How Long Does a Polymarket US Deposit Take?

By Chris Spags of Splash Play · Published · Updated

A Polymarket US deposit by debit card or bank transfer typically takes 3 to 4 business days to fully clear, and a wire typically takes 1 business day. Deposits other than wires may be credited with instant buying power while they process, and withdrawals open once the deposit has fully cleared.

Business days do not include weekends or holidays. A bank deposit still pending inside that window is a transfer still clearing.

Deposit time versus withdrawal time

You can trade with instant buying power before a deposit clears, but to withdraw the original deposit or any proceeds from instant buying power, the funds must fully clear. If a deposit is still pending after 5 business days, Polymarket US says to contact support.
