With Apple Cash, you can transfer money to your bank or debit card instantly. This feature is available 24/7, making it a convenient option for when you need cash quickly.
To initiate an instant transfer, you'll need to have a debit card or bank account linked to your Apple Cash account.
You can link your debit card or bank account by going to the Wallet app and selecting Apple Cash. From there, you can add a new payment method and follow the prompts to complete the process.
Once your account is linked, you can transfer money instantly by going to the Apple Cash app, selecting the amount you want to transfer, and choosing your linked debit card or bank account as the recipient.
How to Transfer Apple Cash
To transfer Apple Cash, you'll need an eligible debit card in the Wallet app. Make sure your iPhone or iPad has the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
There are two transfer options: standard bank transfer and Instant Transfer. Standard bank transfers are free, but take one to three business days. Instant Transfers usually reflect on eligible Mastercard or Visa debit cards in real-time, but come with a 1.5 percent fee.
To initiate a transfer, open the Wallet app on your iPhone and select your Apple Cash card. Tap the More button, then tap Transfer to Bank. Enter the amount you want to transfer and choose Next.
If you choose Instant Transfer, select an eligible card and confirm the decision by double-clicking your iPhone's side button and entering your Apple ID passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID.
Here are the steps to transfer Apple Cash to a bank account:
- Open the Wallet App on your iPhone.
- Select your Apple Cash card.
- Tap the horizontal ellipsis icon (…) to see more options.
- Now, tap Transfer to Bank.
- Enter the amount you want to transfer and choose Next.
- From here either select 1-3 Business Days or Instant Transfer.
Instant Transfers can put money in your account within 30 minutes, but be aware that there's a 1.5% fee, subject to a $0.25 minimum and a $15 maximum.
Eligibility and Limits
You can transfer up to $10,000 per transfer and up to $20,000 within a seven-day period from Apple Cash to your bank account. This is a significant limit, and I've personally seen it come in handy for large transactions.
The money you transfer from Apple Cash to your bank account is free, unless you use Instant Transfer to send money to your debit card. In that case, you'll pay a fee of 1% of the transfer balance, with a minimum fee of $0.25, and a maximum fee of $15.
Here are the key transfer limits to keep in mind:
About Limits
You can transfer up to $10,000 per transfer and up to $20,000 within a seven-day period from Apple Cash to your bank account.
There are transfer limits to keep in mind: you can only transfer money to a bank account in the United States, and there are no fees to transfer money from Apple Cash to your bank account unless you use Instant Transfer to send money to your debit card.
You can transfer a minimum of $1 to your debit card or bank account, or your full balance if it's under $1. This means you can't transfer less than $1, but you can transfer your entire balance if it's small.

Here are the maximum transfer limits: you can transfer a maximum of $2,000 to your debit card or bank account in a single transfer, and within a 7-day period, you can transfer a maximum of $4,000 to your debit card or bank account.
Note that Instant Transfer has its own set of limits, including a 1% fee (1.5% starting Aug. 26) of the transfer balance, with a minimum fee of $0.25, and a maximum fee of $15.
