Withdrawal hold
Certain deposits, such as first time ACH purchases, credit or debit card purchases or digital wallet purchases will trigger a temporary (72 hour) withdrawal hold on the account, for security purposes.
The below instructions show how to make a withdrawal via the Kraken.com site. If you are using the Kraken app then follow these instructions.
