how to transfer money from apple pay to bank
To transfer money from Apple Pay (Apple Cash) to your bank, you use the Wallet app, choose your Apple Cash card, and then select the transfer option to your bank account or debit card.
Quick Scoop
- You can move Apple Cash to a bank with either a standard transfer (1–3 business days, no fee) or an instant transfer (usually within 30 minutes, with a small fee).
- Transfers are done inside the Wallet app on iPhone (or in Settings on iPad) and require a linked bank account or eligible debit card.
Step‑by‑step on iPhone
- Open the Wallet app.
- Tap your Apple Cash card.
- Tap the three dots (…) in the top‑right and choose Transfer to Bank (or Transfer to Bank Account).
- Enter the amount you want to send, then tap Next.
- Choose Instant Transfer (to a debit card) or 1–3 Business Days (to a bank account).
- Pick the card/account, then confirm with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode.
Apple notes that instant transfers usually arrive right away but can take up to 30 minutes, while standard transfers should arrive within 1–3 business days.
Linking your bank or card
If you do not see your bank or debit card as an option:
- For instant transfer , add an eligible Visa or Mastercard debit card when prompted in the transfer flow.
- For standard transfer , tap Add a Bank Account , then enter your routing and account numbers and confirm them.
These details are saved so future transfers are just a few taps.
