Based on my experience with brokers regulated in Hong Kong, such as ChaoShang, I had to be especially attentive to verification procedures before making an initial withdrawal. Because ChaoShang is regulated by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), I found their compliance requirements to be reasonably strict—this is typical for SFC-licensed institutions. Although ChaoShang's WikiFX profile doesn't list withdrawal documents explicitly, it's common for such brokers to require proof of identity (usually a passport or government-issued ID) and proof of address (for example, a recent utility bill or bank statement) to satisfy anti-money laundering regulations. In my case, I made sure that my name and details on the bank account matched those on my trading account. The process usually included uploading these documents through the broker’s mobile or web platform, and sometimes ChaoShang’s team verified details by contacting me directly, especially for the first withdrawal. I exercised extra caution ensuring the documents were up-to-date and clearly legible, as incomplete submissions could delay processing. Given the local regulatory environment and typical industry practices, I wouldn’t expect a withdrawal to be processed if this step wasn’t completed thoroughly. My advice is to prepare these documents in advance, and be mindful that requirements may change at the broker’s discretion or due to regulatory updates.
