Selamat malam, saya Rico Nurhidayat ingin menyampaikan permasalahan mengenai penarikan dana yang tidak bisa dilakukan sudah hampir 2 minggu, saya juga menanyakan permasalahan saya terhadap customer service di platform tersebut, mereka hanya memberikan alasan dana sedang di proses dengan departemen Keuangan dan harap menunggu, tetapi tidak ada kejelasan dan hanya di suruh menunggu, saya hubungan di hari berikutnya tetap dengan alasan yang sama, dan juga pemberitahuan kalau akun yang saya miliki sedang di investigasi, customer service tersebut juga menyarankan untuk kirim email, saya sudah mengirimkan email namun balasan nya tetap hal yang sama harus menunggu dan akun sedang di investigasi, setelah beberapa hari saya konfirmasi lewat email, platform tersebut berkomentar dengan alasan jumlah deposit tidak lebih besar dari profit yang di dapatkan, hal ini membuat kami berkesimpulan bawahan kita harus deposit dengan nominal yang besar agar bisa mendapatkan kelancaran penarikan dana, sebab j

Saya trading di octafx sejak tahun 2021, dan selama ini tidak ada masalah mengenai depo ataupun wd. Bbrp bulan ini sy mendapat profit yg cukup besar karena kenaikan harga dari pair xrpusd, maka sy melakukan wd yg cukup sering Setelah bbrp kali wd, tiba2 acc saya tidak bisa diverifikasi dan tidak bisa wd. Saya tanyakan lewat email dan live chat dan diberitahu bahwa acc sy sedang diperiksa aml dan diminta acc statement depo bank sejak bulan maret sampai desember. Segera saya siapkan acc statement bank dan lgs sy kirim ke support octa. Setelah bbrp hari saya mendapay email dr kyc octa yg mengatakan bahwa acc saya sudah terverifikasi dan dapat depo ataupun wd, lalu saya pub mencoba wd. Tetapi status wd selalu pending, dan setelah sy tanyakan ke live chat katanya acc saya masih diperiksa dengan jangka waktu yang tidak biaa ditentukan. broker besar octa menahan profit client yg menjadi hak saya.

I have uses Octa for about 6 months when they started playing games. I was profiting about 15K USD (Fix Rate). When I wanted to withdraw, they say a lot of excuses to delay my withdrawal. Some of these reasons include: We need to verify with the bank, we are waiting for the funds provider, holiday season, etc… And then after 1 week from my withdrawal request, they say my account is under investigation for suspicious activities. Yeah, the suspicious activities that they were referring to was I was profiting a lot…hahhahaha. Then i was informed they do this routinely to make sure their clients’ funds are safe. But when i asked my friends who used Octa, they never have this happened to them because they were profiting way less than me. And the. after almost 3 weeks, they finally approved my withdrawl request. aAnd one more thing, their customer service are basically all robots. they use fake names amd profile pictures. Please dont use Octa.

I have been a client of Octa Markets Ltd since 29-July-2024. The first deposit of USD19,000 was made on 29-Jul-2024, and the first withdrawal USD32,000 was made on 14-Aug-2024. On 10-Sep-2024, I submitted a request to withdraw USD13,000 from my account. Despite complying with all necessary verification processes and providing the required documentation, my withdrawal request has been unjustly denied. Now I can't login to my account! This has caused me significant distress and financial inconvenience. Despite my attempts to resolve this issue directly with Octa Markets Ltd through their customer support, I have not received a satisfactory response or a clear explanation for the denial of my withdrawal. The lack of transparency and the refusal to release my funds suggest potential misconduct or malpractice.

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.

I deposited 9900 on June 17th to the Octa platform. Due to the platform's bonus promotion and high leverage, my funds doubled within a month. At this point, I wanted to withdraw the profits, but the platform refused my withdrawal request and asked me to provide KYC and three months of USDT wallet transaction records. After providing the requested documents, the platform claimed that I engaged in unauthorized trading. However, I traded normally, placing manual orders without delay or pushing positions. They want to deduct my profits and I even considered just getting back my initial investment. It has been almost three months now, and my initial investment has still not been withdrawn. Every time I communicate with the platform via email, their response is either that they are handling my withdrawal request normally or that it has been forwarded to the finance department. I hope that through Tianyan, the platform will address this issue correctly. Thank you.
