From my perspective as an experienced forex trader, I approach the question of PNB’s legitimacy and security for trading with caution. PNB, or Philippine National Bank, has a very established history in the Philippines dating back over a century, and it offers extensive banking and investment services both locally and internationally. However, when evaluating PNB purely as a broker for trading—particularly in the forex and securities markets—I have some serious reservations that would prevent me from considering it as a secure option for myself. The most critical concern for me is that PNB is not regulated by any financial authority, whether within the Philippines or internationally. As a trader, I know how important oversight from bodies like the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), SEC, FCA, or ASIC is for verifying a broker’s conduct, ensuring adequate client fund protection, and offering recourse in case of disputes. Without any such regulation in place, it’s impossible for me to verify that my funds would be safeguarded or that trading activities would be conducted according to industry standards. Additionally, the WikiFX review highlights a high potential risk and suspicious regulatory status, which further lowers my confidence. I noticed there is no mention of core forex trading features, such as leverage, spreads, or a recognized trading platform—those are essential in my evaluation. While PNB has an impressive branch network and supports various traditional banking features, these are not substitutes for the protections and transparency required in the online trading sector. Given these factors, I do not feel comfortable trusting PNB as a secure broker for trading. For me, regulatory clarity and transparent trading conditions remain non-negotiable for any broker I use.
