FTMO confirmed same-day processing for Skrill and cryptocurrency withdrawals. Submit your payout request before noon CET and it clears the same day. Bank wire still takes 1-2 business days. The challenge fee refund on first payout applies regardless of withdrawal method.
The noon CET cutoff is the detail most traders miss. Requests submitted after that window roll to the next business day. Crypto and Skrill are the fastest options - for regular monthly payouts, either works well. Bank wire remains the default for larger amounts where transfer fees are less of a factor. FTMO has not changed the minimum payout amount or the profit split structure alongside this.
