Fidelcrest Relaunches Under New Ownership with Revamped Programs
After months of operational uncertainty and community concern, Fidelcrest has officially relaunched under new ownership. The new management team has outlined a comprehensive restructuring plan that addresses the key issues that plagued the firm in late 2025.
What Happened
In late 2025, Fidelcrest experienced significant operational issues including delayed payouts, unresponsive customer support, and sudden rule enforcement changes. Many traders feared the firm was heading toward closure. The original ownership team stepped back, and a new investor group acquired the firm's assets and brand.
The New Fidelcrest
Restructured Programs:
- Simplified from 6 program types to 3 clear tiers (Starter, Growth, Elite)
- All programs now use a 2-step evaluation model
- Profit splits start at 80% with scaling to 90%
Updated Payout Process:
- Bi-weekly payout cycle (down from 30 days)
- Payouts processed via Deel (global payment infrastructure)
- 48-hour processing guarantee
Legacy Trader Obligations:
- All outstanding payouts from the previous regime will be honored
- Legacy funded accounts preserved with original terms
- 30-day transition period for account verification
Our Take
We're cautiously optimistic. The new ownership team has deep fintech experience and appears well-capitalized. However, given the firm's troubled recent history, we recommend that traders start with smaller account sizes and verify payout reliability before committing to larger evaluations. We will continue monitoring Fidelcrest closely.
