| How To Withdraw Money From Webull Singapore |
Step 1: Pre-Withdrawal Checklist - Are You Ready?
Before you even think about tapping that "Withdraw" button, let's make sure everything is in order. This step is crucial to avoid any delays or complications later on!
1.1 Verify Your Linked Bank Account
QuickTip: Skim first, then reread for depth.
Crucial first step! Webull Singapore only supports withdrawals to a valid bank account registered in your individual name. They do not support withdrawals to payment service providers (like Wise or Revolut) or e-wallets.
Ensure your bank account details are saved and correct within your Webull app. If you haven't linked one yet, or need to change it, you'll need to do that first. Webull allows you to link up to 5 bank accounts.
Have you recently changed your bank account details or password with your bank? If so, your linked ACH/transfer link might have expired. You might need to relink your bank account.
1.2 Understand Available Funds and Settlement Times
Not all money is immediately withdrawable. If you've recently sold stocks or other assets, the funds need to "settle" first. This typically takes 1 to 2 business days from the transaction date.
Check your "available to withdraw" balance in the Webull app to see the exact amount you can take out.
For first-time withdrawals or recent deposits: Be aware that there might be a holding period. For example, funds from a recent deposit might only be available for withdrawal on the fifth business day after your deposit.
1.3 Be Aware of Withdrawal Fees (and how to avoid some!)
SGD Withdrawals within Singapore: Great news! Webull does not charge any withdrawal fees for Singapore Dollar (SGD) withdrawals to receiving banks within Singapore.
USD and HKD Withdrawals: For withdrawals in USD and HKD, there will be a handling fee of SGD20 charged by the remitting bank. This amount will be automatically deducted from your withdrawal.
Plan your withdrawals strategically to minimize fees, especially if you're withdrawing in USD or HKD frequently.
1.4 Minimum Withdrawal Amounts
Webull has minimum withdrawal amounts for certain currencies via Telegraphic Transfer (TT). For instance, the minimum withdrawal for USD is $50, SGD is $50, and HKD is $300.
Always double-check the current minimums in the app before initiating a withdrawal.
Step 2: Initiating Your Withdrawal Request via the Webull App
Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.
The Webull mobile app is your primary portal for managing your investments, including withdrawals. The process is designed to be intuitive.
2.1 Navigate to the "Transfers" Section
Open the Webull app on your smartphone.
Tap the Webull logo (usually located at the bottom center of the screen). This will take you to your account overview.
At the top of the screen, tap on "Transfers."
2.2 Select "Withdraw" and Your Currency
Within the "Transfers" section, you'll see options for "Deposit" and "Withdraw." Tap on "Withdraw."
You will then be prompted to select your Withdrawal Currency. Choose the currency you wish to withdraw (e.g., SGD, USD, HKD).
2.3 Choose Your Bank Account and Input the Amount
If you have multiple bank accounts linked, you'll need to select the specific bank account where you wish to receive the funds. Make sure it's the correct one!
Input the withdrawal amount you wish to transfer. Remember to consider any minimum withdrawal amounts and potential fees if you're withdrawing USD or HKD.
Tip: The app will usually show you your "Available to Withdraw" balance, so you know exactly how much you can take out.
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.
2.4 Review and Submit Your Request
Carefully review all the details of your withdrawal request: the amount, the currency, and the receiving bank account. Accuracy here is key to avoiding issues.
Once you're satisfied, tap "Submit Withdrawal Request."
You'll likely be asked to "Confirm" the transaction. Do so to finalize your request.
Step 3: Understanding Withdrawal Processing & Receipt of Funds
Once you've submitted your request, the waiting game begins. Here's what to expect regarding processing times.
3.1 Processing Timeframes
Real Time Payment (RTP) withdrawals (for SGD): If your bank supports RTP, you might receive your funds within 30 minutes. However, the actual timing is subject to the processing times of your specific bank.
Important Note for First-Time RTP: If your first-time RTP withdrawal request is made after 3 PM, or on weekends and public holidays, the transaction will typically be completed by 9 AM on the next business day.
Interbank GIRO (IBG) withdrawals: Webull usually processes IBG requests within 3-5 hours. The receipt of funds, however, depends on the processing times of both the sending (Webull's) and receiving banks.
Important Note for IBG: Any requests submitted after 3 PM on business days, or first-time IBG requests on weekends/public holidays, will be processed on the next business day.
Telegraphic Transfer (TT) withdrawals (for USD/HKD): These generally take 1 to 5 business days to complete. The exact settlement time may vary between banks.
3.2 Tracking Your Withdrawal
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
You can monitor the status and estimated settlement date of your withdrawal directly in the Webull mobile app.
Go to "Transfers" and then select "Recent Activity." This section provides real-time updates on your transaction's progress.
Step 4: Troubleshooting Common Withdrawal Issues
Sometimes, things don't go as planned. Here are some common reasons why a withdrawal might fail and what you can do.
4.1 Why Your Withdrawal Might Be Rejected
Insufficient Funds: Double-check that you have enough funds available for withdrawal in your Webull account, accounting for any unsettled trades.
Daily/Transaction Limits: While Webull Singapore doesn't widely publicize daily withdrawal limits for all methods, if you're attempting a very large withdrawal, there might be internal limits.
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), additional verification might be required. Webull strictly requires withdrawals to be made to your own individual or joint bank account in your name. They do not allow withdrawals to third-party accounts or payment platforms.
Invalid Bank Details: Ensure the bank name, account number, and any SWIFT/BIC codes you provided are absolutely correct. Even a small typo can cause a rejection.
Expired Bank Link: As mentioned earlier, if you've recently changed key information with your bank (like an account password or registered email), your current bank link may have expired. You'll need to relink it.
Recent ACAT Activity: If you've recently transferred assets to Webull via ACATS (Automated Customer Account Transfer Service), those assets might be subject to a withdrawal hold period of up to 30 days.
Pending Settlement: Funds from recently sold positions are not immediately available. They need to settle first (typically 1-2 business days).
4.2 What to Do if Your Withdrawal Fails
Review Error Messages: The Webull app will usually provide a reason for a failed withdrawal. Read it carefully.
Check Your Linked Bank Account: Verify all details are correct and up-to-date.
Confirm Available Funds: Ensure you have enough settled funds.
Contact Webull Customer Service: If you can't determine the issue, or if the problem persists, don't hesitate to reach out to Webull's customer support. You can usually find their contact information in the "Help Center & FAQ" section of the app. Providing a screenshot of any error messages can be very helpful.
