Withdrawals: ACH is free and slow. Everything else is a trade-off.

US members usually pull back through ACH: no Kalshi fee, three to four bank days, often to the same checking account that funded the deposit. Debit withdrawals exist for speed and cost a flat couple of dollars. Neither path is a Japanese furikomi or a KakaoPay payout.

International books funded with a wire or a card generally leave the same way they arrived, or through ZeroHash if that rail is still listed on your withdraw screen. Your receiving bank — not Kalshi — decides whether a USD credit posts to an FX account and what it skims in correspondent fees.

Open positions hold margin. You cannot withdraw the whole cash number you remember from last week. Settlement is $1 or $0 per contract; the withdrawable figure updates after the event, not after your opinion changes.

If a transfer sits past the window the app quotes, write Kalshi support inside the product. StartKalshi cannot see balances and cannot unfreeze a Member Agreement problem. Confirm the live withdraw screen before you plan rent around a credit.
