Can deposited money be withdrawn on the same day?
Generally, no. Most brokers restrict same-day withdrawal of freshly deposited funds as a fraud-prevention and compliance measure, often requiring the funds to be in the account for a certain period, or tying withdrawal eligibility to specific banking cut-off times, before allowing them back out. This isn’t about the money not being ‘real’ yet, it’s a deliberate control most brokers apply, partly following exchange and regulatory guidance around fund movement. If you deposit money and immediately want to withdraw it without trading, you check the specific broker’s policy on same-day withdrawal, since rules vary; some allow it after a short delay within the same day, others push it to the next business day regardless of when the deposit happened. You generally treat deposits as committed for at least a day if there’s any chance you’ll want the funds back quickly, to avoid a withdrawal request getting rejected or delayed.
