# Withdrawing your funds from PayPal

After you receive your reward in PayPal, you can withdraw your funds in a number of ways.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Dscout cannot pay you directly using these methods. We send your payment to PayPal first. Then you can use one of these methods to receive your reward.
{% endhint %}

## Bank transfer

You can transfer the rewards you made from Dscout missions directly into your bank account, which is by far the easiest and most common way to retrieve your funds. To transfer your funds to a bank account, follow the steps below:

1. Log into your PayPal account.
2. On your **Summary** page, click the **Transfer Money button** right under your PayPal balance.
3. Click on **Transfer to your bank**.
4. Choose the **Bank account** you wish to transfer to and click **Next**.
5. Choose the amount you wish to transfer and click **Next.**
6. Review your transfer and click the blue **Transfer Now** button to finalize the transfer.

PayPal securely transfers the amount from your PayPal balance into your selected bank account at no extra cost to you.

**Pro tip**: The minimum you can withdraw from your account is $1.00 USD. Estimated arrival time for bank transfers is 1 business day.

## Eligible debit & prepaid cards

You can also withdraw your funds from PayPal using an eligible debit or prepaid card. This is the fastest way to withdraw your money from your PayPal account. To transfer your funds to a bank account, follow the steps below:

1. Log into your PayPal account.
2. On your **Summary** page, click the **Transfer Money button** right under your PayPal balance.
3. Click on **Transfer to your bank**.
4. Choose the debit or prepaid card you wish to transfer with and click **Next**.
5. Choose the amount you wish to transfer and click **Next**.
6. Review your transfer and click the blue **Transfer Now** button to finalize the transfer.

**Pro tip**: There is a small fee for this service (1% fee or $10.00 maximum). However, estimated arrival time for instant card transfers is roughly 30 minutes.

## Check

You can also withdraw your money from PayPal in the form of a check. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Log into your PayPal account.
2. On your **Summary** page, click the **Transfer Money button** right under your PayPal balance.
3. Click on **Transfer to your bank**.
4. Click on the **Request a check by mail instead** **button** on the bottom of the page.
5. Enter the amount you wish to withdraw and the mailing address that PayPal should send the check to and click **Continue**.
6. Review your request and click **Submit** to finalize the transaction.

**Pro tip**: Requesting your funds by check will be the slowest way to receive your reward from PayPal.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://participanthelp.dscout.com/getting-paid/getting-paid-via-paypal/withdrawing-your-funds-from-paypal.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
