Which ATMs can I use?

Free ATM access is available at Allpoint ATMs. The Allpoint Network allows Branch customers surcharge-free access to cash at over 40,000 locations. They're conveniently found in popular retailers — places you already know, love and shop every day. You can find your closest Allpoint ATM here. 

The Branch Card also works at just about any ATM, with over 500,000 ATMs in the United States. Supported networks include Maestro, Cirrus, and Pulse. However, non-Allpoint ATM machines may charge a fee, which will be deducted from your account. Branch does not make any money off of these fees charged by the ATM machine. International ATMs are not supported at this time.

How do I pay a bill using my Branch Wallet?

The most secure way of paying your bills online is to provide your debit card number to your biller. If your biller does not support getting paid via debit card, then you may provide your Branch Wallet account and routing number to them. Note, you should have the capability to pay manually via the biller website or setup auto pay. If your Branch Wallet account doesn't have enough funds to cover the cost of the bill, then we will reject the payment. You will not incur any overdraft charge, however, you will need to pay your biller by some other means.

What if I don't have enough money to pay for an upcoming bill?

If your Branch Wallet account doesn't have enough funds to cover the cost of the bill, then we will reject the payment. You will not incur any overdraft charge, however, you will need to pay your biller by some other means.

How do I get a free instant pay advance?

Instant advances are free when you put the advance on to the Branch Wallet and use your Branch Card. Fees are only charged when moving the money from the Branch Wallet to your linked bank account.
