Apple Cash is rising in popularity as Apple pushes integration into more and more of its own services. However, since Apple Cash is newer than traditional money, it is not always as reliable in terms of stores accepting it, as they would via traditional tender.

If you've just received some Apple Cash, and are wondering whether you can turn it into actual cash, then follow these simple steps.

The Different Ways to Transfer Apple Cash to Your Bank

There are two options for transferring Apple Cash to a bank, and both are incredibly quick to do.

Using your Apple Cash card, you can transfer money as a bank transfer to have the funds sent within three days.

Alternatively, you can use Instant Transfer with an eligible Visa debit card to send the money within 30 minutes.
