Overview
What happens between your request and your money arriving
Every withdrawal moves through the same sequence. Most of the timeline is made up of two separate stages: the checks and approval carried out by ark-bridge, and the payment processing carried out afterwards by the blockchain network or bank involved.
Request submitted
You submit a withdrawal from the withdrawal section of your account.
Review and verification
Identity, account ownership and payment checks are completed.
Approved
Once the checks are complete, the request is approved for payment.
Sent for processing
The payment is passed to your chosen method for processing.
Funds received
Funds arrive once the network or your bank has settled the payment.
ark-bridge reviews withdrawal requests within 48 business hours for compliance and AML checks. The time your payment provider takes after approval is additional to that, and is set by them rather than by ark-bridge.
By payment method
Withdrawal times by payment method

Factors
What can affect withdrawal time
Not every factor applies to every request. The points below reflect the checks and conditions ark-bridge already documents as part of its withdrawal and client-protection procedures.
Stage by stage
What happens after you request a withdrawal
Each stage below has to complete before the next one starts, which is why the total time is made up of more than one figure.
Support
When to contact support about a withdrawal
If the 48-business-hour review window has passed and your request has not been approved, or the payment has been approved but has not reached you within the timeframe your provider applies, our support team can look into it.
