A Comprehensive Guide to Withdrawing Money from Webull
Withdrawing money from your Webull account is typically a straightforward process once you have a linked bank account. However, depending on your region and the type of withdrawal, there can be slight variations and important details to keep in mind.
Step 1: Ensure Your Account is Ready for Withdrawal
Before you initiate any withdrawal, it's vital to confirm that your Webull account and the funds within it are in the proper state for transfer. This initial check can prevent delays and issues down the line.
1.1 Confirm Funds are Settled
It's a common misconception that once you sell a security, the funds are immediately available for withdrawal. In reality, there's a settlement period. This is the time it takes for a trade to officially clear and for the funds to be truly available in your cash balance.
-
US Markets (Equities & Options): Typically, the settlement period is T+1, meaning the funds become available one business day after the transaction date.
-
Other Markets (e.g., Hong Kong, Australia): These markets often have a settlement period of T+2, meaning funds are available two business days after the transaction.
Always check your "Available to Withdraw" balance in the Webull app to confirm the exact amount you can transfer. This balance reflects only the settled funds.
1.2 Verify Linked Bank Account Details
Webull only supports withdrawals to a valid bank account in your name. They generally do not support withdrawals to payment service providers (like Wise or Revolut) or e-wallets.
-
Your Name, Your Account: The bank account holder's name must exactly match the name on your Webull account. This is a crucial security measure to prevent fraud.
-
Multiple Linked Accounts: You can typically link up to 5 bank accounts to your Webull account. If you have more than one, you'll need to select the specific account where you wish to receive the funds during the withdrawal process.
-
Linking a New Account: If you haven't linked a bank account yet, or need to link a new one, you'll need to provide details like your full name, bank name, account number, and potentially other details like IFSC code (for India) or SWIFT/BIC code (for international transfers). You might also need to upload evidence such as a bank statement dated within the past six months, showing your name and bank logo. Requests to link or unlink bank accounts can take up to 24 hours to approve.
1.3 Check for Any Holds or Restrictions
Occasionally, there might be reasons why your funds are temporarily unavailable for withdrawal, such as:
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
-
Recent Deposits: If you've just deposited funds, Webull might have a holding period before you can withdraw them, especially if the deposit was via certain methods.
-
Account Reviews: In rare cases, your account might be under review, which could temporarily restrict withdrawals. If this is the case, Webull will usually notify you.
Step 2: Initiating the Withdrawal Request
Once you've ensured your account is ready, the actual process of initiating a withdrawal is quite straightforward within the Webull app.
2.1 Navigate to the Transfer Section
-
Open the Webull app on your mobile device.
-
Tap the Webull logo (usually located at the bottom of the screen). This will typically take you to your main account page or a menu.
-
Look for and tap "Transfers" at the top of the screen.
2.2 Select "Withdraw" and Your Currency
-
Within the "Transfers" section, tap on "Withdraw."
-
You will then be prompted to select your Withdrawal Currency. Ensure this matches the currency of the funds you wish to withdraw (e.g., USD if you sold US shares, INR if you have an INR balance). If you have USD from selling US shares and wish to withdraw in INR, you might need to perform a currency conversion within the app first.
2.3 Choose Your Linked Bank Account
-
If you have multiple bank accounts linked, a list will appear. Select the specific bank account where you want your funds to be transferred.
-
If you haven't linked an account, or need to link a new one, you'll be guided to the "Add Bank Account" process here.
2.4 Input the Withdrawal Amount
-
Enter the exact amount you wish to withdraw.
-
Be mindful of any minimum withdrawal amounts. For example, TT (Telegraphic Transfer/Wire Transfer) withdrawals may have minimums like USD 50, SGD 50, or HKD 300, depending on the region of your Webull entity.
2.5 Submit and Confirm Your Request
-
After entering the amount and selecting your bank account, tap "Submit Withdrawal Request."
-
You will likely be prompted to "Confirm" the details of your withdrawal. Double-check all information before confirming, especially the bank account number and the withdrawal amount.
