# Fund Withdrawals and Transfers

This guide outlines how fund withdrawals work with **Tebex Checkout**, including payout timelines, supported methods, minimum thresholds, and restrictions.

***

### Settlement & Withdrawal Timeline

Before you can withdraw funds, payments must first **settle**. The default settlement time for payments is 14 days.

➤ Check your store’s [settlement times](https://creator.tebex.io/payment-methods) in your Control Panel.

### Withdrawal Restrictions

Tebex uses **security delays and rules** to protect your wallet:

| Restriction Type         | Description                               |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| **New payout method**    | 5-day hold before withdrawals are allowed |
| **Updated method**       | Only one update per 30 days per currency  |
| **Daily limit**          | One withdrawal allowed every 24 hours     |
| **First withdrawal cap** | $1,000 max (limit is removed afterward)   |

***

### Adding or Updating Payout Methods

1. Go to **Control Panel → Payments → Wallet**
2. Select your payout method (PayPal, Bank, or Wire)
3. Enter the required region, currency, and account info

> ⚠️ You can only register **one payout method per currency**. Adding a new one will replace the existing method.

***

### Withdrawal Reviews

Withdrawals may be reviewed by Tebex or our partner, **HyperWallet**.

* This is a standard part of compliance
* No action is needed unless you are contacted
* Reviews usually add **1–2 working days** of delay

***

### Wire Transfer Availability

Wire transfers are supported in over 200 countries.\
➤ [View full country list here](https://docs.tebex.io/creators/tebex-checkout/fund-withdrawals-and-transfers/wire-transfer-list-of-countries-and-fees)

> 💸 Fees for wire transfers are higher than other methods. We recommend using **bank transfer** where possible.

***

### FAQs

#### Why can't I withdraw funds right away?

Funds must settle before being released. Also, new payout methods trigger a 5-day delay.

#### How do I know what fees apply to me?

Check the **Wallet section** of your Control Panel for your store's withdrawal and currency settings.

#### My withdrawal is still under review. What should I do?

Nothing—this is part of our regular security process. If action is needed, we will contact you.
