YRM Prop Payout Methods 2026

YRM Prop processes all payouts through Rise, offering three main withdrawal methods: bank transfer (ACH/SEPA/Wire), cryptocurrency (BTC/ETH/USDT), and e-wallets (PayPal, Skrill, Neteller)—each with different processing speeds, fees, and ideal use cases.

After testing all three methods across multiple payout cycles, I've settled on ACH bank transfer for 90% of my withdrawals despite it being slower than crypto, simply because the simplicity and directness outweigh the 1-2 day speed advantage crypto provides. The biggest surprise was learning that Rise (YRM Prop's payout platform) actually handles currency conversion reasonably well if you need EUR or GBP instead of USD, though crypto remains superior for international traders dealing with restrictive banking systems.

What matters most isn't which method is objectively "best"—it's which method fits your financial infrastructure, tax situation, and comfort level with different technologies. I've seen traders waste hours troubleshooting crypto wallet issues trying to save 24 hours of processing time, when a simple bank transfer would have been cleaner.

Here's what nobody mentions: your withdrawal method choice affects how you track income for taxes, how you prove trading profits for future opportunities, and how easily you can reinvest in additional challenges or scale operations.

Rise: YRM Prop's Payment Platform

Before diving into specific methods, understand that all YRM Prop payouts flow through Rise.

What Rise does:

• Receives funds from YRM Prop after approval
• Holds your balance until you request withdrawal
• Processes withdrawals to your chosen method
• Handles KYC/AML verification
• Provides transaction history

Why YRM Prop uses Rise:

From what I can tell, Rise specializes in payment processing for online platforms, particularly in trading/fintech. They handle compliance, multi-currency support, and multiple withdrawal methods—infrastructure YRM Prop doesn't want to build in-house.

The user experience:

After YRM Prop approves your payout, you receive an email: "Your withdrawal has been approved and sent to Rise." Within 4-24 hours, funds appear in your Rise account. You then log into Rise and request withdrawal to your bank, wallet, or e-wallet.

My take: The two-platform system (YRM Prop → Rise → Your bank) adds a step compared to firms that pay directly, but Rise's interface is clean and they've never had issues with my withdrawals. The extra 12 hours it takes to flow through Rise is worth the withdrawal flexibility they provide.

Bank Transfer: The Default Choice for Most Traders

This is how 70-80% of traders (including me) withdraw from Rise.

How Bank Transfer Works

The process:

1. Connect your bank account in Rise (routing number + account number for US, IBAN for Europe)
2. Verify account ownership (micro-deposits or instant verification)
3. Request withdrawal from Rise to your bank
4. Wait 1-5 business days depending on transfer type

Three types of bank transfers:

ACH (US Domestic):

• Processing time: 1-3 business days
• Fees: Typically free or minimal ($1-$3)
• Best for: US traders with US bank accounts
• My experience: Consistently arrives in 2-3 business days

SEPA (European Union):

• Processing time: 1-2 business days
• Fees: Usually free within SEPA zone
• Best for: EU traders
• Feedback from EU traders: Fast, reliable, straightforward

Wire Transfer (International/Same-Day):

• Processing time: Same day to 1 business day
• Fees: $15-$40 depending on banks
• Best for: Large withdrawals where speed justifies cost
• My experience: Used once for a $12,000 withdrawal, arrived next morning, $25 fee

My standard setup:

I use ACH to my Chase business checking account. Here's my typical timeline:

• Tuesday: Rise credits my account with YRM Prop payout
• Tuesday afternoon: Request ACH withdrawal
• Wednesday: Rise processes, initiates ACH
• Thursday-Friday: Funds arrive in Chase

Total from Rise credit to bank: 2-3 days

Pros and Cons of Bank Transfer

Advantages I've experienced:

1. Paper trail for taxes Every bank transfer creates a clean record: date, amount, source. My accountant loves this when preparing taxes. Compare that to crypto where I'd need to track wallet addresses, conversion timestamps, exchange fees, etc.

2. No conversion complexity Rise sends USD to my USD account. Done. No thinking about exchange rates, blockchain confirmations, or wallet compatibility.

3. Integration with personal finance Money lands in my checking account, same place as everything else. I can immediately pay bills, transfer to savings, invest in index funds, whatever. No intermediate steps.

4. Security FDIC-insured once it hits my bank. Lower risk of loss from hacking, scams, or user error compared to crypto wallets.

5. Professionalism When I applied for a mortgage last year, bank statements showing regular "Rise payment" deposits from trading looked legitimate. Crypto deposits from exchanges raised questions from the underwriter.

