Frequently Asked Questions

Why are there withdrawal fees?
The payments providers that we work with charge us fees for withdrawals.
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.
Why is there a withdrawal hold on my account?
First-time instant purchase

Certain instant purchases, such as , Paypal, debit or credit card or digital wallet purchases, will trigger a withdrawal hold for up to 72 hours. The amount of the withdrawal hold is equivalent to the amount of the purchase, not your total account balance. Withdrawal holds may also be triggered by deposits from certain banks as well as security reasons. Additional cash purchases made during this 72-hour hold will also be locked for the remainder of the 72 hours.Trading is unaffected, you will still be able to trade throughout the period of the withdrawal hold.
Card purchases using Paypal deposits
For enhanced security, Paypal deposits, may experience a 72 hour withdrawal hold on every purchase, not just your first purchase.
Recent password change
If you make any changes to your password, withdrawals to new withdrawal addresses will be held for up to 24 hours, for security purposes. Any withdrawals to updated withdrawal addresses, within 24 hours of a password reset, will also be held. Addresses that you already added to your account won’t be affected.
