How do you get money from your bank account in cash?

For amounts less than ten grand (varies by bank), make a check out to "cash", sign it, and take it to your local bank. As long as your account contains the necessary funds, they will hand you the cash.


If there is no money in a checking account can you cash a check?

There are a couple ways to answer this question. 1) IF A CHECK IS WRITTEN OUT TO YOU.. and you would like to cash it but have no money in YOUR account: Unless it is a government check or a payroll check you will not be able to cash it. Most banks now require you to provide your Social Security Number when cashing it instead of your account number (since there is no money in your account to "hold the check" against.) IF you still need to cash it you can always bring it to the bank that it was "drawn off of" on every check it says what bank that persons account is at. 2) IF A CHECK IS WRITTEN YOU TO YOU.. and you would like to cash it but the person whose account it's coming from does not have enough money (or no money) you'll still be able to cash it, however the person whose account its coming from will be hit with an overdraft fee. Also, when you bring it to your bank to cash it and it is "drawn off" a different bank the money may be drawn out of YOUR OWN account. Banks dont like giving out money for free. I highly suggest you bring it to the bank it was drawn off of to avoid any problems. 2) IF YOU WROTE OUT A CHECK.. and dont have enough money in your account the check might go through, but you will be hit with a big overdraft fee for going below $0.

I guess Yes. Banks are the only place you can cash a check. Since it is your paycheck from the job, the check will be from a bank account of your employer.
