Moving money from EDD Money Network card to bank account - transfer time?

Yes you can transfer money from your EDD card to your bank account! I do it for every payment. Just go to the Money Network website (moneynetwork.com) or download their app, create an account if you haven't already, and set up your bank info. You need your routing number and account number. The first transfer can take 3-5 business days because they're verifying your account. After that, transfers typically take 1-2 business days in my experience. Much better than paying those ATM fees!

Its totally depends on ur bank!!! My BofA takes 2 days EXACTLY but my friends credit union took like 4 days and he was freaking out thinkin the $ got lost lol. just do it early don't wait till last day to pay rent

I work at a financial services company, so let me clarify how these transfers work: 1. Log into your Money Network account (create one if you haven't) 2. Go to "Transfer Funds" or similar option 3. Enter your bank's routing number and your account number 4. Specify the amount to transfer Important timing details: - First-time transfers require bank verification which can take 1-3 additional business days - Standard transfers typically process in 1-3 business days - Transfers initiated after 4pm PT or on weekends/holidays start processing the next business day - There's typically a daily transfer limit of $5,000 and monthly limit of $10,000 If your landlord needs payment immediately, you might want to use the card directly or withdraw cash from an in-network ATM (check the app for fee-free ATMs).

when I had my EDD card I just took all the money out at once from an ATM so I didn't have to deal with transfers and waiting. find a bank ATM on the list of fee-free ones and you can usually take out $1000 per day. easier than messing with transfers IMO

I gave up trying to transfer from my EDD card because it was so frustrating. I spent HOURS trying to get through to someone at Money Network because my transfers kept failing. Their customer service is as bad as EDD's - always busy signals or disconnections. After wasting days trying to reach someone, I found Claimyr (claimyr.com) which got me through to an actual person at EDD who helped fix my card issues. They have this system that gets you past the busy signals - check out their demo video: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km Money Network finally fixed whatever was blocking my transfers, and now they go through in about 2 business days consistently. The service was worth it to stop the headache.

Another option is setting up direct deposit for future payments so they go straight to your bank account without the card middleman. You can change this in your UI Online account under "Payment Preferences." Won't help for money already on your card, but makes things easier going forward. For your current funds, bank transfers from Money Network typically take 2-3 business days in my experience, but I've seen some take up to 5 days depending on when you initiate the transfer and your bank's processing times.

Just a heads up - I tried to transfer my entire EDD balance ($5,400) at once and got an error message saying I exceeded the daily limit. Had to do two separate transfers. Also make sure the name on your bank account EXACTLY matches your EDD claim name or they might reject the transfer. I had to deal with that headache because my bank account has my middle initial and my EDD claim didn't.

I've been through this exact situation! For your immediate rent payment, I'd recommend withdrawing cash from a fee-free ATM since you need it ASAP. You can find the ATM locator in the Money Network app or website - there are usually plenty of options at major banks and some grocery stores. For the bank transfer setup, it's pretty straightforward but definitely takes time. The first transfer will likely take 3-5 business days because they verify your account with small test deposits. After that initial setup, regular transfers are usually 1-2 business days. One thing I learned the hard way - make sure you initiate transfers before 4pm Pacific time on business days, otherwise it doesn't start processing until the next day. And definitely switch to direct deposit for future payments like Emma mentioned - it'll save you all this hassle going forward! Since your landlord is already impatient, I'd grab the cash today and set up the bank transfer for next time. Good luck!

I just went through this same process last month! Here's what worked for me: For immediate needs like rent, definitely go the ATM route first. Use the Money Network app to find fee-free ATMs near you - I found several at CVS and Walgreens that didn't charge extra fees. You can typically withdraw up to $1000 per day. For the bank transfer setup, log into moneynetwork.com and add your bank account info. The first transfer does take longer (3-5 business days) because they need to verify your account, but it's worth setting up for future payments. After verification, transfers usually take 1-2 business days. Pro tip: While you're dealing with this payment, definitely switch to direct deposit in your UI Online account for future payments. Go to "Payment Method" and change it from the EDD card to direct deposit to your bank. This way you won't have to deal with the card transfer delays again. Also make sure the name on your bank account matches exactly what's on your EDD claim - even middle initials matter or the transfer could get rejected. Hope this helps and congrats on finally getting your payment!

I went through this exact same situation a few months ago! Here's what I learned: For your immediate rent situation, definitely go the ATM route since you need cash ASAP. Use the Money Network app to find fee-free ATMs - there are tons at major banks like Chase, BofA, and Wells Fargo. You can withdraw up to $1000/day at most ATMs. For bank transfers, yes you can do them through the Money Network website or app. You'll need your routing and account numbers. The catch is that the FIRST transfer takes 3-5 business days because they verify your account with micro-deposits. After that verification, regular transfers are much faster - usually 1-2 business days. Since your landlord is already impatient, I'd suggest: 1. Get cash from a fee-free ATM today for rent 2. Set up the bank transfer now so it's ready for your next payment 3. Switch to direct deposit in your UI Online account under "Payment Method" so future payments go straight to your bank One important note - make sure the name on your bank account matches EXACTLY what's on your EDD claim (including middle initials) or the transfer might get rejected. The waiting sucks but you're almost there! Good luck with your landlord!
