“Does Puprime charge a withdrawal fee?” The answer depends on one specific detail: how many times you withdraw in a month, and by which method. This article answers each of the most common questions about fees and the withdrawal process at Puprime directly, including one term few people notice until their second withdrawal in the same month.
Does Puprime charge a withdrawal fee?
For most methods — e-wallets, crypto, cards, local bank transfer — the answer is no, Puprime doesn’t charge a fee on its side. But there’s ONE important exception: International Bank Transfer (IBT). Puprime fully reimburses bank fees for the FIRST IBT withdrawal in each calendar month, but starting from the second IBT withdrawal in that same month, a $20 processing fee applies.
Why the distinction between the first and subsequent withdrawals?
This is a fairly common industry mechanism to encourage customers to consolidate international withdrawal requests into a single one per month, rather than making several small withdrawals in a row — international SWIFT transfers are inherently costly to process for both sides (the broker and the intermediary bank), so this policy essentially shares part of that cost with customers who withdraw repeatedly instead of consolidating.
So how do you avoid this $20 fee?
The simplest way is to plan your withdrawals: if you plan to withdraw multiple times in a month, consolidate them into a single IBT request instead of splitting them up. If you genuinely need to withdraw multiple times, consider switching subsequent withdrawals to a different method (e-wallet or crypto) instead of continuing to use IBT — neither has a similar “fee from the second time” mechanism.
How long do other withdrawal methods take?
Crypto (specifically USDT-TRC20) is the fastest method, with Puprime’s processing time under 5 minutes on its side. E-wallets (Skrill, Neteller) usually take 1-3 business days. International bank transfer is the slowest, typically 2-5 business days due to multiple intermediary processing steps. Puprime processes the request on its side the same business day it’s submitted, but overall timing depends heavily on the method and intermediary channels.
What’s the minimum withdrawal amount?
The specific minimum depends on the payment method — there’s no single fixed figure that applies across every channel. Always check the exact minimum for your chosen method in your client area before submitting a request, to avoid it being rejected for falling below the allowed threshold.
Why do I have to withdraw to the same method I deposited with?
This is a standard anti-money-laundering (AML) rule applied at most regulated forex brokers, not just Puprime: you must withdraw back to the same method and account used to deposit, at minimum matching the amount deposited through that channel, before any additional profit can be withdrawn through a different channel.
A concrete example: withdrawing via IBT 3 times in one month
Suppose you withdraw $2,000 via IBT three times in the same month. The first time, Puprime fully reimburses the bank fee — you receive the full $2,000 (minus any intermediary bank fee, which Puprime reimburses). The second and third times, each is charged a $20 processing fee, totaling $40 for those two later withdrawals. If you consolidate all three into a single $6,000 request instead, you only incur an intermediary bank fee for one transfer (reimbursed by Puprime) and save the entire $40 in processing fees — a meaningful saving that comes purely from changing how you plan withdrawals, without needing to change methods.
What other trading costs should you track beyond withdrawal fees?
Three main cost categories: (1) spread — from 0.0 pips (Prime/ECN) to about 1.3 pips (Cent/Standard), (2) commission — $3.50/lot (Prime) or $1.50/lot (ECN) per side, not applicable on Cent/Standard, and (3) intermediary fees from banks/e-wallets on deposits and withdrawals — a cost Puprime doesn’t directly control but which affects the amount you receive, plus the $20 IBT fee from the second withdrawal onward analyzed above.
Does Puprime have an inactivity fee like some other brokers?
There’s no widely published evidence that Puprime applies an inactivity fee similar to XChief’s — but this policy can change over time, so always check the latest terms of service applicable to your account’s specific entity.
Comparing the IBT fee policy with the broader industry
Compared with many offshore brokers that don’t reimburse IBT fees for any withdrawal, Puprime‘s “first free each month” policy is actually a relative advantage, not a concerning hidden fee — as long as you understand the mechanism and plan your withdrawals accordingly. The issue only arises when a trader doesn’t know about this term and is caught off guard seeing a $20 fee appear on their second withdrawal without a clear warning beforehand during the process.
The value of reading the deposit/withdrawal policy carefully before trading
Puprime’s IBT fee case is a concrete illustration of why it’s worth carefully reading any broker’s Deposit and Withdrawal Policy BEFORE you start trading, not after you’ve already been caught out by an unexpected fee. Most brokers, including Puprime, publish this document openly on their official website — spending 10-15 minutes reading it can help avoid a lot of cost surprises throughout your time using the account afterward.
A note for traders withdrawing to Vietnam
For Vietnamese traders using international bank transfer, the “first free, $20 from the second” rule is especially worth noting — consolidate withdrawal needs for the month into a single request if possible. In addition, the receiving bank in Vietnam may apply its own fee for receiving international transfers, plus a possible deduction through an intermediary SWIFT bank — ask your own bank directly about their fee schedule before estimating the final amount you’ll receive.
What should you do about a rejected or delayed withdrawal request?
The most common causes: incomplete KYC, a withdrawal method that doesn’t match the deposit method, or incorrect receiving-account information. Contacting live chat or email support directly with your specific request ID is the most effective channel, rather than submitting a new request on top of an old one.
More frequently asked questions
Is the $20 IBT fee deducted before or after the funds arrive? It’s usually deducted directly from the withdrawal amount before it’s sent, meaning the amount you actually receive will be $20 less than what you requested — plan for this before submitting a request to avoid surprises.
If I withdraw via IBT twice across two consecutive months, am I charged? No, the “first free” rule resets separately for each calendar month — the first withdrawal of every new month is free.
How do I know exactly how many IBT withdrawals I’ve made this month? Check your transaction history in the Client Portal — the system keeps a full history of withdrawal requests made, letting you track accurately before submitting your next request.
Should you switch entirely to an e-wallet to avoid the IBT fee hassle altogether? If an e-wallet is available and convenient for you, this is the simplest way to eliminate having to track IBT withdrawal counts each month entirely — in exchange, some e-wallets may have their own receiving fee from the wallet provider’s side, so it’s still worth comparing total cost between the two options.
Can a withdrawal request be canceled after submission? Depends on the specific policy and processing stage — if the request hasn’t been processed yet (still pending), it can usually be canceled through your client area or by contacting support; once it’s moved into processing with the bank/blockchain, canceling is usually no longer possible.
