Unable to withdraw

I opened an account on Swissquote in July, 2018 via an IB, depositing $2,000. And now there is $2,033 in my account. I am so busy so I don't have enough time to trade. I wanna withdraw funds. But the IB hasn't replied to me after I had communicated with her. My agent is Fang Fu.

Scam

Be careful! The client manager is not regulated and can change the bank rules at will!

Third-party transfer is supported when opening an account. It's kind of friendly to begin with. After all the funds were deposited, their attitude changed quickly. Third-party transfers are no longer supported. The transfer I am talking about here is the transfer to a third-party personal account, not risk funds or transfer to other trading platforms and not even money laundering. And its official website so far says it supports third-party transfers. I'm still a frequent trader. But the client manager directly announced that it does not support or provide third-party transfer services, and refused to give a reason. Be careful, everyone: Swissquote's client managers can set their own rules and are not bound by Swissquote's rules. Even complaining does not solve the problem. This shows that the bank manager defaults that the client manager can not abide by the bank's rules and not give any reason to restrict the user's account functions. It is very convenient when the money goes in, but it is too difficult to withdraw the money. I contacted with the customer service manager, but there was no answer at all. This bank is totally dishonest and ride roughshod over its clients, and the client manager is very rude.. Like others such as Interactive Brokers and XM, all emails are 100% replied and they are very honest and professional. At least, they respect clients. Swissquote is the most arrogant and rude platform I have ever traded with. It's self-destructive for them to be dishonest and bully customers.

    Swissquote service level and quality are pretty good, I trade EUR/USD, the spreads are relatively high compared to other brokers. And, nevertheless, there are new challenges ahead. Anyway, so you can trade.

    Swissquotes trading platform is lightning-fast. The order execution leaves no one cold, and there are no screw-ups. Everything is on another level here and you can trade freely like a real race.

    If you don't have money to burn, you can practice using virtual currency. For this, a free practice account should be opened on the site. The broker does not compensate for commissions charged by third parties.

    资金安全有保障, 瑞士最大且唯一一家上市外汇银行, 单个账户享受十万瑞郎保障计划,在当前大离岸监管时代背景下, 银行机构是比较安全的。 FINMA也是目前中国大陆客户唯一能够享受到有资金安全保障的机构!!
