I deposited funds into my IQ OPTION BROKER account, but I faced issues when trying to withdraw my money. It took longer than expected, and customer support was not very helpful. I would recommend caution when using this broker.

I regret choosing IQ OPTION BROKER. I was unable to withdraw my funds after trading, and customer support was unresponsive. This lack of support and the inability to access my money is extremely concerning.
