They don't give you a refund. I'm still waiting

My name is jangsooyoung. The deposit caused by the payment problem has been delayed and this deposit has to be refunded to me from octafx. But they're delaying this refund and I've been having this unpleasantness for two weeks.I was expecting a quick refund due to their quick response but they are just asking me to wait.I'm not sure if they really refund my deposit.

Unable to Withdraw

Extremely Poor Support with No Resolution or Clear

I have been using Octa for a while, but recent experiences have been extremely disappointing. For over two weeks now, I've been facing an issue that was supposedly escalated to their finance team and senior management, but there has been no resolution or clear update on what's happening. Despite repeated follow-ups, all I get are generic statements like: "Our processing department is still in the midst of investigating this issue." "This will be the report number that has been escalated to our finance team regarding this clarification: 3858103" "Please know that we're taking this issue very seriously and are working to resolve it as quickly as possible." No SLAs or ETAs have been provided, and it feels like the finance team is running the entire operation with no accountability to the customers. It's honestly frustrating to see no concrete progress despite my issue being escalated to high-level management. I would urge others to be cautious when dealing with Octa.

    This is my choice and I like how tight spreads they provide on the forex market. Moreover, they don't even charge any commissions for overnight positions. It’s incredible!
