Using ATM for Cash Withdrawal
In addition to transferring funds via the mobile app, you can also access your Emerald Card account cash through an ATM withdrawal. First, you'll need to find an ATM that's part of the Emerald Card network to avoid any possible fees. You can easily locate an in-network ATM using the Emerald Card Mobile Banking app. Once at the ATM, simply follow the on-screen instructions: insert your card, verify your account, select withdraw, enter the amount desired, and confirm. Check your account balance to avoid overdrafts. Carefully review your receipt prior to leaving the ATM location. Finally, secure both your cash and card afterwards.
