2. Choose Transfer to Bank from the menu.

   

3. Tap the Link Bank Account button.

5. Enter your login credentials.

   If your bank does not appear, choose Other at the bottom. If you choose this option, you will need to add your routing number, and account number.

6. Verify your bank account.
   • Some banks are approved for instant verification. If your bank qualifies, simply enter your bank credentials and it will verify your account.
