How to Withdraw From the FOMO App: Bank Account or Crypto Wallet

Before you withdraw: sell to your cash balance first

FOMO pays withdrawals out of your cash balance, not straight out of the tokens you hold. So the first step is to sell the positions you want to turn into money. Once the sale goes through, the proceeds land in your cash balance and are ready to withdraw.

Selling is a trade like any other, so FOMO's trading fee applies and is shown on the quote before you confirm. That's one reason it pays to join with a discount: if you haven't created your account yet, use the FOMO app referral code SMARTUSER at sign-up for 10% off trading fees, or open the referral link fomo.family/r/SMARTUSER so the code is applied for you.

There are two ways to get money out after that: to a bank account or as crypto to a wallet or exchange. Which one you can use depends mainly on where you live and whether you're on the mobile app or the web version.

Bank account or crypto: which withdrawal option should you use?

If you live outside the US, the crypto route is the way out: send USDC to an exchange that accepts it on the same network, then sell it for your local currency and withdraw to your bank from there.

How to withdraw from FOMO to a US bank account

1. Open the FOMO mobile app (bank withdrawals aren't available on the web version).
2. Go to your cash balance and choose Withdraw, then Bank account.
3. Before your first bank withdrawal, complete the identity check with a valid government ID when the app asks for it.
4. Enter your US bank account and routing number and double-check them.
5. Choose a speed if the app offers more than one option, enter the amount and confirm.

FOMO says bank withdrawals arrive within a few business days. Weekends and US bank holidays don't count, so a withdrawal you start on a Friday afternoon may only show up the following week. If you need the money by a specific date, start early.

If a faster option is offered, the app shows what it costs before you confirm. Check that screen rather than relying on numbers you read elsewhere, because fees and limits can change.

How to withdraw USDC to a crypto wallet or exchange

A crypto withdrawal sends USDC from your FOMO cash balance to an address you provide. It works in the app and on the web, which makes it the main option outside the US.

1. On the receiving side (your exchange or wallet), open Deposit or Receive, choose USDC and pick a network FOMO also supports, such as Solana or Base.
2. Copy the deposit address for that exact network.
3. In FOMO, open Withdraw and choose Crypto.
4. Enter the amount, then select the same network as the address you copied.
5. Paste the address and compare the first and last few characters with the original.
6. Review the details, including any fee or minimum shown, and confirm.

FOMO supports several networks for deposits and withdrawals. On most of them you send USDC; on Robinhood Chain the asset is USDG instead, so only pick that network if the receiving exchange accepts USDG there. When in doubt, use a network your exchange clearly lists for USDC.

Mistakes that can cost you your withdrawal

Blockchain transfers can't be reversed. Once a withdrawal confirms, FOMO can't pull it back, so these are the errors worth avoiding:

• Network mismatch: sending on one network to an address that was issued for another can leave funds stuck or lost.
• Finance app addresses: FOMO warns that it can't withdraw to apps like PayPal, Venmo, Robinhood or Wealthsimple, and funds sent to their addresses are lost. Withdraw to your bank or an exchange first, then move money into those apps.
• Typing addresses by hand: always copy and paste, then check the start and end of the address.
• Sending a large amount to a new address first: do a small test withdrawal when you use a wallet or exchange for the first time.

My FOMO withdrawal hasn't arrived. What now?

• Bank withdrawal: check whether business days have passed yet, and confirm the bank details you entered. If it's later than expected, contact FOMO support from inside the app.
• Crypto withdrawal: find the transaction hash in your FOMO history and look it up in the block explorer for that network. If it reached the exchange's address, the exchange's support is the one to ask, and they'll want that transaction hash.
• Nothing in your cash balance to withdraw: make sure the sell order actually filled. Tokens you still hold aren't part of the cash balance.

Keep more of what you withdraw

Every sell before a withdrawal carries a trading fee, so lowering that fee means more money reaches your bank or wallet. New users who sign up with referral code SMARTUSER get 10% off trading fees.
