Transfer Rules
To comply with global regulatory standards and protect your account, a few rules below are applicable to all cash deposits and withdrawals.
Own Name Only, No Third-Party Payments
Bullish enforces a strict "Own Name Only" policy. The name on the bank account used for deposits or withdrawals must exactly match the name on your Bullish account.
Non-Bank Payment Providers (e.g., Wise): Transfers from non-bank providers often display the provider's name as the sender rather than yours. These are treated as third-party payments and will be rejected. We strongly recommend using a traditional bank account held directly in your name to ensure the sender information matches our records.
Corporate Accounts: Institutional clients must fund accounts from a bank account in the Entity name. Deposits from personal accounts belonging to individual owners or directors are considered third-party and will be rejected.
Same Bank Account
For security, you can only withdraw to the same bank account used for a successful deposit.
Bank Account Verification
You may be required to provide a copy of your bank statement to verify the accuracy of your bank account information.
Additional Fees
Please be aware that additional fees may be charged by the banks involved in the transfer chain.
Inactivity Rule for Bullish EU customers
If the funds in your account are not actively used for trading activities for more than 30 days, you are required to withdraw the relevant amount.
