Verification requirements
We typically return money via the same method used to make the original deposit. Before processing your withdrawal, we may ask you to verify your source of funds.
Share Settlement period
If you have sold shares recently, your funds will be in a settlement period before becoming available to withdraw:
Share Type | Settlement Period | When Will Funds Become Available |
US Shares | T+1 | One business day after selling your shares |
All Other Shares | T+2 | Two business days after selling your shares |
For more information, please see when funds are available to withdraw after selling shares.
Other reasons that cause delay
Actual receipt of funds depends on your bank's processing systems and may vary.
Bank holidays and weekends are not considered as working days.
For international transfers, intermediary banks may cause additional delays.
