3.3 and offered USD 1,000 plus a USD 10,000 investment instead. A second user said a EUR 500 withdrawal request went unanswered.

  • E17The ForexPeaceArmy review page, archived on 3 August 2024, shows a Japanese trader saying USD 16,000, including a USD 3,500 deposit, was confiscated after a large withdrawal request. Investizo replied that it re-priced 530.1 lots of JP225 and GE positions opened before a stock split and the GE Vernova spin-off. Another reviewer's crypto deposit, sent to an old wallet address, was refunded.

  • E18A promotion offers 1:2000 leverage with promo code MAXLEVERAGE under the heading 'Minimizing risk and profit maximization'. The homepage advertises instant withdrawals, while the deposit page says withdrawals are processed within 2 business days.

  • E19Registry records show investizo.com was registered on 11 February 2019 through Name.com. investizo.net and investizo.org followed on 11 November 2021, and investizo-trade.net on 19 February 2024. The main domain is three months older than the company, which fits a 2019 launch.

  • E20An archived copy of investizo.com from 11 August 2020 shows the same company name, number 25432 BC 2019 and Kingstown address, then with a UK freephone number. This confirms the site has run under one brand and one company since at least 2020.

  • E21investizo-trade.net, like investizo.net and investizo.org, shows the same company details, Bishkek operational address, Kyrgyz phone numbers and support email as investizo.com.

  • E22The contacts page lists an operational address at Office No. 311, 107 Kievskaia street, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, with +996 mobile, landline and WhatsApp numbers and a Telegram support handle, alongside the SVG registered address.

The other side

The strongest case in this broker’s favour.

Investizo is a real, long-running business, and the case in its favour deserves a fair hearing.

  • Investizo LTD. is on the SVG register as an active company incorporated on 16 May 2019. An archived copy of investizo.com from August 2020 shows the same name, number and address.
  • It has traded under one brand and one company for more than seven years. It has not renamed itself, and we saw no sign that it copies another firm.
  • Its site does not claim a licence. It describes its SVG registration accurately and says it plans to obtain a Mauritius FSC licence in the fourth quarter of 2027.
  • It answers complaints in public with account-level explanations, and in several cases it says the money was paid. One reviewer later confirmed the capital had been returned.
  • Many reviewers, some marked verified by Trustpilot, report repeated successful withdrawals, one of more than USD 3,000.
  • Some cancellations involve trading that its terms forbid, such as hedging on swap-free accounts or trading through a stock split. Two near-identical one-star reviews, posted nine days apart, read like a shared template.
  • Both regulator warnings are about operating without a local licence. Neither is a finding of fraud.

What would change this

What we would need to see to revise the verdict.

The score would fall if Investizo came under a real regulator and the money complaints stopped. It would rise if those complaints spread.

  • A licence from a recognised regulator covering Investizo LTD. and investizo.com, such as the Mauritius FSC licence it says it is seeking
  • Removal from the Malaysian and Ukrainian lists, or a written clearance from either regulator
  • Trade-by-trade evidence for each cancelled result, and a long period with no new fund-access complaints
  • Independent confirmation that client money is held in segregated accounts
  • In the other direction, any of these would move the verdict to Confirmed Scam: a credible report of a fee demanded to release funds, a regulator enforcement action, or refusals to return deposited capital.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about this broker’s safety.

15 questions
Is Investizo a scam?

We rate Investizo a likely scam with a 70% risk score. It holds no trading licence, regulators in Malaysia and Ukraine list investizo.com as unlicensed, and clients keep reporting cancelled profits and held withdrawals. It is a real company that has operated since 2019 and pays some withdrawals, which is why we stop short of a confirmed scam verdict.

Is Investizo a fraud?

No regulator or court has made a fraud finding against Investizo LTD., and we found no enforcement action or fraud-related court record naming it. What the record does show is regulator warnings for operating without a licence and a pattern of complaints about cancelled profits and held withdrawals. We assess the risk of losing money with it as high.

Is Investizo regulated?

No. Investizo LTD. is a business company registered in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and the SVG Financial Services Authority says it does not issue forex or broker licences. Investizo does not claim a licence and says it plans to seek one from the Mauritius FSC in late 2027.

Which regulators have warned about Investizo?

