I had issues with withdrawals from my RHB account. It took much longer than expected to process, and I struggled to get in touch with customer support for assistance. They were not very responsive, which added to my frustration. I hope they improve their support service in the future.

Overall, RHB has been a reliable broker for my trading needs. The MT4 platform is user-friendly and offers a good range of tools. I appreciate the tight spreads on major forex pairs. My only minor complaint is the time it takes for customer support to respond, but the trading experience has been positive.

I’m extremely disappointed with RHB. After making a deposit, I faced issues accessing my account. It took me several attempts to reach customer service, and even then, they were unhelpful. I felt completely stuck and frustrated, and I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone.

RHB has been great for my trading activities. The range of instruments available is impressive, and I love the flexibility of the mobile app. Transactions are generally seamless, and I feel supported by their customer service when I have questions. Highly recommend for both new and experienced traders!
