Important withdrawal information
As of January 20, 2020, all first-time fiat deposits will result in a temporary (72 hour) withdrawal lock on the account.
All withdrawal options involve some form of bank or wire transfer. We cannot send withdrawals in cash, credit or debit cards, or to third-party payments processors.
For worldwide* options, some geographic restrictions may apply. SWIFT is the most common form of international wire transfers.
Processing times are estimates only and are outside of Kraken's control. Delays are possible. Please be mindful of banking holidays. If your wire transfer transaction does not arrive within the estimated time frame below, click here for the steps to take.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Kraken charge withdrawal fees?
The payments partners that we work with charge us fees for withdrawals in fiat currencies we support.
Are there any other fees?
Intermediary or correspondent banks (banks between our bank and your bank that processes the transaction in transit) may sometimes charge fees or convert the transaction to a different currency en route.
What are the withdrawal limits?
Withdrawal limits depend on your verification level and in some cases, the funding method (i.e. 'Normal' US domestic wire and ACH transfers).
