You can transfer your Depop balance to a linked bank account through the app's payout settings, but the money goes to your Depop-connected payment account first—usually PayPal or Stripe—before reaching your bank.

Depop holds seller earnings in your Depop balance until you request a payout. The app does not send money directly to your bank. Instead, it transfers your balance to whichever payment processor you connected during signup (PayPal or Stripe in most cases), and that processor then moves the money to your bank account on its own schedule. The full process typically takes 3 to 5 business days from the moment you request the payout, though the final bank deposit depends on your bank's processing speed.

You cannot change where Depop sends payouts after you have linked an account. If you want money to go to a different bank, you will need to move it from your current payment processor to the new bank yourself, or contact Depop support to request a change to your payout method.

Key Takeaways

  • Depop payouts go to PayPal or Stripe first, not directly to your bank, so you need a linked account with one of those services.
  • You request a payout in the Depop app under Payments or Wallet settings, and the balance transfers within 1 to 2 business days.
  • Your bank receives the deposit 1 to 3 business days after Depop sends it to your payment processor, depending on your bank's speed.
  • Depop holds a minimum balance before allowing payouts—currently $2.00 or higher depending on your region—so small sales may not trigger an immediate transfer.
  • If a payout fails or is delayed, check that your payment processor account is verified and your bank details are current.

How to request a payout in the Depop app

Open the Depop app and tap your profile icon in the bottom right corner. Select Payments or Wallet (the label varies by app version). You will see your current balance displayed at the top. If the balance meets the minimum payout threshold, a button labeled Withdraw, Cash Out, or Request Payout will be active. Tap it.

The app will show you the payment account where the money will land—usually your PayPal or Stripe account name. Confirm the amount you want to transfer (you can request a partial payout or the full balance) and tap to confirm. Depop will send a confirmation message to your email. The balance should leave your Depop account within 1 to 2 business days.

If the button is grayed out, your balance is below the minimum threshold or your payment processor account is not verified. Check your PayPal or Stripe account to ensure it is active and linked to a valid bank account.

What happens after Depop sends the money

Once Depop transfers your balance to PayPal or Stripe, the money is no longer in Depop's control. PayPal typically deposits funds to your bank account within 1 to 3 business days, depending on your bank. Stripe payouts usually arrive within 2 to 5 business days. Your bank may take an additional 1 to 2 business days to post the deposit, so the full timeline from payout request to bank deposit can stretch to a week.

You can track the transfer in your PayPal or Stripe account. Log in to whichever service you use, go to your transaction history, and look for a deposit from Depop. The transaction will show the date it was sent and, once your bank processes it, the date it arrived. If you do not see the transfer in your payment processor account within 2 business days of requesting the payout, contact Depop support.

Minimum balance and payout holds

Depop does not allow payouts below a certain threshold. The minimum is typically $2.00 in the United States, though this varies by region and may change. If your balance is below the minimum, you cannot request a payout until you make another sale or receive a refund that pushes your balance higher.

Depop may also hold payouts if your account is new, if you have had chargebacks or disputes, or if the app detects unusual activity. These holds usually last 14 to 30 days. You will see a message in the Payments section explaining the hold and when it will lift. If you believe a hold is an error, contact Depop support with details about your account.

Troubleshooting a failed or delayed payout

If your payout request disappeared or the money did not arrive in your payment processor account after 2 business days, first check your email for a failure notice from Depop. Common reasons for failed payouts include an unverified payment processor account, an expired or invalid bank account linked to PayPal or Stripe, or a mismatch between the name on your Depop account and your payment processor.

Log into your PayPal or Stripe account and verify that your bank account is still active and the routing and account numbers are correct. If you recently changed banks, update your bank details in your payment processor before requesting a new payout. Then return to Depop and request the payout again.

If the payout still fails, or if you see the money in your payment processor but it has not reached your bank after 5 business days, contact your bank's customer service. Provide them with the transaction reference number from your PayPal or Stripe account. Your bank can trace the deposit and tell you whether it is pending or if there is a problem on their end.

Changing your payout method

If you want payouts to go to a different bank account, you have two options. The easiest is to update your bank account details in your PayPal or Stripe account directly. Log into whichever service you use, go to your bank or payment settings, and change the linked account. Future Depop payouts will go to the new bank.

If you want to switch from PayPal to Stripe or vice versa, you will need to contact Depop support. The app does not allow you to change your primary payment processor yourself. Depop support can disconnect your current processor and link a new one, but this process can take several days. In the meantime, request any pending payouts to your current account so the money does not get stuck.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get money from Depop to my bank?

Depop transfers your balance to PayPal or Stripe within 1 to 2 business days. Your payment processor then sends it to your bank in 1 to 3 business days (PayPal) or 2 to 5 business days (Stripe). Your bank may take another 1 to 2 business days to post the deposit. Total time is usually 3 to 7 business days from the moment you request the payout.

Can I transfer my Depop balance to a different bank than the one linked to PayPal?

No. Depop only sends money to the bank account you have linked in your PayPal or Stripe account. If you want the money to go to a different bank, you must update your bank details in your payment processor first, or transfer the money from your payment processor to another bank yourself after it arrives.

What if I do not have a PayPal or Stripe account?

You cannot use Depop without linking one of these payment processors during signup. If you skipped this step, go to your Depop Payments settings and add a payment method now. You will need to create a PayPal or Stripe account and link a valid bank account to it before you can request a payout.

Why is my payout button grayed out?

Your balance is likely below the minimum payout threshold (usually $2.00), or your payment processor account is not verified. Check your PayPal or Stripe account to confirm it is active and linked to a valid bank account. If it is, wait for another sale to push your Depop balance above the minimum.

Can I cancel a payout after I request it?

Once Depop processes your payout request, you cannot cancel it. The money will transfer to your payment processor and then to your bank. If you need to reverse the transaction, contact your bank or payment processor, but reversals are not may provide and may take weeks.
