Based on my research and personal experience with SBI SECURITIES, the withdrawal process is generally secure but somewhat traditional compared to brokers catering to international clients. SBI SECURITIES does not charge withdrawal fees, which I find reassuring from a cost-management perspective. However, the platform seems primarily oriented towards Japanese residents, and all processes—including withdrawals—tend to follow standard domestic banking protocols. When withdrawing funds to a Japanese bank account, the timeframe may vary depending on when the withdrawal request is submitted. Typically, if I initiate a withdrawal request during standard business hours on a weekday, the funds are usually credited to my Japanese bank account within one to two business days. If the request is made on a non-business day or during holidays, the processing will likely be delayed until the next business day. I have not seen evidence of e-wallet withdrawal support, so I would not rely on this channel with SBI SECURITIES. One thing I am cautious about: although SBI SECURITIES is regulated and reliable, there can sometimes be added verification steps or administrative checks, especially if a larger withdrawal is involved or if account details require review. These security protocols, while designed to protect my assets, can occasionally extend the withdrawal timeframe. For traders based outside Japan, the withdrawal process might be lengthier or more complex due to local banking arrangements or language barriers. Therefore, I always plan ahead and avoid relying on instant access to withdrawn funds, particularly if I need quick liquidity for time-sensitive trades or expenses.
