How to withdraw funds from your Kraken account

This article is for clients using the Kraken interface (kraken.com)

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. 1
    Sign in to your Kraken account and click the Withdraw button. You can also navigate to the Withdraw page by clicking on Transfer on the left hand side of your home page.

    • Description: can be whatever you like so you can easily remember this bank account. This description must be unique, not used on any other withdrawal method in your Kraken account.
    • Name on account: is the bank account holder name, which must match the verified name or entity on this Kraken 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.

    Request a withdrawal
    • Once you have added your bank account, scroll to the bottom of the page, and select the bank account from the drop-down menu.
    • Enter the amount you wish to withdraw and click on Review Withdrawal.
    • Do not use punctuations or currency symbols (use 1000 instead of €1,000).
    • Check that the details are correct and click Withdraw to confirm the withdrawal.

To help your withdrawal go smoothly:

  • Ensure that you are not withdrawing to a third-party payments processor, e.g. a  company that provides payment-processing services to merchants and other business entities. 
  • Check that your bank or financial institution meets the requirements of your selected Funding Provider.
  • Only use a bank account under your control, where the name matches the verified name or entity on your Kraken account.
