Funds in Flight
Deposits may appear in your balance before they fully clear. These are called funds in flight and cannot be withdrawn until they are fully cleared. You can still trade while funds are in flight. Here’s how long each funding method typically takes to fully clear:| Funding Method | Processing Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Debit Card | 3–4 business days | Funds must fully clear before withdrawal |
| Bank Transfer (ACH) | 3–4 business days | Funds must fully clear before withdrawal |
| Wire Transfer | 1 business day | Withdrawals available after confirmation |
Original Funding Source
All withdrawals must return to the same payment method used for deposit. Funds cannot be redirected to new or third-party accounts. If your deposit method is no longer active, contact Polymarket US Support.First-In-First-Out (FIFO)
Withdrawals are processed in the order deposits were made. Example: If you deposit $100 by debit card and later $200 by bank transfer (ACH), your first $100 withdrawn will return to your debit card. This rule ensures compliance with anti-money-laundering (AML) regulations.Summary
- Deposits must fully clear before they can be withdrawn
- Withdrawals return only to the original funding source
- First-In-First-Out (FIFO) applies to every withdrawal
