How do I withdraw money by check and how long will it take?

Here's how to request a check (timeframe is 5-10 business days): 

  1. Go to Wallet.
  2. Click Transfer Money.
  3. Click Request a check by mail (fee applies).
  4. Enter the amount you want to transfer (the minimum is $1.51 USD).
  5. Click Next.
  6. Review your transfer details, then click Request (amount) Now.
  7. Click Done.




There’s a $1.50 USD fee for each check withdrawal. 

After you’ve requested a withdrawal, you can’t cancel it.

The minimum you can withdraw by check is $1.51 USD.

You can cash or deposit your check. If you don't deposit your check within 180 days of the date it’s issued, we'll return the money to your balance. We won’t refund the withdrawal fee.
