Withdraw funds: OANDA Global Markets

What should I keep in mind before making a withdrawal request?

  1. As we may sometimes need to contact you about your withdrawals we encourage you to closely monitor your email inbox (including your junk folder).

  2. Whenever you request a withdrawal, you should bear in mind that a withdrawal could trigger a margin closeout if you no longer have sufficient funds on your account to maintain your open positions.

  3. Withdrawals are subject to hierarchy rules in order to protect both you and us from fraudulent payment instructions. If you have deposited using multiple methods, you must exhaust the total original deposit amounts in the following order:

    1. Credit/debit card

    2. Neteller

    3. Skrill

    4. Bank or wire transfer

  4. Any money standing to the credit of your landing account(s) (which excludes any bonuses or trading credits) will be transferred to you upon request, subject to you satisfying relevant margin requirements and documentation requests. Also, there must be no outstanding sum due from you.

  5. OANDA can process up to 100% of the original deposited amount back to the same source/account you used to fund your account. Any funds remaining in your account after you have withdrawn the full amount you originally deposited may be withdrawn only by bank or wire transfer. If you have sent funds to us from more than one bank account, we will, at our discretion, pay any amounts withdrawn from your landing account(s) to one of the bank accounts from which such funds were received.

  6. Where applicable we will return money to your credit/debit card in the form of card refunds. This means that your withdrawal request may be split into multiple payments in order to refund each of your individual deposit transactions.

  7. Withdrawal requests for more than US$9000 will be restricted if you have not provided the required documentation.

  8. When we request for photo, scan or screenshot of any document, the submission should meet our guidelines:

    1. We can accept PDF or JPEG formats only.

    2. No edited or altered documentation can be accepted

    3. Documents must be legible

    4. Downloaded documents are acceptable as long as the entire document (all 4 corners) is visible and provides all the required information

    5. We do not accept direct deposit forms, or other bank application forms

The total amount you can withdraw to your credit/debit card(s) cannot be more than the total amount you deposited from those cards.

When will I get my money?

One to three business days. We do our best to process your request as quickly as possible, but please consider the following may also impact processing times:

  • Withdrawals to credit/debit cards are only processed after all your credit/debit card deposits have cleared. This on average takes around 1 business days from the date of your deposit
  • Your debit/credit card provider may take additional time to complete your withdrawal.

Withdrawal fees

There are no fees for credit/debit cards.

If I have received a new credit/debit card from my bank, can I add the new card and withdraw money to it?

You can deposit using a new card by logging in to the OANDA portal.

However, due to credit/debit card withdrawal rules it is not possible to withdraw more money than the amount deposited from this new card back to it.

How do I withdraw my money if the credit/debit cards I have used are expired, replaced, lost or stolen, or the account is now closed?

Most banks do accept withdrawals to an expired card, given a replacement card was issued to you and the deposit was made within the last two years. Alternatively, you may contact us to disable the expired card profile and withdraw by a wire transfer.

If a card was last used to deposit more than two years ago, you may contact us to disable the card profile and withdraw by wire transfer.

Prior to withdrawing your funds with an alternative method due to a credit/debit card being replaced, lost/stolen or closed, OANDA requires documentation from your bank verifying that the original card is no longer in service.

The bank issued document must include the following information:

  • Name of the bank credit/debit card owner

  • Last four digits of the card number

  • A statement citing the card is no longer in service

Please forward this document to us by email at frontdesk@oanda.com and we will contact you back with the next steps within one to two business days.

    1. Your full name

    2. The bank account number

    3. Your current address (addresses need match what is on file with OANDA)

    4. The banks logo or emblem

If you are withdrawing to a bank account that you had previously not made any deposits from, we will need confirmation that you are the owner of the bank account. If we are unable to confirm your details from the bank or wire transfer, we will request a scan, screenshot or photo of your bank statement, clearly showing:

  1. Your full name

  2. The bank account number

  3. Your current address (addresses need match what is on file with OANDA)

  4. The banks logo or emblem

  5. The date of issue which should be within the last 3 months.

Residents of Taiwan and Thailand who have less than US$9000 deposits or withdrawals may submit bank passbooks with or without address, instead of bank statements.
