In my experience evaluating brokers, legitimacy involves not just regulatory status but also company transparency, risk management, and the consistency of user feedback. Upbest is regulated in Hong Kong for dealing in futures contracts and its office existence has reportedly been confirmed. This gives some initial assurance, considering Hong Kong's established regulatory framework. However, even with regulation, my approach is always cautious, especially with companies that are relatively new to the forex and commodities trading scene like Upbest, which has been operating for less than a year under its listed entity. Looking into user feedback, I noticed mixed experiences: one user reported a serious issue involving suspected bank card fraud linked with the company, and claimed they received unsatisfactory follow-up from Upbest’s customer support. Another, however, described responsive support and professional conduct. These conflicting reports reinforce my belief in the need for thorough due diligence. Personally, I would closely monitor regulatory status, search for additional user reviews, and be wary of any unresolved or serious complaints before engaging with any firm. For me, Upbest presents potential but, given the short operating history and presence of a concerning negative report, it does not fully meet my criteria for high trustworthiness at this stage. I believe conservative evaluation is justified until more consistent and positive transparency is established over time.
