常問問題
1. Could I use the USD deposit and withdrawal services provided by Customers Bank after KGI Bank’s USD deposit and withdrawal services are launched on June 18th?
In order to provide you with secure and fast USD deposit and withdrawal services, we will introduce KGI Bank’s USD trust and USD deposit and withdrawal services starting from June 18th, and terminate Customers Bank’s USD deposit and withdrawal services in Taiwan’s market. During this period, if you still wish to use Customers Bank for USD deposit and withdrawal, please arrange your transactions before June 17th, 23:59 to avoid any impact on your transactions.
2. Previously, I could use my existing bank USD account, along with Customers Bank from the United States as a channel, to perform USD deposits and withdrawals. Now, why do I need to open a KGI Bank account to use KGI Bank’s USD deposit and withdrawal services?
According to the “Self-Regulatory Standards for Establishing Business Relationships and Transaction Monitoring between Banks and Virtual Asset Service Providers” issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, Taiwanese citizens and individual users must open a KGI Bank account to access KGI Bank’s USD trust services and USD deposit and withdrawal services. With KGI Bank’s USD deposit and withdrawal services, Taiwanese users gain access to USD trust services and can enjoy “instant USD deposits and next-day withdrawals” in the fastest scenario, with zero bank remittance fees.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this adjustment to the USD deposit and withdrawal services and hope that the new services will provide you with a safer and smoother transaction experience.
3. What’s the difference between using KGI Bank for USD deposits and withdrawals and the previous USD deposit and withdrawal services?
Previously, users had to allow for longer transaction times or deposit large amounts to optimize bank remittance fees. With KGI Bank’s USD deposit and withdrawal services, Taiwanese users gain access to USD trust services and can enjoy “instant USD deposits and next-day withdrawals” in the fastest scenario, with zero bank remittance fees. This allows for convenient transactions even for small amounts. With USD trust management, combined with efficient and convenient deposit and withdrawal services, XREX users can now enjoy upgraded USD services!
4. What should I do if there is a remaining USD balance in my XREX wallet?
If you have a USD balance in your XREX wallet, you can withdraw* it via Customers Bank until June 17th, 23:59. Following the termination of USD services with Customers Bank on June 18th, you will need to open a KGI account to access USD deposit and withdrawal services through KGI Bank. If you haven’t opened a KGI account, you can convert the USD balance into stablecoins or cryptocurrencies for withdrawal, or convert it to TWD and withdraw it through your linked TWD bank account.
* Withdrawals from now until June 17th will be exempt from the 0.1% withdrawal fees, and XREX will refund the withdrawal fees (in USDT) to your wallet by July 31st.
