Why Do I Have to Wait to Withdraw From Coinbase?

When you make a purchase using Coinbase, the funds are first transferred from your bank account to Coinbase. This can take a few days.

Once the funds are in your Coinbase account, you can then withdraw them to your personal bank account.

NOTE: WARNING: Coinbase has a policy that customers must wait 7 days after initiating a withdrawal to receive the funds. This is to ensure user security and protect against fraud. Additionally, if you are withdrawing to a bank account, it may take up to 5 business days for the funds to be deposited into your bank account. Please plan accordingly and make sure you have enough funds available in the interim.

The reason for this is that Coinbase needs to comply with anti-money laundering lAWS. By law, Coinbase is required to verify your identity and keep records of your transactions.

When you first sign up for an account, you will need to provide some basic personal information and upload a photo ID. Once your identity is verified, you will be able to make purchases and withdrawals without any delays.

If you’re wondering why you have to wait to withdraw from Coinbase, it’s because of the legal requirements that Coinbase needs to comply with. By following these requirements, Coinbase is able to provide a safe and secure platform for you to buy and sell cryptocurrencies.
