Which Kraken interface am I on?

Withdrawal hold

Certain deposits, such as first time ACH purchases, debit or credit card purchases or digital wallet purchases will trigger a temporary (72 hour) withdrawal hold on the account, for security purposes. For enhanced security, debit and credit card purchases using USD may experience the 72 hour lock discussed above on all purchases, not just your first purchase.

Withdrawal instructions:

1
Sign in to your Kraken account and navigate to the Funding tab.
2
Click Withdraw and use the Search bar to find your preferred currency.

Select a Funding Provider from the drop-down menu. If you are only shown one option, you can skip this step and continue with step 4.

Add a new bank account.
- Click on Continue.
- Fill in your bank account details (all fields are mandatory) and click on Add bank account.

For some funding providers, the name field will automatically populate when adding a bank account. If any changes to the name are required please submit a support request here. - Please refer to our frequently asked questions for more information about the different requirements.

To help your withdrawal go smoothly:
