Withdrawals at AvaTrade
Trading online is all about mastering the markets and taking advantage of the many trading opportunities in the financial markets. It is therefore important that you are left to focus on that, rather than administrative tasks like making withdrawals. For that reason we have made the process of withdrawing your profits as smooth and hassle-free as possible. Below we answer some of the most frequently asked questions.
- What is the withdrawal process at AvaTrade?
In order to withdraw your money from your AvaTrade account, you will need to ensure that your account has been verified and confirmed. Verifying your identity and account is one of the requirements of the regulatory bodies and AvaTrade is required to strictly follow the KYC or Know Your Customer process. This process requires AvaTrade to verify the identity of its clients and to assess any potential risks of illegal intentions. - What is the verification process and what documentation is required?
When you open a trading account with AvaTrade, you will need to provide AvaTrade with the following documents in order to verify your identity:- A clear, coloured copy of a valid government-issued ID, such as a passport, driver’s licence or an ID card. The following information must be clearly visible on the ID: Full name, date of birth and picture. Please note that it is vital that the information you have used to register your account, matches the information on the ID document provided.
- In order to verify your address, or place of residence, you will need to provide a utility bill, such as water, electricity, gas, local authority waste disposal or land-line phone. This bill needs to contain the following information: Full name and address. Please note that the utility bill you supply to AvaTrade needs to be not older than six months. The details on the utility bill must also match the personal details you registered with.
- If you have made a deposit using a credit card or have made a deposit on behalf of a third party, you will be required to send verification documents for both parties. You will also need to send AvaTrade a clear, colour copy of the front and back of the credit card used. The copy sent needs to clearly show your full name, the expiration date of the credit card, and the first and last 4 digits of the credit card number. Please note that you may block the middle 8 digits of the card number as well as the CVV security code on the back of the credit card and power of attorney (POA) form.
All the required documentation mentioned above must be clear, readable and sent to AvaTrade, ensuring that all four corners of each document are clearly visible.
It is very important to note that AvaTrade is not a tax substitute and we request all our British traders to contact the necessary authorities to verify the tax implications.
Once all the required verification documentation has been sent and approved by AvaTrade, you can then go to the ‘My AVA’ section in your account and complete the withdrawal form in order to get the withdrawal process started.
- How long does it take to withdraw funds from my AvaTrade account?
At AvaTrade, we understand that being able to access your funds quickly and seamlessly, is important. We, therefore, offer a quick withdrawal process. The AvaTrade withdrawal process takes only one or two working days. Please note that AvaTrade operates from Monday to Friday, excluding weekends and other public holidays or festive days included in the official calendar. It is important to note that in some cases, there may be a delay in you receiving your funds as a result of clearance delays from banking institutions, electronic payment systems and credit cards. Please feel free to contact your banking institution to get more information on their processes. - How does AvaTrade’s withdrawal process differ to other brokers?
At AvaTrade, we pride ourselves on offering exceptional service and meeting the needs of our clients. In comparison, it takes AvaTrade only 24-48 hours to complete the withdrawal process once your account has been verified, while it could take other brokers up to 8 days to process a withdrawal request. Our seamless withdrawal process and the importance we place on giving our clients top quality service as well as reliability and speed in managing their money, is clearly evident when you join the AvaTrade family. Our existing clients and all those who choose to invest with AvaTrade, know that their money is safe and secure and that the process in which they can withdraw their profits earned on the leading forex and CFD broker’s platforms, is simple and fast. - What withdrawal methods are available at AvaTrade?
As a regulated broker, AvaTrade needs to operate within strict regulatory requirements. As a result of international anti-money laundering regulations, withdrawals can only be sent via the payment methods by which you funded your account. It is very important to note that you must withdraw up to 100% of your deposit to your credit or debit card. After this, you may then withdraw funds by another method, as per your instructions, but it must be in your own name. Let us look at an example for clarification. If you made a credit card deposit of $1,000 and you made a $1,500 profit, the first $1,000 you withdraw will go back to the original credit card used to make the deposit, and then the balance of $1500, can be withdrawn using a different method, such as wire transfer, and other e-payment methods (for non-EU customers only).
In the case of a deposit made via a third party, that is not a credit card payment method, you must withdraw 100% of the deposit transaction on this initial payment method. - Why has my withdrawal request not been processed?
It takes between 24-48 hours to process a withdrawal request if the account verification process has been completed and approved by AvaTrade. This is the process for credit cards, debit cards and e-money. In the case of wire transfers, it can take up to 10 business days for the funds to reflect in your account. Please check the delay times with your banking institution.
It is also important to ensure that before you make a withdrawal request with AvaTrade, that all requirements are met as follows:- Account verification – Has the verification documentation been sent to AvaTrade according to the requirements?
- Promotions – Have you met the minimum trading requirements of the promotion volume?
- Margin – Do you have sufficient usable margin in your account?
- Payment method – Have you requested a withdrawal through the correct withdrawal method?
Please note that AvaTrade may require additional verification documentation and once all requirements are met, your withdrawal will be processed immediately.
- How can I withdraw funds from the DupliTrade platform?
DupliTrade is an auto-trading platform offered by AvaTrade that enables our traders to easily duplicate or copy the trades of other traders on the platform, directly into your AvaTrade trading account. All monetary transactions that occur on the DupliTrade platform are handled by AvaTrade.

Avatrade Withdrawals and Deposits FAQ
- How difficult is it to deposit at AvaTrade?
Depositing funds at AvaTrade is no more difficult than making a deposit at your local bank. In fact, for some it could be even easier. Once your account has been approved and verified you can access deposit options right in the trading platform and easily deposit to start trading. You’ll be able to use a bank wire and credit or debit cards to fund your account quickly. And depending on what country you reside in you’ll also be able to choose from a large variety of online ewallets.
- How difficult is it to withdraw at AvaTrade?
Presuming that you’ve already submitted the necessary identification documents for KYC and AML verifications a withdrawal at AvaTrade is almost as easy as a withdrawal from an ATM. Withdrawal requests can be submitted in under a minute through the trading platform and are approved as quickly as possible, typically within one business day. Depending on where the withdrawal is being sent you could receive it immediately or it may take several business days, but that timing is due to processes and procedures from your financial institution.
- Is there anything that could prevent me from making a deposit of a withdrawal at AvaTrade?
The most common problems we see with deposits and withdrawals here at AvaTrade are from people who are trying to make deposits from countries not supported by our platform, or from those who haven’t cleared our KYC/AML requirements. All of our clients are required to submit documents that confirm their identity and their residence before we can process withdrawal requests. This has caused some issues in the past when the regulations weren’t as well known, but by this time we believe everyone is aware of the KYC/AML requirements and problems with deposits and withdrawals are minimal.
