  • 1. Common Reasons for Delayed Deposits & Withdrawals**
  • For Deposits:**
  • Pending Blockchain Confirmations** – Kraken needs a certain number of confirmations before they add your deposit.
  • Wrong Deposit Address or Memo** – Mistakes in wallet addresses or missing memos (like for XRP or XLM) can lead to delays or lost funds.
  • Network Congestion** – Heavy traffic on the blockchain, like with Ethereum, can slow things down.
  • Kraken Processing Delays** – Sometimes Kraken's systems might have short delays.
  • Minimum Deposit Not Met** – Some assets require you to deposit a minimum amount.
  • For Withdrawals:**
  • Security Review** – Big withdrawals might be held temporarily for checks.
  • Insufficient Funds** – Make sure that fees or holds haven’t dropped your available balance.
  • Wrong Withdrawal Address** – Sending to an incorrect wallet can mean losing funds.
  • Email Confirmation Needed** – Some withdrawals need you to confirm via email.
  • 2. How to Check Your Transaction Status**
  • Step 1: Verify on the Blockchain**
  • For crypto deposits/withdrawals:**
  • Find your **Transaction ID (TXID)** in Kraken’s **Funding History**.
  • Look it up on a blockchain explorer:
  • Bitcoin: [Blockchair]
  • Ethereum: [Etherscan]
  • XRP: [XRPScan]
  • For fiat deposits/withdrawals:**
  • Check **Funding → History** for status updates.
  • Bank transfers might take **1-5 business days**.
  • Step 2: Check Kraken’s Status Page**
  • Visit **[Kraken Status](https://status.kraken.com/)** to see if there are any known issues.
  • Step 3: Review Kraken’s Confirmation Requirements**

Different cryptocurrencies need different confirmations before deposits show up:

|-------------------|------------------------|--------------|

| Ethereum (ETH) | 12 | ~5-20 min |
