How long does it take for trades to settle?

SIX operates on a T+2 settlement timeframe, or in simpler terms Trade date plus 2 business days for your buy or sell orders to settle.
​
When you trade with SIX you should always receive a contract note confirmation from our trading partner FinClear to your email which will note the settlement date and the details of the order.
​
You can also see the status of your order by logging into your SIX account and navigating to Portfolio> Orders. This will tell you what stage your order is in (eg. In Market, Complete, Failed).
​
If you are selling shares, any funds from the sale will usually take 2 business days to be returned to your wallet. After this you can either withdraw from your wallet to your bank account or invest in something else on the app.
