I encountered significant issues with withdrawals from my XTB account. After requesting a withdrawal, it took over two weeks for any response, and my funds are still tied up. Customer support was unresponsive, leaving me frustrated and worried about the possibility of a scam. Definitely not a trustworthy experience so far.

XTB has a great trading platform that is user-friendly. I appreciate the variety of instruments available and the educational resources they provide. However, the verification process took longer than expected. Overall, I’m satisfied with the trading experience and the speed at which I can execute trades.

My experience with XTB has been terrible. The account activation process was complicated, and the customer service was almost non-existent. I felt like I was being ignored when I reached out for help. I regret choosing this broker and would not recommend it to anyone.

I had a very positive experience with XTB. The app interface is clean and easy to navigate, and I love the range of stocks and commodities available for trading. The customer support team has been helpful, and I even received a free share when I signed up. Overall, very pleased!
