In my experience as a forex trader, the withdrawal process is a vital aspect when evaluating any broker, especially when transferring funds to a bank account or e-wallet. CITIC SECURITIES, regulated by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong, outlines that transfers must be made through a client’s own bank account—third-party deposits and withdrawals, as well as cash transactions, are not permitted. While these procedures generally indicate a commitment to compliance and anti-fraud measures, I have not found any official commitment or disclosure from CITIC SECURITIES regarding specific withdrawal timeframes. Based on the context and user exposures, there appear to be repeated reports of significant delays and difficulties in the withdrawal process, including requests for additional fees or “risk control” charges before funds are released. Some users have even claimed that withdrawals were blocked under varying pretexts or required the completion of additional “tasks.” These user experiences suggest the possibility of extended delays or obstacles, which goes against the industry standard where withdrawals to bank accounts or e-wallets typically process within one to five business days, barring complications. Given such reports, I exercise extreme caution and would personally not rely on CITIC SECURITIES for timely withdrawals. For me, transparency and prompt fund access are non-negotiable, and the lack of clarity or consistency around withdrawal times at this broker is a substantial concern. Anyone considering this platform should be prepared for potential delays and thoroughly review all policies—and recent user experiences—before depositing funds.
