Where’s my withdrawal?

A "Complete" status means we’ve already processed your withdrawal request. However, it may still take a few days for your withdrawal amount to appear in your bank account as the bank may need more time to process your request.

The time frame for transferring money from PayPal differs based on the type of transfer you selected.

The instant transfer typically takes a few minutes to complete (up to 30 minutes).

The Standard transfer typically completes in one business day. Sometimes, depending on your bank's clearing process, it may take 3-5 business days.

If the bank encounters a problem with your withdrawal request, they’ll notify us within one week from the time you requested your withdrawal. We'll email you if we receive any information from your bank. If the bank is unable to process your request due to incomplete or incorrect information in your withdrawal request, the money will be returned to your PayPal account (a return fee may apply in this case).

All transfers are subject to review and could be delayed or stopped if we identify an issue.
