I have faced issues even trying to withdraw 500 EUR (which I did as a test to overcome the AML compliance obstacles; hoping that next time, when it's urgent, it will go smoother, as I would have warmed up the account so to speak).inector said:
If I have invested 500k with IBKR EU business account into bonds, mutual funds, and stocks - how quickly can I turn it into cash? Withdrawn to the bank.
Would I pay withholding tax for the withdrawn 500k (assuming no dividends in the year)?
Are there any fees or issues with withdrawing anyway

personal or business account ?
I had such experience once with a business account, while cashing out to the very same company account from where a deposit was made.
Guys, it is for your own safety (or the one for your to be inherited money's). The banks are asking to warn your or alert the police if you are becoming victim of fraud. You can maybe check this one:Don said:

I guess that is the new normal. In 2024, one has to put up with this BS.

Generally not. But to be fairly honest, all those questions would not come up if there were not some people who went too far in the past. UBS and CS were among those.cryptofriendly said:
Is it for the same 'own safety', for which they locked down the world, create AML regulations and loose customer data to hackers, and shows us that in reality our 'human rights' are nothing more than temporary permissions?
