1Pfund.com Review: What Traders Need to Know

While the broker presents itself as a robust trading platform, its public image is oddly lukewarm. Whether or not on its own behalf, this company is hardly known in the world of trading. The main site is shallow in both scope and revelation, giving generic descriptions without explicit regulatory or legal statements. The site encourages the use of a web terminal with a few instruments. The contrast is with the online testimonials we can come across, which are few and suspiciously homogeneous – effusive, generic, and seemingly contrived to add credibility rather than present real insight. We decided it’s time to step up.

Legitimacy Check

One of the most troubling aspects of 1Pfund.com is the complete absence of any discussion of regulatory matters. The company does not offer any details of being regulated by any top-tier or at least offshore financial regulator. Instead, it avoids the topic entirely, never mentioning even basic compliance practices on its website.

We conclude that any Forex dealing company that does not want to discuss regulation is suspect. Working with non-licensed entities is fraught with huge risks, including the unavailability of recovering funds, even using the services of legal consultants or law enforcement authorities. The company’s use of CFDs and extremely high leverage only contributes to the suspicion.

A closer look at 1Pfund.com’s legal claims raises even greater unease. The company says it is headquartered in Monaco, but a quick check on Google Maps can’t find a headquarters at the given address. In fact, the location appears to be arbitrarily chosen. Why would you make up an address for a head office unless there is something that you are seeking to hide?

Even the WHOIS search of the website name reveals inconsistencies. While the site’s “About Us” page is evasive and devoid of any corporate history, the domain name was registered as recently as the early months of 2025. This suggests that the website is extremely new, which makes it all the more dangerous for investors. On the compliance as well as safety front, 1Pfund.com is skating on very thin ice.

1Pfund.com Content Quality

The website is English-only and has a few advert banners. The banners are no more than marketing logos and do not include substantial details about trading conditions or regulatory requirements. While the website loads satisfactorily enough, some of its sections are poorly designed and low-resolution content, rendering reading important information, such as trading conditions, needlessly cumbersome.

The process of registration at 1Pfund.com goes through a stand-alone form, and clients are pushed into a web interface combined with the trading terminal. The platform’s interface is rudimentary, devoid of modern usability features or help tools. On arrival, traders find no sophisticated description of the company’s business structure and legal status.

The absence of a live chat option or social media presence only serves to add to the feeling of detachment. Assistance is only provided through email – a system generally seen as being out of date and not good enough, particularly in fast-moving markets.

While downloadable documents are made available – say, an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policy – their actual use is questionable in the event of an absence of a regulatory framework.

The platform itself is a browser-only, tailored version of WebTrader, and there is no desktop or mobile application, limiting the convenience of the user. The platform has standard features: asset charts, history of trades, order book, and account balance data. However, customers always complain about order-execution delays – one of the disadvantages for active traders.

Key Trading Features

1Pfund.com offers different account tiers, such as:

• The Trial.
• Secondary Income.
• Managed Portfolio.
• The Retiree.
• The Heritage.

They vary primarily in the amount of leverage and claimed privileges extended to clients. However, there is not much transparency regarding the structuring or backing of these benefits.

The minimum of $250 needs to be deposited in order to trade, and full account functionality only gets unlocked after deposits exceed $250,000. This disparity is a concern to us. In several cases, users with reported initial deposits had their accounts restricted or suspended immediately – typically with no explanation.

The leverage offered can increase up to 1:400, well above that allowed by European and even most offshore regulators. Such high leverage risk is enormous. Worse still, the site offers no negative balance protection, i.e., clients can lose their capital and more.

Penalty fees are also the point of contention. According to the client agreement, users can be billed $99 for inactivity for 30 days. 1Pfund.com also reserves the right to charge undeclared penalties at its own discretion – an unclear policy that defies the trust element.

Such features as account managers assigned to individuals, thematic webinars, and “express withdrawals” are advertised, but these again come with deposits in excess of $100,000. Wonder if rewards such as these are ever actually awarded.

Finally, the use of CFDs as a first-line weapon must be discussed. CFDs are famously risky – over 85% of CFD trades typically result in client loss. The conflict of interest is apparent: since the broker profits when clients lose, the incentive to manipulate results is inherently part of the business model.

The trading conditions at 1Pfund.com raise multiple red flags — unclear rules, excessive leverage, and hidden fees. Everything points to a setup that puts traders at a disadvantage.

1Pfund.com Affiliate Programme

The firm has a referral programme, offering customers a 10% deposit fee commission with a minimum qualifying deposit of $1,000. New customers also receive a 5% bonus on their deposit.

The referral link is passed around. While this is looking good on paper, we consider it dubious to refer others to a platform that itself may not be trustworthy. Referral programs are usually used by shady brokers to mask declining organic traffic and attract sudden capital.

Customer Service Overview

Contact with 1Pfund.com is confined to a single email address. There is no live chat, no telephone number, no support desk, and no public interaction through social media or messaging platforms.

We verified the support email using a test tool and found that it is potentially insecure. Sharing personal or financial data through this channel exposes one to data leakage or abuse. For an investment company dealing with client investments, this is not only unacceptable, but unacceptable to the extreme.

Our Verdict

Based on our comprehensive review, we strongly advise against transacting with 1Pfund.com. The company is unregulated, mistakenly indicates the location of its business operations, and offers no feasible mechanism for retrieving client funds. Trading terms offered by the company are unfavourable, the website is poorly constructed, and customer support does not exist.
