Please be aware of the business hours when making a withdrawal request. It is important to note that there may be delays in processing during public holidays and weekends. Additionally, please keep in mind that most payments, including withdrawals, are processed by banks during their business hours. This means that even if JP Markets processes the payment immediately, the time it takes for the bank to complete the transaction should also be considered. The exact duration of this turnaround time is dependent on the individual banks involved.
