ExposureHEADWAY Review: Broker Complaints Point to Withdrawals, Zeroed Balances, and Login Blocks

HEADWAY carries an active South Africa FSCA record, but WikiFX has received 87 complaints in the past 3 months, including a 2026 report that a profit withdrawal failed before the balance suddenly became zero. Treat this broker as high-risk until withdrawal, execution, and account-access complaints are independently resolved.

ExposureHEADWAY Review 2026: Is This Forex Broker Safe?

HEADWAY is a South Africa-regulated forex broker with a WikiFX Score of 4.42. It offers MT4/MT5, a proprietary mobile app, three account types, low stated entry thresholds, and high leverage, but WikiFX records a large volume of user complaints involving withdrawals, slippage, platform freezes, account access, and bonus-related disputes. Overall, the broker shows regulated status under the South Africa FSCA, yet the complaint density and low WikiFX score indicate that traders should approach with caution.
