Money Network card to Chase bank transfer time? Can it be done in person?
I just got my first EDD payment loaded onto my Money Network card (finally!!) and I'm trying to figure out the best way to get the funds into my Chase checking account. Has anyone transferred money from their EDD Money Network card to Chase specifically? My main questions: 1. How many days did the transfer take to show up in your Chase account? 2. Can I walk into a Chase branch with my Money Network card to do an in-person transfer? Or do I need to go to a branch that specifically works with Money Network? I've got rent due in 5 days and I'm stressing about whether the money will clear in time. Any advice would be super appreciated!

I transfer my EDD Money Network payments to my Chase account every two weeks. Here's what you need to know: 1. Electronic transfers typically take 2-3 business days to appear in your Chase account. It's never taken more than 3 days for me. 2. You CANNOT go to Chase to transfer the funds directly. You have two options: - Set up direct transfer through the Money Network mobile app or website - Use the Money Network ATM card to withdraw cash (daily limits apply) and deposit that cash into your Chase account For the fastest option, log into your Money Network account online, link your Chase account (you'll need your routing and account numbers), and initiate the transfer ASAP. If you start today, you should have the funds before rent is due.

•Thank you so much for the detailed info! I'll set up the transfer online today. Do you know if weekends count as business days or will that add extra time to the transfer?

I just went through this last month! The transfer from my Money Network card to Chase took exactly 2 business days. I set it up on a Tuesday morning and the money was in my Chase account by Thursday afternoon. BUT - and this is important - you have to set up the transfer through the Money Network portal. Chase can't pull the money for you, and you can't walk into a bank branch to do this. It has to be initiated from the Money Network side. Also make sure you verify your Chase account first (they'll make two small deposits you need to confirm) which can add an extra day or two to the process.

Don't waste ur time going to Chase!!! I tried this exsact thing in January and the Chase people looked at me like I was crazy. they said they cant touch the Money Network card and I had to do everyting through the Money Network app. ended up taking 4 whole days to get my $$ wich really sucked because my landlord was already on my case. my advice is to do it ASAP and maybe take out some cash from an ATM just in case the transfer is slow. the ATM fee sucks but atleast youll have some cash on hand for rent.

•Ugh, that's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the heads up about Chase not being able to help. I'll definitely start the transfer today and maybe take out some cash as backup.

Have you considered using Claimyr to speed up getting through to an EDD agent? I was having issues with my Money Network card not showing my correct balance and couldn't get through on the regular line. Used claimyr.com and got connected to an agent in about 20 minutes who fixed everything. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km Might be helpful if you run into any issues with your card or transfers.

•That's for contacting EDD, not Money Network. The transfer question is about Money Network to Chase, so Claimyr wouldn't help with that specific issue. Money Network has its own customer service department separate from EDD.

when I got my money netwrok card last yr I thought I could just go to BofA to get the money since EDD used to use BofA but they changed to money Network in like 2025 i think??? anyway dont go to any bank to do it because you CANT

•Exactly right. EDD switched from Bank of America to Money Network as their payment provider in January 2025. One of the downsides is that you can no longer walk into a bank branch to manage your unemployment funds directly. Everything has to be done through the Money Network app or website now.

I've done this!!! So the money network online transfer to Chase takes 2-3 days FOR SURE. But here's a trick - if you need cash immediately, you can go to ANY ATM that takes Visa and withdraw up to $500 per day from your Money Network card. It has a $3.00 fee at non-Money Network ATMs but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Then just deposit the cash at Chase.

•That's really smart! I might do that for at least part of the rent money just to be safe. Thank you!!

I see some confusion in this thread. To clarify: 1. Money Network is the current EDD payment provider (they replaced Bank of America in 2025) 2. You cannot transfer funds in-person at any bank branch - it must be done electronically 3. Standard transfer time to any bank (including Chase) is 2-3 business days 4. Weekends and holidays do NOT count as business days for these transfers 5. You must set up the transfer from the Money Network side, not from Chase If you need funds faster than the standard transfer time, the ATM withdrawal method others mentioned is your best option, despite the fees.

•Thanks for laying it out so clearly! I've set up my transfer online and will also grab some cash from the ATM as backup. Really appreciate everyone's help!