Disadvantages:

1. Slower than crypto2-3 days vs. under 2 hours for crypto. If I needed money urgently, bank transfer wouldn't work.

2. Banking hours matterWeekends don't count. Friday withdrawal becomes Monday processing, cash arrives Wednesday-Thursday. Crypto works 24/7.

3. International complexityFor non-US traders, wire transfers have fees, delays, and currency conversion costs. SEPA works well in EU, but outside those zones, bank transfers get expensive.

My verdict: Bank transfer is my default. It's boring, predictable, and creates clean records. Unless you have specific reasons to avoid banks, this is the simplest choice.

Cryptocurrency: The Speed King

Crypto withdrawals are 10× faster than bank transfers, but come with their own complexity.

How Crypto Withdrawal Works

The process:

1. Create a crypto wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase, etc.)
2. Add wallet address to Rise
3. Select crypto type (Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT)
4. Request withdrawal from Rise
5. Wait for blockchain confirmation (15 minutes to 2 hours)
6. Funds arrive in your wallet

Supported cryptocurrencies at Rise:

• Bitcoin (BTC) - Slowest confirmation, highest fees
• Ethereum (ETH) - Medium speed, medium fees
• Tether (USDT) - Fastest confirmation, lowest fees, stablecoin (1:1 USD peg)

My crypto experiments:

I've withdrawn via crypto twice, both times using USDT:

Withdrawal #1: $1,800 to USDT

• Tuesday 2:47 PM: Requested from Rise
• Tuesday 3:52 PM: Blockchain confirmation (1 hour 5 minutes)
• Tuesday 4:10 PM: Funds in my Trust Wallet
• Total time: 83 minutes

Withdrawal #2: $5,000 to USDT

• Monday 11:23 AM: Requested from Rise
• Monday 12:48 PM: Blockchain confirmation (1 hour 25 minutes)
• Total time: 85 minutes

Both times, I then transferred USDT to Coinbase, converted to USD, and withdrew to my bank (adding another 3 days), so the speed advantage evaporated. But if I'd wanted to hold USDT or immediately use it for trading elsewhere, crypto would have been vastly superior.

Why Choose Crypto?

Ideal scenarios:

1. International traders with banking restrictions If you're in a country where receiving USD wire transfers is expensive, problematic, or restricted, crypto is often the only practical method. I've talked to traders in Latin America and Southeast Asia who exclusively use USDT because their local banks charge 3-5% fees on international transfers.

2. Needing money ASAP Emergency expense, time-sensitive opportunity, whatever—crypto gets money to you in under 2 hours vs. 2-5 days for banks.

3. Already using crypto If you trade crypto, hold assets in stablecoins, or operate in the crypto ecosystem, receiving prop trading profits in USDT makes sense. Keep everything on-chain.

4. Privacy preferences Crypto provides more anonymity than bank transfers (though Rise still requires KYC, so you're not fully anonymous). Some traders prefer minimizing traditional financial footprint.

Crypto Risks and Considerations

Challenges I observed:

1. Wallet security You're responsible for your crypto. Lose your seed phrase? Money's gone forever. Get hacked? No FDIC insurance.

2. Conversion fees Unless you're holding USDT long-term, you'll convert to fiat eventually. Coinbase charges ~0.5-1.5% to convert USDT→USD. Then another 2-3 days to get USD to your bank. The speed advantage diminishes.

3. Tax complexity Every crypto transaction is a taxable event in the US. Rise payout → USDT = event. USDT → USD = event. Now you need to track basis, gains, holding periods. My accountant charges extra for crypto transaction reporting.

4. Volatility risk (if not using stablecoins) If you withdraw in BTC or ETH, price can swing 5-10% while waiting for confirmations or before you convert. USDT eliminates this risk (pegged to $1), so always use stablecoins if choosing crypto for prop payouts.

5. Learning curve Setting up wallets, understanding blockchain confirmations, managing private keys—it's not hard, but it's friction. If you're not already comfortable with crypto, the 2-3 day bank transfer might be easier than learning all this.

My recommendation: Use crypto if you're already in that ecosystem or have compelling reasons (international banking issues, speed urgency). Otherwise, the added complexity outweighs the speed benefit for most traders.

E-Wallets: The Middle Ground

Rise supports PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, and other e-wallet options.

Processing time: Under 24 hours typically, often same-day

Fees: Vary by e-wallet, generally 0-3%

My experience: I've never used e-wallets for YRM Prop payouts, but I've talked to European traders who prefer Skrill for currency conversion flexibility. They receive EUR in Skrill, avoiding USD→EUR conversion fees their banks would charge.

