LHFX is active on Trustpilot and replies to customer feedback, though some LHFX replies to negative reviews read as overly defensive.
FXStreet found that some LHFX responses to negative Trustpilot reviews verge on unprofessional.
What raises concerns about LHFX’s trustworthiness?
FXStreet found no major LHFX trust concerns, only minor issues that don’t affect trading, such as fewer deposit options than listed, and the market analysis and news are outdated.
- Deposit methods: The LHFX website advertises several deposit methods, but we found only one available when we reviewed LHFX in October 2026.
- Spread figures: The spreads figures displayed by LHFX were sometimes inaccurate during our October 2026 review.
- Outdated content: LHFX does not keep the content on its website and social media channels up to date.
- Regulatory status: Global LHFX clients contract with Longhorn Ltd under the low-tier FSC of Mauritius license, not with the South African entity.
- Client agreement: LHFX presents its client agreement loosely at account opening, on a webpage rather than as a formal downloadable document.
