Can I transfer funds deposited via debit card to Winaday right away?

No. At times, your crypto withdrawals may be temporarily restricted. If you made a buy order using a debit card, a hold is placed on your account. This includes debit card payments made using Apple Pay and Google Pay. The withdrawal hold will be active for the duration that the funds are in transit.

Pending bank transfer or debit card transfer usually take 24 hours to clear, while password change or new device can result in as much as 72 hours restriction. Depositing in EUR can take 4-5 days to clear.
