Ready to take control of your investments and move your funds from Webull to your bank account? It's a straightforward process, but knowing the exact steps will ensure a smooth and timely transfer. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know, from preparing your account to confirming your withdrawal.
Understanding Webull Withdrawals: Key Considerations
Before we dive into the step-by-step guide, let's understand a few important points about withdrawing funds from Webull:
ACH Transfers: The primary method for transferring funds from Webull to your bank account is through an Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfer. This is a common electronic network for financial transactions in the US.
Linked Bank Account: You can only withdraw funds to a bank account that is linked to your Webull account and in your name (or a joint account with the same account holders). Webull does not allow withdrawals to third-party accounts.
Settlement Times: Funds from recently sold securities or deposited funds typically need to "settle" before they can be withdrawn. ACH deposits can take up to 4 business days to settle, and funds from a deposit may require 6 business days to become eligible for withdrawal.
Fees: Webull generally offers commission-free trading, and basic ACH withdrawals are also typically free. However, wire transfers (if available and chosen) may incur fees.
Withdrawal Limits: While there isn't a widely published daily maximum for ACH withdrawals, large withdrawals might be subject to additional review by Webull for security purposes.

Your Step-by-Step Guide to Transferring Money from Webull to Your Bank
Let's get started on getting your funds where they need to be!
Step 1: Log In and Navigate to the Transfers Section
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
Alright, let's begin! Open the Webull app on your mobile device or navigate to the Webull website on your desktop.
Mobile App: Once logged in, look for the Webull logo (it's usually in the bottom center of the screen, a red 'W' or bull icon). Tap on it to access your account dashboard.
Desktop/Web Platform: On the desktop version, your account details are usually accessible from the top right corner or a clear "Account" or "Profile" section.
Once you're in your account section, you'll need to find the "Transfers" or "Deposit/Withdrawal" option. It's often clearly labeled.
Step 2: Initiate a Withdrawal Request
Within the "Transfers" section, you'll typically see options for both "Deposit" and "Withdraw."
Select "Withdraw" (or "Transfer Money" and then switch the direction to withdraw).
Choose your withdrawal currency. For most users, this will be USD.
Step 3: Select Your Linked Bank Account
This is where your pre-linked bank account comes into play.
QuickTip: Use CTRL + F to search for keywords quickly.
If you already have a bank account linked for withdrawals, it should appear as an option. Select the bank account you wish to transfer the funds to.
What if I haven't linked a bank account yet? No problem! You'll typically see an option to "Add Bank Account." This will involve providing your bank's routing number and your account number. You may also need to upload a copy of a bank statement (dated within the last 6 months, showing your full name, BSB, A/C Number, and bank logo) to verify ownership. Remember, the bank account must be in your name. This linking process can take up to 24 hours for approval.
Step 4: Enter the Withdrawal Amount
Now, specify how much money you want to transfer.
Input the desired withdrawal amount. Make sure you have sufficient settled funds available in your Webull account to cover the withdrawal. If you've recently sold stocks, those funds might still be pending settlement.
Webull will usually display your available withdrawal balance to help guide you.
Step 5: Review and Confirm Your Request
Before hitting that final "Submit" button, carefully review all the details of your withdrawal request.
Double-check the withdrawal amount.
Confirm the correct bank account is selected.
Look for any displayed estimated processing times or potential fees (though typically ACH withdrawals are free).
Once you're satisfied, tap "Submit Withdrawal Request" (or similar wording). You may be prompted to enter your trading password or use biometric authentication (Face ID/fingerprint) for security.
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
Step 6: Track Your Withdrawal
After submission, your withdrawal request will be processed by Webull.
You can usually track the status of your withdrawal within the "Transfers" or "Withdrawal History" section of your Webull account.
Webull states that ACH withdrawals typically take 1 to 3 business days to complete once submitted. However, the exact time it takes for the funds to reflect in your bank account can vary slightly depending on your bank's processing times.
Important Notes and Troubleshooting Tips
Settled Funds are Key: This cannot be stressed enough. If you attempt to withdraw funds that are not yet settled (e.g., from a recent stock sale or a new deposit), your withdrawal request will likely be delayed or rejected.
Linked Account Name Match: Ensure the name on your Webull account exactly matches the name on the bank account you are withdrawing to. Any discrepancies can lead to delays or rejections.
Business Days: Remember that "business days" exclude weekends and public holidays. A withdrawal initiated on a Friday afternoon might not start processing until the following Monday.
Insufficient Funds: If your bank account has insufficient funds to cover a deposit reversal (e.g., a deposit was returned by your bank), Webull may charge a $5 fee and it could negatively affect your credit standing with them.
Contact Support: If your withdrawal is taking longer than expected (beyond 3-5 business days) or you encounter any issues, don't hesitate to contact Webull's customer support. They can investigate the status of your transaction. You can usually find their contact information (phone number, email, or in-app chat) in the "Help" or "Support" section of the app or website.
