Why won't my Coinbase let me cash out?
It's directly related to purchasing crypto or adding cash in local currency using a linked bank account. For security reasons, you won't be able to immediately cash out your local currency using a linked bank account or send crypto purchased with such funds off of Coinbase (we call this “cashout availability”).
There could be several reasons why you can't withdraw from Coinbase to your bank account. Some possible causes are: You have not linked your bank account to Coinbase yet. You need to add a payment method that can make and accept SEPA payments or wire transfers.
If you are unable to sell or withdraw from Coinbase, it could be due to one of a few reasons: There are restrictions in your region. You are a new account holder. You haven't completed the verification.
- Sign in to your Coinbase.com account.
- Select My assets in the navigation bar.
- Select next to your local currency and choose Cash out.
- Enter the amount of currency you want to cash out. ...
- Select your bank account and choose Continue.
- Select Continue and choose Cash out now.
Since your local currency is stored within your Coinbase account, all buys and sells occur instantly. Cashing out to your bank account via SEPA transfer generally takes one to two business days. Cashout by wire should complete within one business day.
When you first link a bank account to Coinbase, there is typically a 7-day waiting period before you can use the funds to buy or sell cryptocurrency. This is due to security and compliance reasons. After the 7-day waiting period, you should be able to see the funds in your account and use them to cash out.
Your crypto withdrawals may be temporarily restricted for a few different reasons: Sign-In From a New Device. Pending Bank Transfer (ACH) Pending Debit Card Transfer (24 hour hold)
- Sign in to your Coinbase.com account.
- Select My Assets.
- Select your local currency balance.
- Select the Cash out tab and enter the amount you want to cash out.
- Select Transfer to and choose your cash out destination.
- Select Review.
- Select Withdraw cash to complete your transfer.
Typically, when you deposit funds into your Coinbase account using a bank transfer, the funds may take several business days to clear and become available for trading or sending. Coinbase usually provides an estimated clearing time when you make the deposit, but this can vary depending on the bank's processing times.
If you would like to release your funds from being on hold, you'll need to cancel the associated open order and/or close your futures positions.
Why is Coinbase holding my funds?
Account Verification: Coinbase may require users to complete a verification process to comply with regulatory requirements and ensure the security of their platform. If your account is still being verified, it's possible that your funds are temporarily on hold until the verification process is completed.
Coinbase Exchange account holders have a default withdrawal limit of $100,000 per day. This amount applies across all currencies.
This restriction may be applied for several reasons
Our security team suspected that your account was being targeted by a malicious user. We detected a security issue with your information when processing an account recovery.
To transfer cash from Coinbase to your linked debit card, bank account, or PayPal account, you first need to sell cryptocurrency to your USD balance. After this, you can cash out the funds.
Since Coinbase partners with various payment service providers in different geographic regions, the timing will vary according to your location and payment method. Some orders may take a little longer to complete. If your order shows as pending, it means it has not yet been completed and may still be canceled.
The ACH bank transfer system typically takes 3-5 business days to complete after initiating a sell or withdrawal. Coinbase will deduct the balance from your source of funds and begin the bank transfer immediately.
The ACH bank transfer system is used for payments with your bank account and typically takes 3-5 business days* to complete after initiating a purchase. The timing will be displayed prior to confirming your order.
This wait period is in place to ensure that your funds have cleared before you are able to send Bitcoin to another address. This helps prevent fraud and ensures the security of your funds. If you need to send Bitcoin sooner, you can use a debit card or another instant payment method to purchase Bitcoin on Coinbase.
Open your Crypto Wallet. Tap the TRANSFER button > “Withdraw” > “External Wallet” Click on the "+ Add Wallet Address" button to add a new withdrawal address. If you already have one or more added, click the "+" in the upper right corner and tap "Wallet Address" to see the option appear.
It is important to note that most banks don't recognize Bitcoin. Users have to sell it on a crypto exchange first, then transfer the fiat proceeds (EUR, USD, GBP) to their bank account. You will first have to sign up for a cryptocurrency exchange and sell your Bitcoin there.
Why is my bank blocking crypto?
Potential risks associated with securing and safeguarding cryptocurrencies on behalf of their customers, often lead banks to ban such transactions.
If Coinbase indicates that you have 0 available to cash out, there could be several reasons for this: Insufficient Balance: Ensure that you have a positive balance in your Coinbase account. If your cryptocurrency holdings are not sufficient for the desired cash-out amount, you won't be able to initiate a withdrawal.

Instant cash outs allow US Coinbase customers to instantly cashout money from your USD balance directly to your Real Time Payments (RTP) enabled US bank accounts.
What is 24-Hour Withdrawal Lock? It is a feature that adds an additional layer of security to safeguard your funds. It protects your account by disabling withdrawals for 24 hours to addresses that have been newly-whitelisted.
