PU Prime

PU Prime has traded since 2015, originally as Pacific Union, and still uses both names. It runs MetaTrader 4 and 5 plus an in-house app, lists over a thousand instruments including 800+ stock CFDs and 65+ crypto CFDs, and opens accounts from $20 on a Cent tier. It holds an ASIC licence (reported as secured in 2025) and an FSCA one, but most clients contract with the Seychelles company — which carries a live FCA consumer warning last updated in April 2026, plus warnings from the Danish FSA, the French AMF and the Philippines SEC. Public complaints cluster around bonus clawbacks and refused withdrawals. Treat with caution.

Trading restrictionsCommission on Prime and ECN is quoted per lot per side — the round-turn figure stored here is double the advertised number. Deposit-bonus credit is non-withdrawable and is removed proportionally, automatically, on any withdrawal. No guaranteed stop-loss orders. Several national regulators (UK FCA, Danish FSA, French AMF, Philippines SEC) warn that PU Prime is not authorised to solicit their residents; the published restricted-country list does not reflect this.

Score breakdown

How this score was built

Each dimension is scored 0–100 with a written rationale and its own weight. No single unexplained star.

Commercial deals excluded
20%Regulatory & entity clarity40

There is a real ASIC entity and an FSCA one, but the entity most clients contract with is Pacific Union (Seychelles) Limited, and that company holds a live FCA consumer warning last refreshed in April 2026, alongside warnings from the Danish FSA, the French AMF and the Philippines SEC. Trading under two names — Pacific Union and PU Prime — is itself something regulators have flagged. A warning for soliciting without local authorisation is not a fraud finding and several legitimate offshore brokers carry one, but this many, this current, plus the dual-name issue, is a different picture.

15%Cost transparency66

Account tiers and commissions are published and broadly consistent across sources, and commission is quoted per side without much ambiguity. Marked down because genuinely competitive pricing is walled behind a $10,000 ECN minimum, and the Standard tier at 1.3 pips with no commission hides the full cost in the spread.

15%Funding & withdrawal clarity45

The recurring theme in public complaints. Proportional bonus clawback applied automatically on any withdrawal, profit cancellations tied to bonus terms, and individual reports of small withdrawals refused without a clear reason. Unadjudicated user claims rather than findings, but the pattern is specific and clusters around bonuses and payouts.

12%Platform / execution disclosure70

MetaTrader 4 and 5 plus an in-house app with a copy-trading feed and an AutoChartist integration — adequate coverage. No comparable execution-quality statistics are published, and there are no guaranteed stop-loss orders.

12%Country eligibility accuracy44

Multiple national regulators say PU Prime should not be soliciting their residents at all. The company continues to accept clients from several of those jurisdictions, and the public restricted-country list does not reflect the warnings. That is the gap this dimension exists to measure.

12%Terms / promotion fairness50

Bonus credit is non-withdrawable and clawed back proportionally the moment you withdraw — standard in itself, but here it is the mechanism named repeatedly in complaints about cancelled profit. A 100% bonus is also advertised with thinner published terms. Promotions this aggressive, attached to an offshore entity under regulator warnings, warrant caution.

8%Operational history58

Operating since 2015 as Pacific Union, rebranded to PU Prime, with an ASIC authorisation reported as secured in 2025. Ten years of continuous trading is a genuine positive; the rebrand and the recent onshore-licence push against a backdrop of standing warnings keep the score middling.

6%User-feedback quality52

Trustpilot around 3.3/5 — mixed rather than damning, but with a clear cluster of withdrawal and bonus complaints and copy-trading disputes. Enough signal to corroborate the funding-withdrawal concern, not enough to treat as conclusive.

Editor note: The FCA and Danish FSA warnings are confirmed against the regulators' own sites and are current (FCA updated 20 April 2026). Entity licence numbers, account tiers and instrument counts are from secondary reviews — puprime.com returns 403 to automated capture — and need a manual screenshot before this record moves off "user reported". The ASIC authorisation (410681) reported as secured in 2025 needs an ASIC Connect lookup to confirm scope and status. Withdrawal and bonus-clawback complaints are recorded as an unadjudicated user-report signal.
