I have been trying to withdraw my funds for weeks now, and every time I contact customer support, I get vague answers and no real help. This is unacceptable. I will not be using Meiwa Securities again.

The interface is outdated and hard to navigate. I faced issues with my account that took too long to resolve. I expected better service from a regulated broker.
