Why can’t I withdraw my funds?
Depending on how your deposit was done, you might have to wait to withdraw your funds. There are two main reasons for this:
- Settlement period - When you deposit funds from a bank account via ACH, they must fully process (i.e., settle) before they can be withdrawn. This can take up to 5 days.
- 65 day cooling off period - If your bank account was not linked via Plaid or lost its Plaid connection, a 65-day withdrawal restriction may apply. This restriction only affects withdrawals to other destinations. You can still withdraw to the originating bank account after the funds have settled.
