Deposit cash by putting it through the Laundering Desk at your base after opening a bank account. It is a timed process rather than an instant transfer at an ATM. Once processing turns the cash into bank funds, those funds are protected from theft until the next wipe.
Prepare the cash deposit
You need an open bank account and access to the Laundering Desk at your base. If the account does not exist yet, visit Looty Bay Bank as a Civilian first. Then return to the base with the cash you want to process.
Treat the physical cash and the bank balance as different states of the same earnings. Selling loot gives you cash; it does not by itself mean the proceeds have reached the account. Decide which amount you want to secure before starting another outing.
Process cash at the Laundering Desk
- Go to the Laundering Desk at your base.
- Put the cash into the desk using its inventory interface.
- Check that the cash is in the processing setup rather than still in your bag.
- Allow the desk to work and check the resulting bank balance.
The desk works automatically and continues processing while you are offline. That does not make the full deposit immediate. Use the desk’s current status to distinguish cash waiting to be processed from money that has already reached the account.
Laundering rate depends on your settlement level, desk upgrades, and relevant clan business control. There is no single processing time that fits every setup, so read your own interface before planning around a finish time.
Check a balance that has not increased
First confirm the account is open. Next inspect whether the cash actually moved into the desk. Finally, check whether processing is still underway. These checks address different causes; repeating a bank visit will not make a running batch finish instantly.
Keep the protected balance separate from physical money when comparing totals. Funds already in the account are protected from theft until the wipe, while cash that has not completed the process should not be counted as finished banking.
Withdraw only the cash you need
ATMs provide withdrawals after your money is in the account. Use one when you need cash for a purchase. The withdrawal step is separate from putting earnings through the Laundering Desk, so looking for an ATM deposit option is not the route for processing your dirty cash.
