Is it just me, or does that seem a bit dodgy? This is my first withdrawal from any BO broker, so I'm not sure whether wire transfer would be standard practice, but that email looks somewhat "scammy".
Appreciate any advice, thanks.
P.S. I changed the amount for the craic. I am not fortunate enough to have that much in my account.

...but as Beckz says, they can't make a payment to themselves with those details anyway.
EDIT: Because I'm still paranoid, I'll use an account with no money in it, and not my main account where I'm currently saving for a deposit on a house purchase!
FWIW, my experience with CherryTrade has been pretty good on the whole, but the minimum stake of £25 has always been a bit off-putting as I'm still a beginner, so I get nervous about staking that much on a trade!
Glad the withdrawal worked. It's great when you can just focus on trading and not worry about things that should just "work"!
