From my experience dealing with regulated financial institutions such as Guosen Securities (HK), you should be prepared for the firm to require a thorough identity and compliance check before processing your initial withdrawal. As Guosen Securities (HK) is regulated by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) in Hong Kong, strict identity verification is standard practice to comply with anti-money laundering and regulatory requirements. Typically, this means I have had to provide government-issued identification, such as a passport or identity card, along with a recent proof of address, like a bank statement or utility bill, to confirm both my identity and residence. In some cases, additional documentation related to the source of funds or further personal verification may be requested, especially for larger withdrawals or if the firm’s compliance team needs more clarity. It's important for me to stress that this process can sometimes be slower if there are any questions or irregularities, and that negative withdrawal reports have surfaced about this broker. That’s why I always ensure my submitted documents are clear, up to date, and match the information on my trading account. Before initiating a withdrawal, I contact customer support directly for confirmation on the latest requirements, as policies might change or evolve. This conservative and careful approach helps protect my funds and ensures the withdrawal process stays as smooth as possible, in line with regulatory demands.
