I’m getting ready to start trading more seriously with IC Markets, and one thing I want to understand before I commit real money is their withdrawal speed and how transparent they are about it.
I’ve heard withdrawal time mentioned in a few reviews, but they’re all over the place - one person says three days, another says a week. I’m not sure if that’s because different payment methods take different times, or if people are just having different experiences, or if the review dates are old and things have changed.
What I really want to know is: when you withdrew money from IC Markets recently, how long did it actually take? What payment method did you use? And did you have to do anything special or jump through hoops to get your money out, or was it straightforward?
I’m looking for recent, real experiences here, not old reviews or speculation. If you’ve withdrawn in the last month or two, I’d appreciate hearing what actually happened on your end.
Withdrew money three times in the last two months. Used bank transfer twice and Skrill once.
Bank transfers took about three business days from submission to hitting my account. The first one took four days because I submitted it late Friday. Skrill was faster - showed up in about 18 hours, but there’s a small fee for that method.
Process was straightforward in the account. I requested the withdrawal, got a confirmation email, and the money moved. No weird verification questions or delays. The only annoying part was that I had to wait until my previous deposits had settled before I could withdraw, but that’s pretty standard.
Biggest thing to know: they process withdrawals on business days. If you submit Friday evening, don’t expect movement until Monday. That added to my first withdrawal time because I wasn’t paying attention to timing.
Withdrawal transparency at IC Markets is actually decent compared to other brokers. Bank transfers typically process in 2-5 business days depending on your bank and country. E-wallets like Skrill and Neteller are faster, usually 24 hours.
The key detail most traders miss: withdrawal speed depends on your deposit method matching. If you deposited with bank transfer, you typically need to withdraw to the same bank account. IC Markets enforces this for compliance. If you’re trying to withdraw to a different payment method than you deposited, that can add delays.
Also, they process withdrawals during business hours Monday through Friday. Submit Friday evening and you’re waiting until Monday to even see processing begin. Track your deposit method when you fund your account - it determines your withdrawal speed. If you want fast access, use Skrill or Neteller for depositing. If you want to use bank transfer, expect 3-5 business days.
I got my money out in about four days using bank transfer. Seemed normal to me.
Bank transfer takes three to five business days, Skrill about one day.
I’ve withdrawn twice now. First time I used bank transfer and it took about four business days. Second time I used Skrill and got the money in less than a day, though there’s a small fee involved.
The process itself was straightforward - just requested it in the account and they processed it. No surprise questions or verification delays. I think the key thing is just knowing that withdrawal times differ based on your payment method, so plan accordingly if you need the money quickly.
From what I’ve seen, they’re pretty reliable about getting the money out once they process it. The delay is more about the banking system than IC Markets.
Match your withdrawal method to your deposit method for faster processing time.
IC Markets has been consistent with withdrawal times recently - no major complaints on the forum about delays longer than the standard timeframes. Bank transfers 2-5 business days, e-wallets 24 hours. The transparency issue most traders face is not knowing which payment method they’ll need to use to withdraw. Pay attention when you deposit - screenshot your payment method. When you withdraw, use the same one. That’s the biggest variable in how fast your money gets back.
Withdrawals seem fine from what I know, no major problems reported recently.
