How to take withdrawals / how to get money from your account:

To make a withdrawal of funds, complete a withdrawal request on the Fund Transfers page in Account Management. The first cash withdrawal in any one month is free. (Yes, that does include wires!)  A fee will be a charged for each additional withdrawal. Click here to see a schedule of the fees charged after your first monthly cash withdrawal.

A withdrawal request will be processed only if the customer has sufficient available funds and equity in excess of the initial margin requirement. Available funds are defined as the lower of trade or settlement date funds. If a withdrawal request is rejected, you may re-enter the withdrawal request once there are sufficient available funds and equity in excess of the initial margin requirement.  Learn about Account Protection - Withdrawal Limits.

In accordance with anti-money laundering regulations, all withdrawals will be sent in the name of the account holder. (Not to a third party.)

In order to further protect our customers we have modified our security policies which may result in a delay of withdrawals for up to 72 hours for those customers making changes to their banking instructions or email address. Customers may contact customer service via phone to expedite this process if needed.

As PT is not a member of the European Union banking system, your bank, if located within a Eurozone member country, may charge you a fee upon the receipt of funds wired from your PT account. Please note that PT has no control over these fees and they are separate from any fee assessed by PT when multiple withdrawals are made from your account within any given month. As practices vary by bank, and PT has no information as to individual bank practices, we strongly suggest that you contact your bank to familiarize yourself with their policies for charging fees when receiving funds from institutions located outside the Eurozone.
