Verdict up front: Zectrade (zecktrades.online) says it “has been one of the leading online brokers since 2014”. Its own road map starts with “2020 Idea”, and its countdown clock reads -175223 days. The UK FCA warned about it on 27 March 2026. The domain was registered on 18 January 2026 — about eight months ago.

Since 2014 — or since 2020?
The “Road Map” lists “2020 Idea (September–October)”, “Formation of founders team” and “WhitePaper, Landing page”. A broker active since 2014 does not need a landing page in 2020.

Wrong name, wrong address
The title says Zectrades.com; the site is zecktrades.online. The footer names a company in Kingstown, St Vincent, “agents” in Malta and Cyprus, and an office in East Finchley, London.
A members’ club, not a regulator
“Category A member of the Financial Commission (FinaCom)” is meant to sound official. FinaCom is a private dispute body; it does not license brokers.
Live numbers that cannot be real
Balance tiles show “586343945.000 USD”. A pop-up says “Katerina just withdrew 47100 USD from Pakistan”. You are asked to “purchase a plan” to start.
⚠ Verified evidence
- The UK FCA warned about zecktrades.online on 27 March 2026.
- Countdown showing -175223 days.
- “Since 2014” vs road map starting 2020.
- Addresses in four countries; FinaCom, not a regulator.
How to check
Search the FCA Warning List and Register. Membership of a private body such as FinaCom is not authorisation.
What to do if you paid Zectrade
- Stop sending money — no “tax”, “release fee” or “upgrade” will unlock a withdrawal.
- Keep every record: receipts, wallet addresses, emails and chat screenshots.
- Call your bank or card issuer today and ask about a chargeback or recall.
- Report it to the regulator that issued the warning and to your local police.
- Ignore anyone who offers to recover the money for an upfront fee.
The verdict: Zectrade contradicts its own history and uses a borrowed name, and the UK FCA has warned about it. Do not buy a plan.
