You can't withdraw to cash or to a payment app directly. Depop pays out to a bank account in your name, or to an eligible debit card for instant payouts. If you don't have a traditional bank, the usual fix is to open a free online or app-based account that gives you account and routing details and a debit card. Under 18? A youth account with a parent or guardian works. You can also spend your balance on Depop without withdrawing it at all.
Why Depop needs a bank account
Depop has to verify who it's paying and send the money somewhere regulated. That's why payouts go to a bank account or debit card, not to cash, gift cards or a wallet like Apple Pay. See Depop payout methods for the full list.
Option 1: Open a free online account
Many online banks and finance apps give you a real account with account and routing numbers plus a debit card, often with no monthly fee. Once it's open, add it to Depop like any other bank account. See how to transfer your Depop balance to your bank account.
Some sellers use the account details from apps like Cash App. Whether that works depends on Depop accepting the details, so test it with a small transfer first. See can you withdraw Depop money to Apple Pay or Cash App.
Option 2: A youth account if you're under 18
Sellers under 18 need a parent or guardian to complete payout verification, and the account must be one they can access, such as a youth or joint account. See how to get paid on Depop under 18.
Option 3: Spend your balance on Depop
If you mostly buy on Depop anyway, you may not need to withdraw. In some regions you can use your balance at checkout. See can you use your Depop balance to buy items on Depop.
What to avoid
- Someone else's account without permission or verification. Depop expects the details to match the verified account holder. Mismatched names can cause declined or delayed payouts.
- Prepaid gift cards. They're usually not accepted for payouts.
- Anyone offering to "cash out" your balance. Moving money outside Depop is a common scam. See common Depop scams.
