I faced significant delays with my withdrawal requests. It took nearly two weeks for my funds to arrive, and the customer support was not very helpful in providing updates.

I was very disappointed with the lack of support. I had questions about setting up my account, and it was difficult to get timely help. This has made my trading experience frustrating.
