Transferring money from Dasher Direct to your bank account isn’t complicated like most processes. I will show you how to transfer money from Dasher Direct to a bank account in this article.
Steps to transfer money from Dasher Direct to a bank account
You can easily transfer money from Dasher Direct to your bank account. In this case, you can also transfer the money to your friend or relative’s account. DasherDirect gives you many benefits, and it’s super easy to transfer money to other accounts.
You can transfer money from Dasher Direct to your bank account this way:
- Open the DasherDirect app on your smartphone to start the transferring process to any U.S. bank account. You will see the “Move Money” option on the home screen. Tap on it.
- You can enter the recipient’s name and the amount to transfer if the recipient is in your list of previously used accounts.
- To transfer money for the first time, tap “Recipient,” then “Add,” and enter the recipient’s bank info. Please fill out the form, including the recipient’s bank account, routing number, and the amount you want to transfer.
- Confirm you’re transferring money from Dasher Direct to your bank account.
It should take 1-2 business days for the recipient to get the money. You can find out more about business days in the tooltip.

How long does it take to transfer Money from a Dasher Direct to bank account
There is no instant transfer system from the Dasher Direct card to your Bank account. Money usually transfers from DasherDirect to your bank in 1-2 business days. But remember that if you attempt the transfer on the weekend, the bank won’t process the transfer until Monday. Transferring money is free. Don’t forget you can’t stop a transaction once it’s started. If you transfer the money before midnight Eastern Time, it’ll be there the next business day.
Dasher Direct Transfer Limits
Dasher Direct lets you transfer funds to anyone in the country free of charge but has a limit to the amount you can transfer. Transferring money from your Dasher Direct card has the following limits:
- $2000 per day and a maximum of 3 transfers per day (a day is a 24-hour period)
- Monthly $5,000, and a maximum of 30 transfers per month (a month is any 30 days).
Transfers go the next business day if you send them before midnight Eastern Time.
Check Dasher Direct Transfer Status
When you submit a transfer, Dasher Direct will give you a confirmation number, and when it’s accepted, you’ll get a push notification on your phone. You can check the status on the DasherDirect app on your smartphone.
How to Cancel a Dasher Direct Pending TransferÂ
I am afraid to say that once you confirm a fund transfer from your Dasher Direct to your bank account, you cannot cancel it. It’s because Dasher Direct starts processing the fund transfer, and there is no way back.

ATMs and withdrawals
If you don’t know where the ATM is, you’ll need to use your DasherDirect app. The DasherDirect app can locate nearby free or low-fee Allpoint ATMs ($2.50) if you let it get your location. It’s just a matter of tapping ‘Find an ATM Near You’ under ‘Quick Services’ on the DasherDirect app.
You can withdraw money from any ATM that accepts Visa. Some ATMs charge a surcharge on withdrawals. When the ATM asks what type of account you have, choose “Checking.” You need to insert your card and enter your PIN correctly to withdraw money. Be sure you keep your receipt before leaving the ATM.

You should contact the ATM operator immediately if you don’t get the correct amount of cash.
