In my experience as a trader, when it comes to making an initial withdrawal from a broker like BBH, the typical expectation is to provide standard identification and verification documents. This almost always includes a government-issued ID (such as a passport or national ID card), proof of address documentation (like a recent utility bill or bank statement), and sometimes confirmation of the funding source (for example, a copy of the credit card or bank account used for deposits). These steps are designed to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and to ensure account security. However, my review of BBH reveals critical red flags that make me particularly cautious. Although BBH is regulated in Hong Kong, there are multiple credible reports of withdrawal problems, including situations where traders were suddenly charged a "10% tax" or asked for additional payments before any funds could be released. In legitimate brokerages, such requests for extra fees or taxes—especially after the balance is already depleted—are highly irregular and potentially signs of fraudulent practices. For me, this means I would proceed with extreme caution and would never provide more than standard KYC documentation. Any broker requesting unexpected payments or withholding withdrawals without clear lawful reason should be treated with skepticism. At the very least, I would ensure all my submitted documents are handled securely, and I would avoid sending extra payments under any circumstance.
