Milton Prime tells you that 100% of withdrawal requests are processed and that no funds are ever withheld. Its AML policy lets the company block your account and suspend operations until an investigation ends.
Why this matters
You are choosing this broker on a promise the contract does not make. If Milton Prime calls a payment suspicious, its AML policy lets it hold your money. No clause sets a deadline for the investigation.
Exhibit 1Every flagged clause gets its own number so you can point at this one. The number does not change, so a link to it keeps working.CriticalHow much this clause can cost you, in our reading. Critical can take your money or your profit. Warning can delay or limit it. Notice is simply worth knowing before you sign.Harder than usualHow ordinary this wording looks next to the contracts we read. This is our reading of the clause, not a count of other brokers.100%The figure this clause puts a number on, taken from the broker's own words.
In case of evidence of suspicious transactions in your account, cash replenishments from untrusted sources (for example, the sender's data and the account owner's data are different), and/or any actions with attributes of fraud (including refunds or payment cancellations), the Company reserves the right to conduct an internal investigation, block or close your account, cancel any payment or trading order, and suspend operations on the accounts until the end of the official investigation.
Firms licensed by the FCA and CySEC must make sure any promotion is fair, clear and not misleading, and consistent with their own terms. Milton Prime's withdrawals page says no funds are ever withheld, and its AML policy reserves the right to suspend operations on your account.
Milton Prime is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.
- Worse together with Exhibit 2Read these two clauses together. Each one costs more because the other exists.The marketing rules out the exact power the AML policy grants, so a reader has no reason to look for it.
