EGP 1,450 Orange Cash Withdrawal Remains Unpaid
A Quotex customer says a withdrawal that has been pending since Aug. 30 remains unpaid after support attributed the delay to an issue on the payment provider’s side.
The customer, based in Egypt, published an updated complaint on Sept. 6 saying Quotex support had informed them that the external payment provider was experiencing a problem and that work was underway to resolve it.
According to the user, support said the transaction would either proceed automatically to the destination account once the issue was fixed or that the customer would receive a further update.
The funds had still not arrived when the latest review was posted.
The complaint appears to be an update to an earlier review from the same customer rather than a second independent case.
On Sept. 2, the user said they had requested a withdrawal of EGP 1,450 to an Orange Cash wallet on Aug. 30. The transaction continued to display a “Pending confirmation” status several days later.
The customer said previous Orange Cash transactions, including deposits, had worked successfully, making the delay unusual compared with their earlier experience.
The allegations have not been independently verified, and Quotex has not issued a public announcement indicating that Orange Cash withdrawals or its broader payment infrastructure are experiencing an outage.
The latest detail is nevertheless significant because it provides a possible explanation for the delay. Rather than citing account verification, compliance checks or insufficient information from the customer, support allegedly pointed to the payment provider handling the transaction.
Quotex relies on external payment service providers to process some deposits and withdrawals. Its own non-trading operations rules state that withdrawals can be carried out through banks, cards and electronic payment systems depending on the methods available to individual customers.
The rules also acknowledge that failures involving payment service providers or payment systems can affect the timing and conditions of withdrawal requests.
That does not establish that an external provider caused the current Orange Cash delay. The only evidence for that explanation is the customer’s account of their conversation with support.
There are, however, several other recent complaints involving delayed Quotex withdrawals.
A separate customer reported on Aug. 30 that a 1,200 Bangladeshi taka withdrawal to bKash had remained unpaid for 18 days. The user said they had supplied a bKash statement showing the money had not reached the account and repeatedly contacted support without obtaining a resolution.
Another August reviewer said part of a withdrawal remained outstanding for more than three weeks even after other funds had been returned to their Quotex account. That customer said support told them it was waiting on the payment provider.
A Pakistani customer has also been updating a complaint concerning a $45.60 Easypaisa withdrawal that they say has remained unresolved well beyond the expected processing period.
Those complaints involve different countries, payment methods and circumstances. They therefore cannot currently be treated as evidence of one common technical failure.
There are also customers reporting successful payments. A Sept. 3 reviewer, for example, said both deposits and withdrawals had been processed smoothly.
The available evidence therefore points to individual withdrawal disputes rather than a confirmed widespread outage.
Still, the reference to payment providers is worth monitoring because local payment rails are an important part of how internationally operating trading platforms reach customers who may not fund accounts through traditional cards or international bank transfers.
For the Egyptian customer, the immediate issue remains straightforward: more than a week after requesting the EGP 1,450 withdrawal, the money had not arrived.
The next useful development would be confirmation that the transaction has completed, been returned to the trading balance or been identified with a traceable payment reference.
Until then, the case remains an unresolved customer allegation, with Quotex support reportedly saying the bottleneck lies outside its own payment system.
The Payment Provider Explanation Does Not End Quotex’s Responsibility
Blaming a payment provider can be technically accurate without being particularly useful to the customer.
Online trading platforms rarely control the entire chain between a withdrawal request and the final bank account or mobile wallet.
There can be a broker, processor, acquiring bank, local payment gateway and wallet operator involved in moving one relatively small payment. Any one of those links can fail.
From the trader’s perspective, however, that complexity is largely invisible.
The customer requested the withdrawal from Quotex. They did not independently select Quotex’s processor or negotiate with the company operating the payment rail. If the transaction becomes stuck somewhere in the middle, Quotex remains the party the customer expects to resolve it.
That is why the most important issue is not necessarily whether support correctly identified the payment provider as the source of the problem.
It is whether Quotex can track the transaction from beginning to end.
A useful payment-support system should be capable of showing whether the money has actually left the platform, whether the processor accepted it, whether the destination wallet rejected it and whether a reversal is required.
When a customer receives only a message that the provider is “fixing” the problem, they still do not know where their money is.
The relatively small size of this withdrawal also makes the case interesting.
EGP 1,450 is not the kind of transaction that would ordinarily be expected to require an unusually complex compliance investigation. Assuming there are no account-specific factors that have not been disclosed, a technical or payment-routing problem becomes more plausible than it would be with a large or unusual transfer.
But one delayed payment does not make a systemic story.
Even the presence of several recent withdrawal complaints needs to be treated carefully. Quotex operates across numerous countries and payment networks, so delays involving Orange Cash, bKash and Easypaisa may have completely unrelated causes.
A genuine cluster would require multiple customers using the same payment method, in the same market and over roughly the same period reporting matching symptoms.
That is what is still missing.
The stronger editorial signal would be several Orange Cash users suddenly reporting withdrawals stuck at “Pending confirmation,” or Quotex acknowledging a processor disruption affecting Egyptian customers.
Until then, the Sept. 6 update is useful because it moves one case forward: support has allegedly identified the payment-provider layer as the source of the delay.
It does not prove a Quotex-wide withdrawal problem.
What happens next matters more. If the money arrives shortly after the provider fixes the issue, this becomes an ordinary payment-processing delay. If more Orange Cash withdrawals begin getting stuck, the explanation starts to look like evidence of something broader.
For now, it is a payment problem worth watching, not an outage worth declaring.
