The customer service is great. I have been working with Giancarlo since I opened my account and he has been such a great help and replies to all of my inquiries very quickly. I would highly suggest EdgeClear
I have been with EC for several years now and have excellent response from the team. My broker, 'Hess', has been extremely professional and instructive with a wonderfully pleasant attitude. Ian, Giancarlo and Niko provide great teamwork for my needs when Hess is with another client. So much so that I referred my son to EC and he is now a trading through EC also. Thank you EC.
Thank you for your continued trust and for the referral. We're glad to hear Hess and the team—Ian, Giancarlo, and Niko—have delivered professional, responsive support. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you and your son.
Fantastic customer service and, as far as introducing brokers go, made it dead simple for me to get connected up to TradingView. The connection is quick as well, which is something I've struggled with when using other brokers.
Thank you for the great feedback. We're glad the setup with TradingView was smooth and that you're seeing strong connection performance. We’re here to keep it that way.
Very helpful staff all the way thru the process and after. Good rates, many options to trade with. A+ customer service. Def will recommend to anyone that wants top tier futures
Thank you for the great feedback! We’re glad to hear our team supported you throughout the entire process and that you're enjoying the trading options and rates. We appreciate the recommendation—glad to have you with us!
Thank you for the kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience, and we'll be sure to pass your thanks along to Ian. We appreciate your support!
