From my experience navigating various forex brokers, understanding the fee structure around deposits and withdrawals is critical to transparent and cost-effective trading. With Standard Bank, I noted that while they don't charge transaction fees on trades themselves, there is a specific cost applied to deposits—a US$0.05 fee per deposit. For me, even though the fee appears minimal, I approach any fee structure with caution, as these small costs can accumulate over time, impacting my overall returns, especially for frequent funding activities. On the withdrawal side, based on the available information, there is no explicit mention of withdrawal charges. However, since Standard Bank operates without regulatory oversight, I find it prudent not to make assumptions about the absence of hidden fees or future changes in policy. For my own trading activity, I always clarify such details directly with any broker before committing larger amounts, particularly with those that aren’t regulated. Transparency in all fund-related processes is essential for trust, and in cases where a broker lacks full regulatory clarity or detailed disclosures, I stay extra vigilant and conservative with my capital.
