Hey there, savvy investor! Ever wondered how to get your hard-earned cash out of Webull and back into your bank account? You're not alone! It's a common question, and while Webull makes investing incredibly straightforward, sometimes the withdrawal process can feel a little less intuitive. But fear not, by the end of this comprehensive guide, you'll be a Webull withdrawal pro!
Whether you've made some fantastic profits, need funds for an emergency, or are just rebalancing your portfolio, knowing how to withdraw cash effectively is a crucial skill. Let's dive in!
Navigating the Waters: How to Withdraw Cash from Webull
Withdrawing cash from your Webull account, especially a Cash Brokerage Account (often referred to as "BP" in some brokerage contexts, though Webull specifically refers to your cash balance or buying power), is a relatively simple process once you know where to look. The primary method for withdrawal is through ACH (Automated Clearing House) transfer, which moves funds directly to your linked bank account. For larger or international transfers, wire transfers might also be an option, but ACH is the most common and often fee-free.
Let's break it down step-by-step:

Step 1: Log In and Locate the Transfer Section
First things first, open your Webull app or log in to the desktop platform.
Mobile App: Look for the Webull icon (the bull logo) at the bottom center of your screen. Tap it. This will typically take you to your main account page or a hub for account actions.
Desktop Platform: Once logged in, look for "My Account" (often in the top right corner) or a similar navigation option that pertains to your account management.
Once you're on your account page, you're looking for the "Transfer" or "Transfer Money" option. This is your gateway to both depositing and withdrawing funds.
Step 2: Initiating the Withdrawal Request
Now that you're in the transfer section, it's time to tell Webull you want to take money out.
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.
Sub-heading: Switching the Transfer Direction
On the transfer screen, you'll likely see options for "Deposit" and "Withdraw." Make sure you select "Withdraw."
Sometimes, there's a switch button or an arrow icon to change the direction of the transfer from "To Webull" to "From Webull." Ensure the transfer direction is set to withdraw funds from your Webull account to your external bank account.
Sub-heading: Selecting Your Destination Account
In the "To:" field, you'll need to choose the funding account where you want your money to go. This will be your previously linked bank account. If you haven't linked one yet, you'll need to do that first (see FAQ below for quick steps on linking).
Important Note: Webull typically only allows withdrawals to bank accounts that are in the same name as your Webull brokerage account. They do not support withdrawals to third-party accounts or joint accounts unless your Webull account is also a joint account with the same holders.
Step 3: Specifying the Amount and Currency
This is where you tell Webull how much you want to withdraw.
Enter Withdrawal Amount: Carefully input the exact amount of cash you wish to withdraw.
Select Currency (if applicable): For most US-based users, this will be USD. However, if you have a multi-currency account or are located in regions where Webull supports other currencies (like HKD, RMB), you'll need to select the appropriate currency.
Keep an eye on your available cash balance. You can only withdraw funds that are settled and available in your cash balance. Funds from recent stock sales or deposits might have a holding period before they become eligible for withdrawal. Webull typically requires ACH deposits to settle for 6 business days before they can be withdrawn.
Step 4: Review and Confirm Your Request
Before hitting that final "Submit" button, it's critical to review all the details.
Double-check the amount.
Confirm the correct bank account is selected.
Review any potential fees. While Webull generally offers fee-free ACH withdrawals, wire transfers might incur charges.
Understand the estimated processing time. Webull will usually provide an estimate of when the funds are expected to arrive in your bank account.
Once you're satisfied that everything is correct, tap "Review and Submit" (or similar button) and then "Confirm" your withdrawal. You may be asked to enter your trading password or use biometric authentication for security.
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
Step 5: Tracking Your Withdrawal
After submitting your request, you'll receive a confirmation.
You can typically track the status of your withdrawal within the Webull app under the "Transfer History" or "Withdrawal History" section.
Be Patient! ACH transfers usually take 2-3 business days to process and appear in your bank account. Wire transfers can be faster for domestic transfers (1-2 business days) but may take up to 5 business days for international wires. Remember that weekends and public holidays will extend this timeline.

Important Considerations for Webull Withdrawals
Settlement Periods: As mentioned, funds from recent deposits or stock sales need to "settle" before they can be withdrawn. This is standard practice across brokerage firms. For ACH deposits, it's often around 6 business days before funds become eligible for withdrawal.
Withdrawal Limits: While Webull doesn't typically impose strict daily withdrawal limits for ACH beyond your available settled cash, larger amounts or frequent withdrawals might trigger security reviews.
Linked Bank Accounts: Ensure your linked bank account is active and correctly configured. If you need to change your linked bank account, there's a process for that within the Webull app (you might need to unlink the old one and add a new one, which can take up to 24 hours for approval).
Regulatory Fees/Charges: While Webull boasts commission-free trading, always be aware of potential regulatory fees or exchange fees that might apply to certain transactions, although these are typically not directly related to withdrawals themselves unless it's a wire transfer where the receiving bank might charge a fee.
Account Types: The withdrawal process is generally similar for cash accounts. For margin accounts, you can typically withdraw both cash balances and borrowed amounts backed by securities held on margin. However, understanding the specifics of your account type is always recommended.
Customer Support: If you encounter any issues or have questions that aren't answered here, don't hesitate to reach out to Webull's customer service. They can provide personalized assistance for your specific situation.
