What happens if I have a balance in the USD account?

We have started processing withdrawals from the balances of Utoppia accounts in USD. Since it is a manual process and done in batches, the transfers will be processed in the coming days. We will inform you as soon as the bank has processed your withdrawal.

To be able to make the withdrawal, you need to complete the information as soon as possible. To do this, please log in to the Utoppia app. A banner will appear and you will need to complete the following information:

  • Full name of the recipient
  • Account number
  • Bank name (Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc.)
  • Account type (checking/savings)
  • Routing number

Please note that the withdrawal will be processed through regular ACH, so the crediting period may be 3 to 5 business days.

  2. Once the account you are withdrawing to is approved, you can initiate the transfer. It will be a Standard ACH, which takes 3 to 5 business days to complete and has a fee of $0.25.
