How to Cash Out USDC to Your Bank

You were paid in USDC — a digital dollar. Bridge.xyz turns it into US dollars in your checking account. Four steps; the first three are a one-time setup.

Works for crew, talent, vendors and anyone else paid through an IPX wallet.
Open my crew wallet Not crew? Open the Bridge hub
Paid by CultureX or IPX?
Bridge Bank Rails is complimentary for 30 days from each payment — it is switched on automatically when the money lands, so you will not see a trial or a card form. Just press Start KYC.

Have this ready

Legal name, date of birth and home address
SSN (US) or passport / national ID (outside the US)
Your government ID and a phone or webcam for a selfie
A checking account in your name — routing + account number, or your online banking login for Plaid

The four steps

Everything happens inside your IPX wallet. Crew: open Crew OS → Wallet → Cash Out. The highlighted button in each picture is the one to press.

Questions crew ask

What exactly did I receive?

USDC — a digital dollar that is always worth $1. It sits in your IPX wallet on the Base network. Cashing out converts it 1:1 into US dollars in your bank through Bridge.xyz, a licensed payments provider.

Why do I have to verify my identity?

Banks and payments regulations require Bridge to know who it is paying. It is a one-time check (KYC) tied to your IPX account. Once approved, every future payout is just a send.

Does Bridge cost anything?

Bridge Bank Rails is an IPX add-on at $9.99/month with a free trial. If you were paid by CultureX or IPX on a project, your account is complimentary for 30 days from each payment — it is added automatically when the payment lands. Nothing to buy, no card to enter.

How long until the money is in my bank?

ACH payouts usually arrive in 1–2 business days. Wire payouts arrive the same business day when sent before the bank cut-off. Weekends and bank holidays do not count.

My verification says "action required" or "rejected".

Open the wallet and press Continue verification — Bridge lists exactly what it still needs (a clearer ID photo, proof of address, a legal name that matches your bank). Press Refresh status after you finish. Still stuck? Email support@ipx.exchange.

Can I use Coinbase instead?

Yes. The wallet also has a Coinbase cash-out panel. Bridge is the direct-to-bank path and is what this guide covers.
