| How To Pull Money From Webull |
Step 1: Verify Your Account and Funds
Before you even think about hitting that withdrawal button, there are a couple of crucial things you need to confirm. This initial check will prevent common issues and ensure a smoother process.
Sub-heading: Ensuring Your Bank Account is Linked and Verified
Webull, like most brokerage platforms, only allows withdrawals to a linked and verified bank account in your name. This is a critical security measure to protect your funds. If you haven't linked your bank account yet, or if it's an old one that needs updating, this is your first stop.
-
Check Existing Link:
-
Open the Webull app (or log in on desktop/web).
-
Navigate to your Account section.
-
Look for "Transfers" or "Banking."
-
You should see your currently linked bank account. Verify that the details are correct and up-to-date.
-
-
Linking a New Account (if necessary):
-
If you need to link a new account, or if your current one is outdated, you'll typically find an option to "Add Bank Account" within the "Transfers" or "Withdraw" section.
-
You'll need to provide your bank's routing number (ABA code) and your account number.
-
Webull may require additional verification, such as micro-deposits (small amounts deposited and then withdrawn from your bank account that you'll need to confirm) or uploading proof of ownership (like a bank statement). Be patient with this step, as it can sometimes take up to 24 hours for the linking request to be approved.
-
Sub-heading: Confirming Funds Available for Withdrawal (Settled Funds)
This is a frequently overlooked step that often leads to withdrawal issues. When you sell stocks or other assets on Webull, the funds do not become immediately available for withdrawal. They need to "settle."
-
Understanding Settlement: Stock and ETF trades typically settle in T+2 business days. This means if you sell something on Monday, the funds will usually be settled and available for withdrawal on Wednesday. Options and crypto might have different settlement periods.
-
Checking Available Funds:
-
On the Webull app, tap the Webull logo (bottom center) to select your account.
-
Go to Transfers -> Withdraw.
-
You will see a clear indication of your "Available to Withdraw" balance. Only this amount can be pulled out.
-
If you just sold something and the funds aren't showing, it's likely they are still pending settlement.
-
Step 2: Initiating the Withdrawal Request
Once your bank account is linked and verified, and you've confirmed your available funds, you're ready to initiate the withdrawal! The process is slightly different depending on whether you're using the mobile app, desktop platform, or web version.
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
Sub-heading: On the Webull Mobile App
The mobile app is by far the most common way to manage your Webull account.
-
Open the Webull App: Log in to your account.
-
Access Account Section: Tap the Webull logo located at the bottom center of your screen. This will take you to your main account dashboard.
-
Navigate to Transfers: Select "Transfers" at the top of the screen.

-
Enter Withdrawal Amount: Carefully input the amount you wish to withdraw. Make sure it does not exceed your "Available to Withdraw" balance.
-
Review and Submit: Tap "Review and Submit" (or "Next" and then "Confirm"). You may be prompted to enter your trading password or use biometric authentication (Face ID/Fingerprint) to confirm the request.
Sub-heading: On the Webull Desktop Platform
If you prefer to manage your investments on a larger screen, the desktop platform is equally intuitive.
-
Open Webull Desktop: Launch the Webull desktop application.
-
Go to Account: Hover over the icons on the left sidebar and click on "Account" (if it's hidden, you might need to click "More" first).
-
Find Banking Widget: Within the Banking widget, select "Withdraw." This will direct you to the Transfer Money page on the web browser.
-
Choose Funding Account: In the "To" field, select your linked bank account.
-
Enter Withdrawal Amount: Input the desired withdrawal amount.
-
Review and Submit: Click "Review" and then "Submit" after confirming all details.
Sub-heading: On the Webull Web Version
For those who prefer a browser-based experience, the web platform offers the same functionality.
-
Access Webull Website: Go to the official Webull website and log in to your account.
-
Navigate to My Account: Click on "My Account" in the top right corner.
-
Select Transfer Money: Choose "Transfer Money."
-
Switch Transfer Direction: Tap the switch button to change the transfer direction, ensuring that you are withdrawing funds from your Webull account.
-
Choose Funding Account: Select your bank account in the "To" field.
-
Enter Withdrawal Amount: Enter the amount you wish to withdraw.
-
Review and Submit: Click "Review" and then "Submit" once you've verified the details.
Step 3: Understanding Withdrawal Limits, Processing Times, and Potential Issues
You've submitted your request – great! Now, it's important to understand what to expect regarding processing times and any potential hurdles.
 |
Sub-heading: Withdrawal Limits and Cutoff Times
Webull has specific limits and cutoff times for ACH (Automated Clearing House) withdrawals, which is the standard method for transferring funds to your bank account.
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.
-
Daily Limit: The daily limit for ACH withdrawals is currently $50,000. If you need to withdraw more than this, you'll need to do it in multiple transactions over several days.
-
Daily Cutoff Time: The daily cutoff time for ACH withdrawals is generally 4:00 PM EST (Eastern Standard Time). Requests submitted after this time will be processed on the next business day.
Sub-heading: Expected Processing Times
While you might submit your request instantly, it takes time for the funds to move from Webull to your bank.
-
ACH Withdrawals: ACH withdrawals typically take 2-3 business days to process and appear in your bank account.
-
Factors Affecting Time: The exact settlement time can vary slightly between different banks.
-
Tracking Your Transfer: You can monitor the status and estimated settlement date of your withdrawal by going to Transfers -> Recent Activity on the Webull mobile app or similar sections on the desktop/web platforms. This section provides real-time updates.
Sub-heading: Common Reasons for Withdrawal Delays or Failures
Sometimes, a withdrawal might not go through as expected. Here are some common reasons and what you can do:
-
Insufficient Settled Funds: As mentioned in Step 1, ensure you only attempt to withdraw funds that have fully settled.
-
Daily Limit Exceeded: If your pending withdrawal amount has already reached the $50,000 daily limit, you'll need to wait for the current withdrawal to process (usually 1-2 business days) before attempting another.
-
Different Bank Accounts: If you're trying to withdraw funds to a bank account different from the one used for recent deposits (especially within the last 60 days), Webull may require additional verification.
-
Invalid Bank Information: Double-check that your linked bank account has the correct ABA code (routing number) and account number.
-
Expired ACH Link: If you've recently changed key information with your bank (like your password or email), your existing ACH link might have expired. You'll need to relink your bank account.
-
Recent ACAT Activity: If you recently transferred assets to Webull via ACATS, those assets might be subject to a withdrawal hold period of up to 30 days from the settlement date of the transfer.
-
Third-Party Accounts: Webull does not allow withdrawals to third-party bank accounts or third-party payment platforms (like PayPal). Withdrawals must go to an account in your name (individual or joint).
-
Account Restrictions: In some cases, unusual deposit behavior, new account activity, or an outdated ID on file can lead to temporary account restrictions that might affect withdrawals.
If you encounter a persistent issue, take a screenshot of any error messages and contact Webull's customer support for assistance.
Step 4: Confirming Your Withdrawal
Once the processing time has elapsed, the final step is to confirm that the funds have indeed arrived in your linked bank account.
-
Check Your Bank Statement: Log in to your online banking portal or check your bank statement. The withdrawn amount should appear as a deposit from Webull.
-
Webull Transaction History: You can also cross-reference this with your "Recent Activity" in Webull to ensure the transaction shows as "Completed."
Congratulations! You've successfully pulled money from your Webull account.
