Withdrawing Singapore Dollars (SGD) from your OKX account to a local bank account is a straightforward process designed for users in Singapore. This guide covers the steps for both web and app platforms, important notes, and answers to common questions.
Prerequisites for SGD Withdrawal
Before initiating a withdrawal, ensure you meet the following criteria:
- Your OKX account must be registered and verified.
- You must be a resident of Singapore, as SGD bank transfers are currently exclusive to Singaporean customers.
- The bank account you wish to withdraw to must have been previously used to make a successful deposit into your OKX account. This deposit verifies the ownership of the receiving account.
How to Withdraw SGD on the Web
Follow these steps to complete a withdrawal using the OKX website:
- Log In and Navigate: Sign in to your account on the OKX website. Go to the 'Assets' section and select 'Withdraw'.
- Select Currency: Choose Singapore Dollar (SGD) as your withdrawal currency.
- Enter Details: Select your verified bank account from the dropdown menu, enter the amount you wish to withdraw, and click 'Preview Withdrawal'.
- Authorize and Complete: Enter your two-factor authentication (2FA) code, which could be an authorization code from your authenticator app or an SMS code. Finally, click 'Withdraw' to complete the transaction.
Withdrawals via Singapore's FAST network are typically processed instantly.
How to Withdraw SGD on the Mobile App
The process is similarly intuitive on the OKX mobile application:
- Open the App: Launch the OKX app on your device. Tap on 'Assets', then 'Withdraw', and finally select 'Withdraw SGD'.

Important Notes on SGD Withdrawals
- Account Verification: You can only withdraw funds to a bank account that has already been used to deposit funds into your OKX account. This first deposit acts as proof of ownership.
- PayLah! and Singtel Dash Users: If you deposited using PayLah! or Singtel Dash, your withdrawal account will be listed as the linked mobile phone number. Ensure you are withdrawing to the most recent phone number associated with these services. Withdrawing to an old number may result in funds being sent to the wrong recipient.
- Unsupported Methods: You cannot request withdrawals to GrabPay e-wallet, Wise, or LifeSG accounts.
- Speed: Withdrawals processed through FAST are instant.
Verifying Receiving Account Ownership
To comply with financial regulations in Singapore, you must verify the ownership of any bank account before its first use for withdrawal. The verification process is simple:
- Make a Deposit: The easiest way to verify a bank account is to use it to make a successful cash deposit into your OKX account. Once that deposit is processed, the account is automatically flagged as verified and will be available for future withdrawal requests.
This process is mandatory for both the web platform and the mobile app.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I see the 'Withdraw SGD' option?
SGD deposit and withdrawal services are geographically restricted to comply with local regulations. If this feature is unavailable, your account may not be currently eligible, likely because it is not identified as being based in Singapore.
Can I withdraw funds while my bank account verification is pending?
No. Withdrawals to a specific bank account are only permitted after its ownership has been successfully verified through an initial deposit.
How do I know if my bank account is verified?
A bank account is automatically verified once a deposit from it has been successfully processed and credited to your OKX account. Verified accounts will be selectable in the withdrawal menu.
Where can I check my withdrawal history?
You can review a history of all your transactions, including withdrawals, directly within your OKX account. On the web, navigate to the 'Withdraw' page. In the mobile app, you can find this history in your 'Portfolio' or 'Transaction History' section.
