Yesterday was a nightmare for Finvasia clients. Many traders have faced huge losses due to the technical disaster.
Finvasia had no back up plan to restore the system.
Had faced similar situation with 5 Paisa and left them the next day, now it seems my stint with Finvasia is over. The way things were handled was like an amateur team working on something beyond their capabilities. This sounds an alarm as the level of preparedness was negligible.
Hacking could also be not ruled out but response from Finvasia team to their clients was miserable.
Hacking??? And Finvasia... LOL..kuch bhi CloudTrader!!!
Luckily I ended in green and that too much greener than if I had traded on expiry day with systems working
Totally agree with you that they did not have any back up plan. I wondered why, but then I realised that I dont pay so how can they have one.
I think their team consists of one or two people only at the best, attending chat (under various names) as well as phones (if they get answered, if you are lucky). And the same one or two guys attend their IT infrastructure.
I guess they are totally depended on third party for support, nothing in house.
Agree, that their team is amateur. They can work only as per book, anything out of the book they cant handle.
Certainly, yesterday experience is SOS call. They switched of phones, chat.
I mean there can be issues, but client are not aware what has happened and cant reach them. And the final nail in the coffin is that they couldnt figure out way to restore for the FULL day.
That is it, I am done with them. Not worth going for free lunchs when on any one fine day they burn your house.
Placing full funds withdrawal.
Already have with Upstox and Prostocks. Now going to add Kotak as one more alternative.
