# Withdrawals

> Withdraw USDC to your own wallet any time, with no minimum and a flat $1 fee. Cash-out to a bank account is coming soon.

Your funds are yours to move whenever you want. There are no lockups and no settlement periods.

## What you can withdraw to today

| Method | Status | Details |
| - | - | - |
| **Stablecoin (USDC) to your wallet** | Live | Sent on the Arbitrum network. No minimum. Flat \$1 fee. |
| **Cash-out through an offramp provider** | Available where supported | Sell USDC for local currency through an offramp provider of your choice, if offramps are available in your region and supported on Alpha. |
| **Bank account (direct)** | **Coming soon** | Withdraw straight to a bank account from the app. |

<Note>
  **Direct bank withdrawals are not yet available.** Until they launch, you can withdraw USDC to a wallet address, or cash out through an offramp provider where one is available in your region and supported on Alpha. If neither works for you, withdraw USDC to an exchange account you own that supports Arbitrum deposits and sell it there. We will update this page when direct bank cash-out is live.

## Why can't I withdraw my full balance?

Your **portfolio value** includes margin locked in open positions and unrealized PnL. Only your **available balance** can be withdrawn. Close or reduce positions to free up more. See [Portfolio balance](/faq/portfolio-balance).

## My withdrawal has not arrived

1. Check the status in **Activity**. Most withdrawals complete in minutes.
2. Confirm on the receiving side that the wallet or exchange has credited USDC on Arbitrum. Exchanges sometimes take longer to credit than the network takes to send.
3. If it has been more than an hour, [contact support](/faq/contact-support) with the transaction ID from **Activity**.
