# Withdrawals overview

> Convert crypto from managed wallets to fiat via bank wire.

## Withdrawals overview

Withdrawals convert crypto from your Prudra managed wallet to fiat and deliver it via bank wire. Prudra handles the exchange — you provide a destination bank account and Prudra's ops team sends the wire.

## How withdrawals work

```mermaid theme={null}
sequenceDiagram
    participant W as Your wallet
    participant P as Prudra API
    participant E as Prudra exchange
    participant B as Your bank

    W->>P: withdraw({ amount, bankAccountId })
    P->>E: On-chain transfer to Prudra exchange address
    E-->>P: txHash confirmed
    P-->>W: Withdrawal response (status: pending_conversion)
    Note over E,B: Ops converts crypto → fiat (1–3 business days)
    B-->>W: Bank wire arrives
    P-->>W: withdrawal.completed webhook
```

Withdrawals are not instant — fiat conversion and bank wires take 1–3 business days after the on-chain transfer confirms.

## Quick start

```typescript theme={null}
import { initialise, Token, Chain } from '@prudra/core';
import { addBankAccount, withdraw } from '@prudra/wallet';

initialise({ apiKey: process.env.PRUDRA_API_KEY! });

// 1. Register your bank account (once)
const bank = await addBankAccount({
  accountName:   'Acme Ltd — Operations',
  sortCode:      '20-00-00',
  accountNumber: '12345678',
  currency:      'GBP',
});

// 2. Request withdrawal
const w = await withdraw({
  fromWalletId:   'mwt_clx1abc123',
  fromWalletType: 'master',
  amount:         '100.00',
  token:          Token.USDC,
  chain:          Chain.BASE,
  bankAccountId:  bank.id,
  reference:      'WD-001',
});

console.log(w.status);         // 'pending_conversion'
console.log(w.txHash);         // on-chain transfer hash
console.log(w.estimatedDays);  // 2
```

## Withdrawal status values

| Status                | Meaning                                               |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| `pending_conversion`  | On-chain transfer confirmed, awaiting fiat conversion |
| `conversion_complete` | Fiat converted, bank wire in transit                  |
| `completed`           | Wire arrived at destination bank                      |
| `failed`              | Conversion or wire failed — contact support           |
