Very unhappy customer

OCTAFX T DON'T WANT TO APPROVE MY WITH DRAWAL Octafx rejected my withdrawals because my old card has expired

Recently I made a deposit with my bank account the deposit was successfull I traded and made some profits. I now want to withdraw and they said they want the proof of ownership of the card. The FNB bank card is expired and I have a new card. Now they want all bank statements including from other bank accounts showing deposits to Octa from January 2025. The banks can’t give proof of cards but only through the system that shows that the card has expired. I have forwarded the statement the bank letter showing that card has expired. FNB also said they can't provide any proof and they are not allowed to draft the letter or write an email regarding a card. What amazes me is that the recent deposit was made through internet banking not a card but they want proof ownership of a card. Yet I have forwarded the bank statement.

Why take a deposit yet, reject a withdrawal. Should you not also reject a deposit

Instead of blocking a withdrawal rather send a notification to alert a customer that you require verification on certain documents, right now you withholding my funds is a matter of life and death.

People be careful of Octa
