What Banks Usually Need to Understand
Bank questions do not automatically mean trouble. They are part of compliance. Be ready to explain where funds came from, where trades occurred, and how costs and proceeds were calculated.
Records to Prepare Before Withdrawal
- Taiwan's VASP AML registration and regulatory direction emphasize AML controls and fund flows.
- The Ministry of Finance has public explanations on virtual asset gains, making records important.
- Exchange deposits, bank transfers, and on-chain TxIDs should be reconcilable.
How to Document Source of Funds
- Export exchange trade, deposit, and withdrawal records before cashing out.
- Prepare the original source of funds, such as salary, investment principal, or earlier purchase records.
- Organize sell trade records, fees, and final TWD credit amount.
- For overseas exchanges, include on-chain transfers and platform exports.
- Answer consistently and avoid vague explanations.
Common Mistakes
- Saving bank credit records but not sell trade records.
- Moving funds across platforms without a reconciliation sheet.
- Discovering too late that an exchange only exports recent history.
