Which documents do I need to provide to complete my initial withdrawal with First State Futures?
Based on my experience opening and withdrawing funds from various forex brokers, including regional entities such as First State Futures, I always start by ensuring that my identity is fully verified to avoid any unnecessary delays. First State Futures, as per its regulatory obligations in Indonesia, typically requires personal identification documents and proof of account ownership, especially since deposits and withdrawals are only processed to and from bank accounts in the client’s own name. For my initial withdrawal, I prepared a valid government-issued photo ID (such as a passport or national ID card), proof of address (for example, a recent utility bill or bank statement showing my name and residential address), and documents showing the bank account matches my registration details. This is standard practice in the industry to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and to confirm the source and destination of funds. I also made sure to use the same payment method and bank account that I used during my deposit, as their procedures only allow withdrawals via the original deposit channel. In my cautious view, contacting their customer support before initiating a withdrawal is prudent. This approach helps me verify which documents are currently required, as requirements can change, and ensures my withdrawal request is processed smoothly. Carefully following these steps gives me peace of mind and reduces the risk of complications.
