actually im not asking a question any more.ive already found the answers i needed.sorry if ive been rambling a bit but ive been sharing information as and when it occurred.the problem in the first place was that i was thinking banc de binary were a scam site after reading through the pages on here.luckily i found the cysec directive within these pages which clearly showed i could indeed have access to a withdrawal if needed.
then it was explained to me that i could certainly do this but that there would be an up to a 30% fee attached to such a request.
at that point i contacted the legal department for CYSEC and voiced my concerns with them.
their reply i have already posted but ill do it again.
The particular circular states that clients’ funds are ‘…free to withdraw at all times and whenever the client wishes….’. As such and as an initial response to your request, it is hard to find reason behind the practice of Banc De Binary Ltd to impose a 30% fee/handling fee on your funds. It seems as if this is not in line with the relevant legislation of the Commission. Having said that though, we strongly urge you to submit a complaint to the Commission via the link
Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, in order to investigate all parameters of the issue. Please make sure that you include all supporting documents of your claim (i.e. screen shot of your account, the particular website that your registered with, transcript of the conversation with the broker mentioned specifying also his/her name, the amount of funds deposited, the amount of the fee requested in monetary value, the balance of your account, etc) in order to be effectively and thoroughly investigated.
so at the moment im happy to pursue things for myself.i will be speaking directly to the representatives of banc de binary so that we may resolve the issue without any further problems.obviously if they are less than satisfactory in their reply then ill pursue matters through CYSEC,but i dont think they would risk their license by choosing this course of action.
and hopefully they will look at this and remove the 'up to 30% charge on withdrawals' clause as i am getting the impression from CYSEC that it is not acceptable behaviour from one of their regulated clients.
however the crux of all this is to enlighten the many visitors to this site about the TRUTH behind the terms and conditions from ANY SUCH COMPANY registered with CYSEC so that they be well informed if the same thing happens to them.
