Conclusion
Once you’ve transferred Ethers to your Kraken account, it may take several minutes for them to appear. The processing time depends on network traffic. If the transaction is successful, you will see the status as “Confirmed.” After the blockchain verification process, the transaction will be concluded in the blockchain which usually takes 15-30 minutes but may take longer. We suggest testing the process with a small amount first to gain confidence before proceeding with the final transaction. Once your ether is received at your exchange, you can withdraw it to your bank account in the currency of your choice!
