One trading platform under two web addresses, warned about in two countries

Regulators in Canada and Australia each warned about a different web address. The website at po.financial is a copy of pocketoption.com with the brand changed to “PO TRADE”.

What links them

The British Columbia Securities Commission warned about po.financial; IOSCO’s investor alerts portal listed the warning on 25 June 2026, listing it as “PO TRADE”. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission warned about pocketoption.com; IOSCO’s investor alerts portal listed the warning on 20 July 2026.

When we read the two websites in October 2026, they showed the same page title, “The Most Innovative Trading Platform”, the same feature texts and the same 20 customer reviews, with the same reviewer numbers and dates. On po.financial the brand name in the text is “PO TRADE”, but one of the copied reviews still says the customer has been trading “on pocketoption”.

Why one platform uses several addresses

A second address can keep a platform reachable when one address is warned about or blocked. If you dealt with “PO TRADE”, the warning about pocketoption.com is relevant to you too, and the other way round.
