Unable to Withdraw

It showed on the that my money was successfully withdrawn, but I haven't received it for more than 20 days.

In May 2021, I transferred 20,000 USD to the third-party personal account designated byplatform(Website:http://account.alanglobalbink.net/)through the Ant Jiahui Technology Group Co., Ltd. The foreign exchange trading is carried out by the Ant Jiahui, and both parties share the profits on the 1st of each month.Since I can't withdraw my money smoothly in August, I applied for withdrawl on September 1st, and it showed successfully withdrawn the next day, but more than 20 days passed, I still haven't received my money. The reason they said is that the foreign exchange policy of the host country is restricted so the funds are frozen. Initially, I contact the customer service of this platform, and they told me they were solving this problem, but they didn't told me when it can be resolved, and after I kept asking, they said it can be settled in 5 business day after October 1. But they suddenly dismissed 95% of its employees, and all the senior managers seemed to disappear. The withdrawl probblem had not been solved in September 20. Therefore, I can't trust the platform any more, I would like to defend my rights through this platform. Thank you very much! Looking forward to your reply!

    Moreover, the broker offers leverage up to 1:100 and spread ranging from 0.9 pips for EURUSD to 20 pips for USCHN. But both leverage and spread changes according to market conditions, traders should keep close eyes on the latest information.

The status of the licenses raises significant concerns about the broker's legitimacy and credibility.

    A Malaysian trader said customer service of ALANFX did not allow her to withdraw her money even though she completed the required volume of transactions. They asked her to retrade after clicking the customer service button and disappeared.

    Conclusion

    In conclusion, though the company offers a wide range of financial instruments, tiered accounts for varying experience levels, zero fees for account opening/ deposit/ withdrawal, and the reputable MT5 trading platfrom, the downsides overwhelm pros, making it a less preferable choice for traders. Its revoked FCA, ASIC and unauthorized NFA regulatory status, inaccessible website and a large number of exposures to withdrawal difficulties raise questions about its legality, reliability and credibility.

    All these factors imply that ALANFX might be a scam broker that you will lose all your funds trading with them since you cannot withdraw. Therefore, choosing well-regulated alternatives with reputable track records is our heartfelt suggestion to you.
