How to get Cash using the Cash Back Feature

Another option for getting cash on your Direct Express Card (outside of Direct Express Free ATMs) without paying any fees or surcharges is by obtaining cash at a retailer location.

Many retailers will provide cash back with your purchase at the point-of-sale terminal.

Ask your retailer if they provide this service as a convenient way to obtain cash.

Most grocery stores and pharmacies provide this service.

Using ATMs that Charge a Fee

If you are unable to locate a free Direct Express ATM, you can always use an ATM that charges a fee.

However, when you use an ATM that charges a fee, you will always be given the option to cancel the transaction to avoid the fee.

You should therefore always read instructions on ATMs very carefully before you complete a transaction to make sure you understand all the charges.
