As someone who’s navigated initial withdrawals with various brokers, I approach any unregulated broker like Standard Bank with particular caution. The WikiFX data doesn’t clearly list the specific documents required for the initial withdrawal process. However, based on my experience with brokers—especially ones operating without regulatory oversight—I am always prepared to provide several standard documents: typically, a government-issued ID (like a passport or driver’s license), recent proof of address, and, sometimes, a bank statement or additional verification if the transaction is processed via bank transfer. The context reveals that Standard Bank primarily handles deposits and withdrawals through bank transfers and charges a small deposit fee, but it does not state their exact KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures. Because they are not regulated, I find this lack of transparency concerning; in regulated environments, the minimum documentation is clearly outlined for AML (Anti-Money Laundering) compliance. Without oversight, requirements can be inconsistent, and processing may be unpredictable. For me, this uncertainty is a significant red flag, and I would never proceed without directly contacting their support for explicit instructions before initiating any withdrawal, simply to mitigate potential complications. Caution is paramount in these cases.
