USG Deposit & Withdrawal

When we set out to review USG (United Strategic International LLC), we expected to find a clear picture of how traders move money in and out. Instead, our research hit a wall: the broker's official records list no deposit methods, no withdrawal methods, and no processing times. For a firm that has been operating since February 2022, that silence is itself a finding.

In FXCanary's assessment, a broker that does not disclose its funding channels is a broker that is not ready for scrutiny. We can tell you what the account tiers require — minimum deposits ranging from $100 on the Mini account to $50,000 on the Pro-ECN and VIP accounts — but we cannot tell you how to fund those accounts. That gap is exactly the kind of thing a cautious trader should weigh before sending any money.

The only concrete funding information we have comes from the account structure. USG offers four account types, each with its own minimum deposit and leverage. The Mini account starts at $100 with leverage up to 1:500, which is the entry point for most retail traders. The Standard account requires $10,000, while the Pro-ECN and VIP accounts both demand a substantial $50,000 minimum.

These figures are notable for two reasons. First, the $50,000 minimums are far above what most brokers require for a standard account, suggesting USG is targeting high-net-worth individuals or institutional clients. Second, the $100 Mini account is a classic hook for smaller retail traders — but with no disclosed deposit methods, even that low entry point carries uncertainty. We cross-checked these numbers against the public register and found no additional funding details.

Our records show that USG's deposit methods are marked as '--', meaning no information is available. We searched for wire transfer, credit card, and e-wallet options, but found nothing verifiable. This is unusual for a broker that claims to offer live trading through MT4 and MT5, as those platforms require a funding mechanism to be useful.

We also looked for any mention of deposit fees or processing times, but again, the records are empty. In the absence of official disclosure, we cannot confirm whether USG supports bank transfers, cards, or digital wallets. For a trader, this means you would be sending money into a black box — you would not know the method, the cost, or the timeline until you try.

Withdrawals are where a broker's reliability truly shows, and here USG is equally opaque. No withdrawal methods are listed, no processing times are given, and no fees are disclosed. For a broker with a Scam Risk Score of 85/100 and a 'Fake Broker' flag in industry watchdog records, this silence is a major red flag.

We want to be clear: we are not alleging that USG has refused to pay anyone, because we have no evidence of that. But the absence of any withdrawal information means we cannot verify that withdrawals work at all. In our experience, brokers that are legitimate usually publish their withdrawal policies prominently. USG does not, and that is a warning sign in itself.

USG is registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, an offshore jurisdiction known for light oversight. The broker also claims an FCA licence (number 798776) for a 'Forex Execution License (STP)' in the United Kingdom. However, we could not verify this licence against the public register, and the company's own description admits it is 'still risky due to its suspicious clone status.'

For funding, this regulatory ambiguity is critical. A broker with a valid FCA licence would be subject to strict client-money rules, which protect your deposits if the firm fails. Without verified regulation, your funds may not have that protection. We advise traders to check the FCA register directly before depositing, and to treat any claim of regulation with caution until it is independently confirmed.

Given the lack of verifiable information, we recommend a conservative approach if you are still considering USG. First, start with the minimum deposit on the Mini account — $100 is a small enough amount to test the waters without risking significant capital. Second, make a withdrawal request early, ideally within the first week, to see if the process works and how long it takes. A broker that cannot process a small withdrawal is unlikely to handle a large one.

Third, keep detailed records of every transaction, including screenshots of deposit confirmations and withdrawal requests. If something goes wrong, you will need evidence to support any complaint. Finally, consider using a separate funding method, such as a credit card, which may offer chargeback protection — but only if USG actually accepts cards, which we cannot confirm.

We must be honest about the limits of our research. We could not find any independent user reviews of USG, which means there is no track record of real traders' experiences with deposits or withdrawals. We also could not verify the broker's website, usgfx.global, as it appears to be inaccessible, and we found no social-media presence. This lack of a digital footprint is unusual for a broker claiming to operate globally.

We also note that USG is listed as a 'Fake Broker' in industry watchdog records, and that no clone sites have been found — but that does not reduce the risk. The absence of evidence about funding is not evidence of safety; it is simply an absence, and in the world of forex, absence of information is often a bad sign.

In FXCanary's assessment, USG presents a high-risk profile for any trader, and the funding situation is a key part of that risk. With no disclosed deposit or withdrawal methods, no verifiable regulation, and a severe scam-risk score, we cannot recommend this broker for funding at this time. The $100 Mini account may be tempting, but the lack of transparency means you could be sending money into a void.

If you do decide to proceed, treat it as a high-risk experiment, not an investment. Use only funds you can afford to lose, start with the smallest amount possible, and test withdrawals immediately. And above all, verify any regulatory claims independently before you send a single dollar. We will continue to monitor USG and update our review if new information emerges.
