This company is fraudulent

This company is fraudulent. They sent me a signed offer letter confirming that I was hired, then informed me that I needed to obtain a CCXP certificate in order to start the job.
After I paid USD 100 for the certificate, they completely stopped responding. I never received any follow-up email, and none of my messages were answered.
This experience was misleading, unprofessional, and a waste of money.
I strongly advise others to be very careful when dealing with this company. I had all emails from sarwa with this logo and signed from Miss. ELIZABETH DONAGHY chief operation office, and an offer letter from SARWA with the same logo so plz don’t say you don’t have an application because I have all the proofs.

Dear Pauline,

Thank you for your message, we are aware of the scam and are dealing with this through appropriate legal channels.

We have reviewed our records and can confirm that there is no record of an application submitted by you through Sarwa’s official careers page, nor any interview request by a Sarwa employee, nor an offer. As such, we are unable to identify or validate the offer you reference.

Please note that Sarwa only conducts recruitment through its official careers page and authorised company representatives using verified Sarwa email addresses. If you believe you may have been contacted by a third party purporting to represent Sarwa, we recommend exercising caution, as this may be a fraudulent solicitation.

For any legitimate opportunities with Sarwa, please apply directly via our official careers page.

All our best,
The Sarwa team

No transparency and low knowledge, service

i was with this platform for last two years ( better to say stuck with them due my open trade position) in the beginning they have been calling me every day for 2-3 times to start a trading with them, its free of charge, when ive opened account, ive been realised very low knowledge of trading at all, yesterday ive opened limit order for crypto, the price was even low than the limit and it was not executed, ive asked the customer service ( also very poor customer service, dont know anything) they told ,me that there 1,5% commission and thats why it was not executed, what kind of commission and why it was not mentioned in the platform before to place the order, and more concern tomorrow they will say 10% or 50% commission. This platform has got fined from Abu Dhabi regulator.

Takes 4 days to move cash from Sarwa SAVE to TRADE accounts!

so sarwa has a SAVE and TRADE account. So you can keep money in the SAVE account with a not terrible 4.5% rate of interest.
If you need to trade, you need to shift money from the SAVE to the TRADE.
Problem is it can take 2 to 4 days to happen!? Bizzarre. Like they're at 2 different banks? WTF?
The whole point of having a cash account is to get a little interest on the odds and sods left over from trading. Since it is impossible to capitalise on market movements without readily available cash, it defeats the whole purpose of an interest bearing cash account.
So I cancelled and went to IBKR.

I had very bad experience with sarwa

I had very bad experience with sarwa
1. They don't have knowledgeable workforce to answer the miscalculation happend in my trading account, from last 3 week they are unable to provide realize profit from one bitcoin sell trade.
2. The statement which they provide it's completely rubbish and useless, nowdays even small broker guesses better statement
3. Don't fall for small broker, they manage customers money through so call unique avg buy and sell calculations
4. I believe it is shell company having no actual trade on real share market.

Would recommend go to any trusted broker except sarwa

Help Team not there

Simple to use, great for beginners, even easier for UAE residents. Sarwa Help team is kind and efficient when you get to connect with them.
However, I raised a security question on a Sunday night and here I am on the day after at 4PM, after 2 reminders plus connecting over whatsapp as well as email, and still no answer from the Help team. What a shame.

Good but not the best

What I hate is that they don't have web based trading. The app needs lot of improvement, it's too basic. The advantage for UAE people is that there are no conversion/deposit/withdrawal fees and I hope this remains the same in the future.

After 1 year with Sarwa

I have been with Sarwa for approximately a year now and so far it's doing great a very easy and smart way to invest and have an account that is managed perfectly.
It's always a pleasure chating with Mr. Amen, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From our initial chat to our detailed video call, he provided clear, insightful guidance that truly put me at ease. Mr. Amen took the time to understand my financial goals and offered personalized advice that I found incredibly valuable. It's rare to find someone so dedicated to helping clients succeed. I highly recommend Mr. Amen to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and supportive financial advisor. Thank you for your excellent service!!

Akshay Iyer was extremley professional and took me through all the details required for me to navigate through the Sarwa system
the process of setting up the call and reminders being sent as we are nearing the day for the call was a good way of not missing out on the call
I like the entire experience of trading on Sarwa as it is seamless and easy for anyone to understan
Thank you & highly recommend using Sarwa
