Frequently Asked Questions

Why can’t I see the “Withdraw Cash” option?

Cash withdrawal features are region-specific due to local regulatory requirements. If you don’t see the option, it may mean your account isn't currently eligible for this service. Ensure your identity and region settings are correctly updated in your profile.

Can I withdraw before my bank account is verified?

No. You must complete the verification process by making a successful deposit from the bank account you intend to use. Withdrawals are only permitted after full verification.

How do I know if my bank account is verified?

Your bank account is marked as verified once a deposit from that account has been successfully received and cleared in your OKX wallet. You’ll also receive a confirmation notification within the app or email.

How long does verification take?

Verification typically occurs within 1–3 business days after your deposit reaches OKX, depending on the sending bank’s processing speed.

Can I use multiple bank accounts for withdrawals?

Yes—but each account must go through the same verification process. You’ll need to make a deposit from each individual bank account before it can be used for withdrawals.

Where can I check my withdrawal history?

This lets you track past transactions, statuses, and estimated arrival times.

Final Tips for Smooth Transactions

To avoid delays or failed transfers:

Security remains a top priority—never share your 2FA codes or SMS verifications with anyone.