When e-wallets make sense:

1. Already using them - If you have an active Skrill or PayPal account for other purposes
2. Faster than bank, simpler than crypto - Middle-ground option
3. Currency conversion - Some e-wallets have better conversion rates than banks
4. Multiple destinations - Easy to split funds (some to bank, some held in wallet)

Drawbacks:

• Holding limits (PayPal has caps on how much you can hold)
• Additional withdrawal step (e-wallet → bank adds another 2-3 days)
• Not ideal for large amounts (banks are better for $10K+ withdrawals)

My take: E-wallets seem useful in niche scenarios but don't offer compelling advantages over direct bank transfer for US traders. International traders might find them valuable for currency flexibility.

Comparing All Withdrawal Methods

Let me lay out the complete comparison based on real usage:

Decision framework:

• US trader, straightforward situation → ACH
• EU trader → SEPA
• International with banking issues → Crypto (USDT)
• Need money in under 4 hours → Crypto (USDT)
• Already deep in crypto ecosystem → Crypto
• Large withdrawal ($10K+) and want speed → Wire transfer
• Everything else → ACH/SEPA (default to simplicity)

Setting Up Your Preferred Method

For bank transfer:

1. Log into Rise after first payout approval
2. Navigate to "Withdrawal Methods"
3. Select "Bank Account"
4. Enter routing + account number (US) or IBAN (EU)
5. Verify via micro-deposits (Rise sends $0.01-$0.50, you confirm amounts)
6. Takes 1-2 business days for verification
7. Once verified, you can withdraw anytime

My tip: Set this up before you complete your first payout cycle. Don't wait until you're ready to withdraw—you'll add 2 days of delay for verification.

For crypto:

1. Create wallet (I recommend Trust Wallet or MetaMask for beginners, Coinbase for simplicity)
2. Generate receiving address for desired crypto (USDT recommended)
3. Add address to Rise under "Withdrawal Methods"
4. Test with small amount first (withdrawal $50-$100 to confirm everything works)
5. Once comfortable, withdraw full amounts

Critical crypto tip: Triple-check your wallet address. Crypto transactions are irreversible. One wrong character means your money goes to the wrong address and can't be recovered. I screenshot my wallet address and paste rather than typing manually.

Tax Implications of Different Methods

US tax considerations:

Bank transfer:

• Clean 1099 from Rise at year-end
• Straightforward reporting on Schedule C (if trading business) or Schedule D
• All transactions visible, IRS-friendly

Crypto:

• Each crypto transaction is taxable event
• Must report: Rise→wallet (conversion to crypto), wallet→exchange (conversion to USD), any holding period gains
• Requires detailed recordkeeping
• More audit risk if not documented properly

E-wallet:

• Treated like bank transfer for tax purposes
• May need to report foreign accounts (FBAR) if e-wallet is foreign institution

My approach: I use bank transfer partly because my accountant charges $150 base rate for tax prep, or $400 if I have crypto transactions. The $250 upcharge for crypto reporting exceeds any benefit I'd gain from 2-day faster withdrawals.

Recommendation: Talk to your tax professional before choosing crypto payouts if you're not already comfortable with crypto tax reporting. The speed advantage isn't worth complicating your tax situation unless you have good reasons.

Switching Between Methods

Can you change methods between payouts? Yes, absolutely.

I've done this: First 3 payouts via ACH, 4th payout via USDT (testing), 5th and 6th payouts back to ACH.

How to switch:

1. Add new method in Rise (bank account, wallet address, etc.)
2. Verify new method (if required)
3. Select different method on next withdrawal request

No penalties, no questions asked. Rise supports method flexibility.

Strategy some traders use:

• Small payouts ($1,500-$3,000) → Bank transfer (simplicity)
• Large payouts ($10,000+) → Wire transfer or crypto (worth the effort for speed)

International Trader Considerations

If you're outside US/EU:

Banking challenges:

• High fees for international USD transfers (3-7% not uncommon)
• Currency conversion costs
• Slow processing (5-10 days sometimes)
• Banking system restrictions in some countries

Why crypto often wins for international:

For traders in countries with restrictive banking or high fees, receiving USDT and converting locally (through P2P exchanges or local exchanges) often results in:

• Faster access (hours vs. weeks)
• Lower fees (1-2% vs. 5-7%)
• More control

Example: A trader in Vietnam told me his bank charges 5% + $45 fee for incoming international wire transfers. Using USDT, he pays ~$8 network fee + 1% for conversion on local exchange = total 1-1.5% cost. Massive savings.

Example: A Brazilian trader receives USDT, converts to BRL on Mercado Bitcoin (local exchange), withdraws to Brazilian bank in 24 hours. Bank wire would take 7-10 days and cost 4%+ in fees.

My advice for international traders: Try small crypto withdrawal first ($200-$500) to test the process. If it works smoothly, scale up. If you encounter issues or don't like complexity, reassess whether banking route despite fees might be simpler long-term.
