Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why can’t I see the "Withdraw USD" option?
The cash withdrawal feature is only available to users located in specific U.S. states due to regulatory requirements. If you’re unable to access this function, verify your region’s eligibility within your account settings.
Can I withdraw if my bank verification fails?
No. Successful verification via Plaid is mandatory before any withdrawal can be initiated. If verification fails, double-check your login credentials or try an alternative verification method offered by Plaid.
How do I check my withdrawal history?
You can view all past transactions under:
- Web: Assets → Withdraw → All Withdrawals
- App: Portfolio → Withdraw → Withdrawal History
This section provides timestamps, amounts, statuses, and tracking details.
When will I know my money has been sent?
OKX sends an automated email notification once the funds are debited from your account and dispatched via ACH. This confirms that the transfer is en route to your bank.
How long does it take to receive the money?
After dispatch, standard delivery time is 3–5 business days, though some banks may process transfers faster or slower depending on internal systems.
Why can’t I withdraw all of my available balance?
Some deposited funds may be temporarily restricted during a security review period. This applies especially to recent ACH deposits, which require validation before becoming eligible for withdrawal.
How do I check my current withdrawal limits?
Tap the information (i) icon next to the withdrawal amount field:
- On web: Located on the withdrawal confirmation screen
- In-app: Appears during the preview stage
This displays your remaining daily and monthly withdrawal quotas.