The Securities Commission Malaysia added Investizo to its Investor Alert List on 20 December 2024, naming investizo.com and investizo.org, for unlicensed dealing in securities. Ukraine's National Securities and Stock Market Commission lists Investizo, naming investizo.com/ru, and says it holds no Ukrainian licence. IOSCO's I-SCAN carries both warnings.

What is Investizo's SVG registration number worth?

Company number 25432 BC 2019 proves that Investizo LTD. exists and has been active since 16 May 2019. It is not a licence. It brings no capital rules, no client-money protection, no compensation scheme and no regulator to complain to.

Can I withdraw my money from Investizo?

Many clients report withdrawals that worked, but a steady stream report the opposite. They describe profits cancelled under the broker's terms, withdrawals held for a security review, and requests for a photo holding their ID with a handwritten note before release. The broker's own policy says withdrawals take up to 2 business days, not the instant withdrawals its homepage advertises.

Why does Investizo cancel profits?

Its Terms of Use let it cancel or revise trade results for platform errors, non-market prices, hedging on swap-free accounts and linked accounts (clauses 3.3, 3.4 to 3.6, 3.10 and 7.10). In its public replies it cites these clauses, but clients say they rarely see trade-level evidence. Because no regulator oversees Investizo, there is no independent body to settle these disputes.

Is my money safe with Investizo?

Not by any regulatory standard. There is no licence, no compensation scheme and no evidence that client money is kept in segregated accounts. Its terms also require claims within 3 calendar days and place disputes under SVG law.

Who runs Investizo and where is it based?

The contracting company is Investizo LTD., registered at a registered-agent address in Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Its operational office is in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, its support phones are Kyrgyz numbers, and its company history names Dmitry Nenashev as CEO.

How long has Investizo been in business?

About seven and a half years. The investizo.com domain was registered on 11 February 2019 and the company was incorporated on 16 May 2019. An archived copy of the site from August 2020 shows the same company details.

Is Investizo a clone of another broker?

No. We found no sign that it uses another firm's name, licence or address. Its mirror sites investizo.net, investizo.org and investizo-trade.net carry the same company details as investizo.com.

Can I trust Investizo's Trustpilot reviews?

Be careful. Trustpilot has made Investizo's rating unavailable for a breach of its guidelines and says it removed fake reviews. The remaining 55 reviews split 58% five-star and 35% one-star with almost nothing in between, and many five-star posts come from accounts with a single one-line review.

What should I do if Investizo will not pay me?

Complain in writing straight away, because its terms give only 3 calendar days to make a claim, and keep every record. If you paid by card, ask your bank about a chargeback, and report the problem to your national securities regulator. Never pay a fee to release funds or hire a recovery service that asks for money upfront.

What should I check before depositing with Investizo?

Check whether your country's regulator lists it, as Malaysia and Ukraine do. Read the terms on cancelled trades and linked accounts, and test a small withdrawal before depositing more. Compare it with brokers licensed by a top-tier regulator in your country.

What are investizo.net, investizo.org and investizo-trade.net?

They are mirror copies of investizo.com, with the same company name, registration number, addresses and support email. The Malaysian regulator's warning names investizo.org alongside investizo.com.

What we recommend

The practical takeaway from everything above.

Our advice

Treat Investizo as an unlicensed broker. If something goes wrong, no regulator or compensation scheme stands behind you.

  • Prefer a broker licensed by a top-tier regulator in your own country, and check that licence on the regulator's own register.
  • If you live in Malaysia or Ukraine, your securities regulator already lists Investizo as unlicensed.
  • If you already have an account, withdraw any balance you do not need. Keep records: account numbers, trade tickets, deposit receipts, emails and chat logs.
  • Read Terms clauses 3.3 to 3.10 and 7.10 before trading. Avoid hedging on swap-free accounts, running several accounts, and sharing devices or IP addresses, because the company cites these to justify cancelling profits.
  • The terms give you only 3 calendar days to lodge a written claim, so complain in writing at once if a trade or withdrawal is changed.
  • Never pay a fee, tax or deposit to release a withdrawal. Ignore anyone who offers to recover your money for an upfront payment.
  • If you paid by card, ask your bank about a chargeback, and report problems to your national securities regulator.
