Short answer: among the brokers we checked on 5 November 2026, the fastest published processing times are JustMarkets (processed from its side within 1 minute), Hantec Markets (as little as 5 minutes), BlackBull Markets (instant on approval for cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Skrill) and XM (processed instantly). The slowest published card times are FxPro (around 10 working days) and HFM bank transfer and cards (2 to 10 business days). Processing time is when the broker sends the money; when it reaches you also depends on your bank or payment provider. All broker facts below come from The Forex Bridge, our sister site, which quotes each fact from the broker's own pages and dates it.
Risk warning: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Each broker's own figure for the share of retail accounts that lose money is shown in the table below.
Why withdrawal time matters after you get funded
When a prop firm pays you, the money arrives on the firm's rail: on-chain USDC or USDT, a bank transfer or a payment provider. Our live prop firm payout tracker showed $4,630,256 paid on-chain in the last 24 hours and $110,149,208 in 30 days across 36 firms on 4 November 2026. Many traders then keep some of that profit as personal trading capital at a regulated broker, and later move it out again. At that point the broker's withdrawal rules decide how fast you can reach your own money: the method you must use, the fee, the minimum, the cut-off time and the number of days the broker says it needs.
This guide compares those published rules. It does not recommend a broker and it does not rank brokers for money. For a prop firm account itself, the comparison is different: see our guide on prop firm vs your own broker account.
How to read a withdrawal time
- Processing time is how long the broker says it takes to approve and send your request. "Instant" or "within 1 minute" refers to the broker's side only.
- Arrival time adds your bank or payment provider. HFM, XM and Tickmill all state separate times for processing and for arrival.
- Same method back: most brokers send money back the way it came in, and a card deposit usually goes back to the card first. Check this before you fund the account.
- Cut-off times: IG processes bank withdrawals requested before 12:00 UK time on a working day the same day. Admirals (Admirals Europe Ltd) processes requests made before 18:00 EET on the same business day.
- Fees and minimums change the real cost of a small withdrawal. A $5 fee on a $50 withdrawal is 10%.
Brokers compared by published withdrawal time (checked 5 November 2026)
Facts were read on The Forex Bridge's withdrawal table by broker and its broker pages on 5 November 2026. The TFB Score is out of 100. The losing-accounts figure is the broker's own published share of retail accounts that lose money; "n/p" means it is not on The Forex Bridge's page for that broker.
| Broker | Published withdrawal time | Fee stated by the broker | TFB Score | Retail accounts losing money (broker's own figure) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JustMarkets | Processed instantly from JustMarkets' side (within 1 minute); provider delays possible | No fees on deposits or withdrawals (banks and payment systems may charge) | 80 | 69.19% |
| Hantec Markets | Processed in as little as 5 minutes | No broker processing fees (payment providers may charge their own) | 60 | n/p |
| BlackBull Markets | Instant on approval (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Skrill) | $5 per withdrawal (some exceptions); minimum $10 on cards, $50 on Skrill | 77 | n/p |
| XM | Processed instantly; bank wire and cards usually 2 to 5 business days to arrive | No withdrawal fees; covers its bank's fees on international wires of $200 or more | 82 | n/p |
| InstaForex | Average processing under 4 hours; methods listed as within the nearest working day (EU site) | 1 EUR or 1 USD by card; Skrill 1%; SEPA from 20 EUR; SWIFT from 45 EUR | 79 | 77.95% |
| Global Prime | Most methods (not bank wire) processed within hours; bank wire requests before 00:00 GMT processed the same day | No fees (Vanuatu entity); international banks may charge their own | 80 | n/p |
| ActivTrades | Same working day by bank transfer; about 30 minutes for cards, Neteller, Skrill and crypto (indicative) | Free (third-party or intermediary bank charges may be deducted) | 86 | 70% |
| Vantage | Generally processed within 24 hours; receipt in 1 to 7 business days, bank wire 3 to 5 | None charged by Vantage (your bank or intermediaries may charge on bank wire) | 89 | 72.65% |
| GO Markets | 1 business day per method; first-time deposits and withdrawals may take 1 to 3 business days | No GO Markets fee; non-Australian intermediary banks may charge | 88 | 78% |

| HFM | Bank transfer and cards 2 to 10 business days; alternative methods instant to 24 hours | No HFM fee (banks or payment providers may charge); minimums $5 cards, $100 bank transfer | 87 | 80.83% |

A fast published time is not a score of quality. Hantec Markets has the quickest stated processing time and a TFB Score of 60, while IG has a card arrival time of up to 5 working days and a TFB Score of 92. The Score blends regulation and safety, fees and costs, deposits and withdrawals, and platforms. Read the method on The Forex Bridge before you use it.
Fees and minimums that matter more than speed
Three cases show why the fee line matters:
- BlackBull Markets charges $5 per withdrawal on most methods and has a $10 minimum on cards. A $10 card withdrawal loses half its value to the fee.
- IG sets a £100 minimum by card or bank transfer, or your whole balance if it is under £100. Small profits stay in the account until they reach that level.
- InstaForex lists 1 EUR or 1 USD by card, Skrill 1%, SEPA from 20 EUR and SWIFT from 45 EUR. Pick the cheapest rail for the amount you are moving.
Fees and rules are not fixed. The Forex Bridge keeps a page of dated broker fee and rule changes quoted from the brokers' own pages, which is the quickest way to see whether a withdrawal rule moved since you last looked.
A five-step check before you fund a broker account
- Check the regulator for your country. The entity that holds your account decides the rules. XM, for example, lists regulators in Belize, Cyprus, Dubai, South Africa, Kenya, Mauritius and Seychelles on its Forex Bridge page; the licence that applies to you depends on where you live.
- Read the withdrawal method line. If the broker returns money to the source of the deposit, fund with a method you can also receive money on.
- Note the cut-off time and the time zone it uses (UK time at IG, EET at Admirals Europe).
- Do a small test withdrawal after your first deposit, before you move a larger amount. Time it from the request to the money arriving.
- Write down the fee for the amount you usually withdraw and compare it across methods.
Broker profiles worth reading in full
Two examples from the table show how much the details differ between brokers with similar withdrawal times. Tickmill states no withdrawal commission on any listed method, processes within 1 working day and lists arrival of 2 to 7 working days by bank wire and up to 8 working days to cards. Its TFB Score is 89 and it publishes a 68% figure for retail accounts that lose money; read the full detail in Tickmill's review on The Forex Bridge. XM processes instantly and covers its bank's fees on international wires of $200 or more, with a minimum deposit of $5 on Standard and Ultra Low accounts; the licences and the entities behind them are listed in the XM review with its licence list.
What this guide does not tell you
- Published times are the broker's own statements or times reported by traders with proof of an account. They are not a guarantee for your withdrawal.
- Methods, fees and times can differ by country and by the entity that holds your account.
- Brokers marked "n/p" do not have a published share of losing accounts on The Forex Bridge. That is a gap in what is published, not a statement that none lose money.
- No broker in this table is a prop firm. Prop firm payouts follow the firm's own payout rules, which you can check on the firm's page and on our payout tracker.
About our sister site
The Forex Bridge is our sister site, owned by the founder of Prop Firm Bridge. It reviews forex and CFD brokers from the brokers' own websites and the regulators' public registers, shows the date each fact was checked, and does not let any broker pay for a score or a rank. Some outbound links on it are affiliate links; they never change a score or a ranking.
Risk warning: trading leveraged products such as forex and CFDs carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for everyone. You can lose more than you deposit with some products. The share of retail accounts that lose money at the brokers in the table ranges from 68% to 81.9% on the figures the brokers publish. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and nothing here is financial advice.
