XS says withdrawals are typically processed within 24 hours, including at weekends, and that it charges no withdrawal fees (except up to 3% where there has been no trading activity or abuse). You must withdraw by the same method you deposited with. Minimums: $5 by card, $15 by Neteller, $50 by Skrill and $250 by bank transfer.
Times and fees
From XS’s help centre:
- Processing: typically within 24 hours.
- Weekends: requests are processed over the weekend.
- Fees: XS charges no withdrawal fees. Its funding page adds that XS bears its own payment-provider costs, but may apply up to 3% where there has been no trading activity, or where it identifies abusive trading, fraud or another breach of the client agreement. Third-party banks and providers can charge their own conversion or intermediary fees.
How long the money then takes to arrive depends on the method; XS doesn’t publish arrival times per withdrawal method.
Limits by method
| Method | Minimum | Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Bank transfer | $250 | Unlimited |
| Visa / Mastercard | $5 | $25,000 |
| Skrill | $50 | $15,000 or equivalent |
| Neteller | $15 | $2,500 or equivalent |
XS also lists online banking and local payment solutions depending on your country; their limits appear in the client portal.
Rules to know
- Same method only. XS says every withdrawal must use the method you deposited with. Choose a deposit method you can also receive money on.
- No third parties. Third-party deposits aren’t allowed, and withdrawals go to your own method.
- Open positions: allowed, as long as your free margin stays sufficient.
- Currency conversion can change the amount you receive, which XS’s help centre lists as a reason the received amount differs from the request.
Why withdrawals get stuck
XS’s help centre has articles on pending and declined withdrawals. The reason it names as most common for declines is an incorrect or unsupported payment method. Others to check: unverified documents, insufficient free margin, and a payment method that’s no longer available (XS has a separate article on that). If a request stays pending beyond 24 hours, contact support with the request details and see our withdrawal refusal guide.
Offshore context
Clients on xs.com deal with XS Ltd, licensed in Seychelles. XS states it segregates client funds and carries Lloyd’s civil liability insurance, but a Seychelles licence isn’t EU- or UK-level protection. A small first withdrawal is the best check. See is XS safe? and fast-withdrawal brokers.
