First, you'll need to log in to your Greenlight account via the mobile app or website. From there, you'll navigate to the 'Transfers' section, where you'll verify you have sufficient balance to initiate the transfer. But before you can complete the transfer, you'll need to confirm your bank account is linked to your Greenlight account. That's where things can get a bit tricky.
Setting Up Your Greenlight Account
To transfer money from Greenlight to your bank account, you'll first need to set up your Greenlight account by downloading and installing the Greenlight mobile app on your smartphone.

After completing these steps, you'll have a fully set up Greenlight account, and you'll be ready to start using it to transfer money. The Greenlight app will guide you through each step.
Linking Your Bank Account
