In my experience as a trader, when I make my initial withdrawal with a well-regulated broker like Citadel Securities, I expect to provide several standard documents, even if the process seems straightforward based on user feedback. Since Citadel Securities is regulated in Hong Kong by the SFC and has been operating globally for over 15 years, strict adherence to compliance and anti-money laundering rules is routine. For me, this has always meant submitting proof of identity (such as a government-issued ID or passport) and proof of address (like a utility bill or official bank statement not older than three months). Sometimes, the broker might also ask for verification of my bank account or payment method, particularly if I’m using a new withdrawal channel. The underlying reason is regulatory: these measures help prevent fraud and ensure the funds go to the rightful account holder. I have found that Citadel Securities emphasizes security and reliability for deposits and withdrawals, supporting a variety of payment channels. While the actual process of opening an account and starting transactions appears efficient, in practice, preparing my documents in advance always streamlines my first withdrawal. I always recommend keeping digital copies of all required documents handy to avoid any withdrawal delays or unexpected compliance requests, which are not uncommon at the initial stage with reputable institutions.
