A wallet withdrawal is a transaction that takes money out of a digital wallet and sends it somewhere outside the provider's system. For e-money and payment app wallets, the usual destinations are the customer's bank account, by domestic transfer or instant payment, or a debit card through a push-to-card payout. Taking physical cash from an agent or ATM is usually called a wallet cash-out. On a crypto exchange or custodial wallet, a withdrawal sends coins or tokens to an external wallet address, and the customer pays a network fee as well as any provider charge. Providers often charge a payout fee for faster methods. Withdrawals are a key control point for fraud and money laundering. Providers therefore apply limits, screen destination accounts and addresses, may hold newly deposited funds before they can be withdrawn, and for crypto transfers to other firms collect the information required by the Travel Rule.
