What this means

Withdrawals are stated at Typically 1-3 business days, against Instant for cards; bank transfer typically same day to 3 business days for deposits. A gap between the two is normal and not in itself a warning sign - identity checks are a legal obligation, not obstruction. What is worth noticing is a withdrawal that keeps meeting new conditions after those checks are done.

Withdrawal routes: bank transfer, debit/credit card and supported original funding methods. Money is usually returned by the route it arrived on, so the deposit method you pick is in effect the withdrawal method you are picking too.

The minimum withdrawal is $0 - relevant if you intend to fund the account lightly, since it sets the smallest amount you can take out at a time.
