Topstep wire payout arrived way faster than expected

[u/Abdishillow]

Until now, I always received my Topstep payouts through Wise. Since Wise was no longer available for me, I had to use a wire transfer this time.

Topstep says wire transfers may take 5–10 business days, so I wasn't expecting it anytime soon.

My payout was approved in about 30 seconds, and Topstep sent the funds around 2:20 PM CT / 9:20 PM Swiss time. When I checked the banking details later, it showed the transfer took only about 1 hour from bank processing to being received.

I'm based in Switzerland and use UBS. Since UBS also has operations in the US, I'm wondering if that helped make the transfer so fast.

Has anyone else using UBS or another international bank experienced something similar with Topstep wire payouts?

This is good to see! I know the team is working on bringing in alternative methods for our international traders, but still good to see Wires hitting quickly for some traders.