Step 3: Understanding Withdrawal Processing Times and Fees
Once your withdrawal request is submitted, it enters the processing phase. The time it takes for funds to reach your bank account can vary, and it's essential to be aware of any associated fees.
3.1 Withdrawal Processing Times
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
The time it takes for your funds to reflect in your bank account can depend on the type of transfer and your bank's processing times.
-
Real-Time Payment (RTP) Withdrawal: In some regions, Webull supports RTP, where you can expect to receive your funds within 30 minutes. However, be aware that for first-time RTP withdrawals or requests made after 3 PM, weekends, or public holidays, the transaction might be completed by 9 AM on the next business day.
-
Interbank GIRO (IBG) Withdrawal: Webull typically processes these requests within 3-5 hours. The actual receipt of funds depends on the processing times of both the receiving and remitting banks. Similar to RTP, requests submitted after 3 PM on business days, or first-time requests on weekends/holidays, will be processed on the next business day.
-
Wire Transfers (International): For international wire transfers, the process generally takes 1 to 5 business days to complete. The exact settlement time can vary significantly between banks and depending on intermediary banks involved.
It's important to note that these are typical processing times, and unforeseen circumstances or bank-specific delays can occur.
3.2 Withdrawal Fees
While Webull often advertises commission-free trading, withdrawal fees can apply, especially for international transfers.
 |
-
Webull's Stance: Webull states that "Any transfer fees incurred, including but not limited to, handling commissions, cable charges and agent bank charges, relating to the deposit, shall be borne by the Client." This means that while Webull itself might not charge a direct withdrawal fee, your bank, or any intermediary banks, might impose charges for receiving an international wire transfer.
-
International Wire Transfer Fees: These can range from a few dollars to a significant amount, depending on the banks involved. It's advisable to check with your receiving bank about their inbound wire transfer fees to avoid surprises.
-
No Inactivity, Deposit, or Standard Withdrawal Fees: Webull generally does not charge fees for inactivity, deposits, or standard withdrawals. However, it's always good practice to review their latest fee schedule or FAQ for the most up-to-date information.
Step 4: Monitoring Your Withdrawal and Troubleshooting
After submitting your request, it's wise to monitor its status and know what to do if you encounter any issues.
4.1 Tracking Your Withdrawal
-
You can usually track the status of your withdrawal request within the Webull app, often in the same "Transfers" or "Withdrawal History" section.
-
Keep an eye on your linked bank account. You'll see the funds appear once the transfer is complete.
4.2 Common Withdrawal Issues and Solutions
-
"My account has a cash balance, but I cannot withdraw."
-
Solution: Ensure the currency you're trying to withdraw matches your cash balance. If you sold US shares, the settlement will be in USD. You might need to convert USD to your local currency within the app before withdrawing. Also, confirm the funds have settled (T+1 or T+2 as discussed). If you have activated a Cash Management feature, ensure you redeem the cash from it first.
-
-
"Why can't I withdraw my funds from my closed positions?"
-
Solution: This is almost always due to the settlement period. Your trades are pending settlement, and the funds will only be available on the settlement date, typically 1 to 2 business days from the transaction date.
-
-
Incorrect Bank Details: If you provided incorrect bank account details, the transfer will likely be rejected and the funds returned to your Webull account, incurring delays and potentially additional bank charges.
-
Solution: Contact Webull customer support immediately if you realize you've made an error.
-
-
Withdrawal Taking Too Long: While times vary, if your withdrawal significantly exceeds the estimated processing time without appearing in your bank account:
-
Solution: First, check your bank statement thoroughly. Sometimes the funds might appear with a slightly different description. Next, contact Webull's customer support through their in-app help center or official channels. Provide them with your withdrawal request details (date, amount, transaction ID if available). They can track the transfer internally. If Webull confirms the transfer was sent, you may need to contact your bank with the transfer details provided by Webull.
-

To ensure a smooth experience with Webull, it's always good to be proactive.
