What to verify when an investment platform moves your account

Preserve the original agreement

Practical checklist · not an audit of another provider

Save the terms, balances, deposits and withdrawal requests before relying on a new portal. Record which entity originally accepted your funds. A migration announcement should identify the receiving entity, what is transferred and what happens to existing obligations. If those details are missing, keep them as unanswered questions rather than assuming continuity.

Check the claimed reason and the outcome

Practical checklist · not an audit of another provider

A hack, maintenance event or restructuring is a claim that needs dated evidence. Separately check whether any completed transfer to an account you control occurred. The OmegaPro charging account shows why a move to another named platform should not be described as a repayment merely because new login details appear.

Reject pressure to pay for the transition

Practical checklist · not an audit of another provider

Treat unexplained activation, tax or migration payments as a reason to pause and verify independently. Check any claimed authorisation with the relevant regulator; the FCA resource applies specifically to UK consumers. Preserve communications and transaction details if you suspect deception. Do not assume that entering another platform removes the need to document the original payment trail.

Keep a migration reconciliation

Practical checklist · not an audit of another provider

Save the old account identifier, balance, asset units and terms before comparing the new account. Record the new legal operator, conversion rules, fees, withdrawal rights and any waiver you are asked to accept. Put an internal balance entry and an actual bank or blockchain transfer in different columns. Preserve the first explanation for the migration and each later revision. Do not send money to activate the replacement account merely because the displayed balance matches the old one; the matching number alone does not establish a transfer of value.
