How to Pull Money Out of Webull: Your Step-by-Step Guide

| How To Pull Money Out Of Webull |
Step 1: Ensure Your Account is Ready for Withdrawal – The Crucial Pre-Flight Check!
Before you even think about hitting that "withdraw" button, it's absolutely vital to make sure your Webull account is in tip-top shape for a smooth transfer. Missing any of these checks can lead to delays or even rejection of your withdrawal request!
1.1 Verify Your Linked Bank Account: The Foundation of Your Withdrawal
This is paramount. Webull requires you to withdraw funds to a bank account in your name. Third-party accounts or payment platforms are strictly prohibited. If you haven't linked a bank account yet, or if your linked account details have changed, you'll need to do so and ensure it's verified.
-
How to Verify (if needed):
-
Typically, Webull will verify your bank account during the initial linking process by sending small trial deposits (micro-deposits) that you then confirm in your Webull app.
-
If you've recently changed banking information (like your account password or registered email with your bank), your existing ACH link might have expired. In such cases, you'll need to relink your bank account.
-
1.2 Understand Fund Settlement Periods: Patience is a Virtue (and a Necessity!)
This is perhaps the most common reason for withdrawal issues. Money you deposit or gain from selling securities isn't immediately available for withdrawal. It needs to "settle" first.
-
ACH Deposits: Funds deposited via ACH typically take 2-4 business days to settle. However, for withdrawal purposes, Webull often has an additional holding period, sometimes up to 6 business days after the deposit has fully settled, before those funds become eligible for withdrawal. This is a common practice among brokerages to prevent fraud.
-
Proceeds from Sold Securities: When you sell stocks or ETFs, the proceeds need to settle. For most securities, this is a T+2 settlement period, meaning the transaction settles two business days after the trade date.
-
ACATS Transfers: If you transferred assets to Webull via an ACATS (Automated Customer Account Transfer Service) transfer from another brokerage, those assets might be subject to a withdrawal hold period of up to 30 days from the settlement date of the transfer.
Always check your "Available for Withdrawal" balance in the Webull app or web platform to see exactly how much cash you can currently withdraw.
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
1.3 Check for Withdrawal Limits: Know Your Boundaries
Webull has daily withdrawal limits, especially for ACH transfers.
-
The daily limit for ACH withdrawals is typically $50,000 USD.
-
There's also a daily cutoff time, often 4:00 PM EST. Requests submitted after this time will generally be processed on the next business day.
1.4 Resolve Any Account Restrictions or Issues: Clear the Path
Sometimes, unforeseen circumstances can place restrictions on your account, preventing withdrawals. These might include:
-
Insufficient Funds: The most basic reason! Double-check that your "Available for Withdrawal" balance is sufficient for the amount you intend to pull out.
-
Different Bank Accounts: If you're trying to withdraw to a bank account that's different from the one used for recent deposits (within the last 60 days), additional verification might be required.
-
Invalid Bank Details: Ensure the ABA code (routing number) and account number for your linked bank are correct.
-
Recent Account Activity: New account activity or first-time deposits might be subject to a standard holding period.
-
Expired ID or Verification Issues: Ensure all your identity documents on file with Webull are current and verified.
If you encounter a failed withdrawal and can't pinpoint the reason, take a screenshot of the rejection message and contact Webull support immediately through their Help Center.
Step 2: Initiating Your Withdrawal Request – Your Money, Your Command!
Once you've completed your pre-flight checks, it's time to make the magic happen! Webull offers withdrawal options through their mobile app, desktop platform, and web interface. The process is largely similar across all of them.
2.1 Via the Webull Mobile App (Most Common Method):
The mobile app is usually the quickest and most convenient way to initiate a withdrawal.
-
Open the Webull App: Launch the Webull application on your smartphone.
-
Tap the Webull Logo: Locate and tap the Webull logo at the bottom center of the screen. This will typically take you to your "Account" or "Assets" section.
-
Select "Transfers": At the top of the screen, you'll usually see an option like "Transfers" or "Transfer Money." Tap on it.
-
Choose "Withdraw": You'll see options for "Deposit" and "Withdraw." Tap on "Withdraw."
-
Switch Transfer Direction (if necessary): Sometimes, the default view is for depositing. Look for a "switch" or "direction" button (often an arrow icon) to ensure the "From:" field shows your Webull account and the "To:" field shows your external bank account.
-
Enter Withdrawal Amount: Carefully input the amount of money you wish to withdraw. Remember to stay within your "Available for Withdrawal" balance and the daily limits.
-
Review and Confirm: Webull will present you with a summary of your withdrawal request, including the amount, the receiving bank account, and estimated processing time. Review all details carefully to avoid errors.
-
Submit Your Request: Once you're satisfied, tap "Submit" or "Confirm." You might be asked to enter your trading password or use biometric authentication (Face ID/Fingerprint) to authorize the transaction.
2.2 Via the Webull Desktop Platform:
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
If you prefer using the desktop application, the steps are just as straightforward.
-
Launch Webull Desktop: Open the Webull desktop application on your computer.
-
Click "Account": On the left-hand side, hover over the icons and click on "Account" (you might need to click "More" if it's hidden).
-
Navigate to "Withdraw": Within the "Banking" widget or section, look for and select "Withdraw." This will often redirect you to the transfer money page on the web.
-
Choose Funding Account: In the "To" field, select your linked external bank account.
-
Enter Withdrawal Amount: Input the desired withdrawal amount.
-
Review and Submit: Review the details presented and then click "Submit" to finalize your request.
2.3 Via the Webull Web Platform:

For those who prefer a web browser, the process is equally simple.
-
Go to Webull Website: Open your web browser and navigate to the Webull website.
-
Log In: Log in to your Webull account.
-
Navigate to "My Account": Usually located in the top right corner, click on "My Account."
-
Select "Transfer Money": Find and click on "Transfer Money."
-
Switch Transfer Direction: Ensure the transfer direction is set from your Webull account to your external bank account.

Review and Submit: Review all the details and then click "Submit."
Step 3: Monitoring Your Withdrawal – Stay Informed!
Once you've submitted your request, the waiting game begins. But you don't have to wait blindly! Webull provides tools to track the status of your withdrawal.
-
Check Recent Activity:
-
Mobile App: Go to "Transfers" and then "Recent Activity."
-
Desktop/Web: Look for a similar "Recent Activity" or "Transfer History" section within the "Account" or "Transfers" areas.
-
-
Status Updates: You'll see the current status of your withdrawal request, which might progress through stages like "Pending," "Processing," and "Completed." You'll also typically see an estimated settlement date.
-
Email Notifications: Webull usually sends email notifications for successful withdrawal requests and when the funds have been disbursed.
Step 4: Receiving Your Funds – The Finish Line!
The final step is seeing the money appear in your bank account.
-
ACH Withdrawal Timelines: For ACH withdrawals, funds typically take 2-3 business days to process and appear in your bank account.
-
Bank Processing Times: Keep in mind that while Webull processes the request, your receiving bank also has its own processing times, which can add a day or two. Weekends and public holidays will naturally extend the processing time.
-
Real-Time Payments (RTP): In some regions or for certain banks, Webull may offer Real-Time Payment (RTP) withdrawals, where funds can be received within 30 minutes. However, this is not universally available and may have specific cutoff times for same-day processing. First-time RTP withdrawals or requests made after a certain time/on weekends might be processed on the next business day.
Congratulations! You've successfully pulled money out of your Webull account!
