The Vinted platform has rapidly gained popularity in Europe as a convenient place to sell clothes, shoes, and accessories. If you have already made your first sale and see money in your Vinted balance, it’s time to figure out how to get it. Spoiler: it’s pretty simple — but there are important nuances you should know so you don’t get stuck at the withdrawal stage.
What is a Vinted balance and where is it displayed?
Once the buyer has received your item and confirmed this in the app (or two days have passed since delivery if they have not confirmed manually), the sale amount is credited to your internal wallet in Vinted — this is called your “Balance.” This is not a bank account, but a kind of buffer: from here, you can either use the money for purchases on the platform or withdraw it to your bank card.
The balance is displayed in your profile: go to the menu – “Balance” to see the available amount and status of funds.
What information do you need to provide for withdrawal
Before your first withdrawal, Vinted will ask you to enter your bank details. This is a one-time requirement:
- Full name of the account holder (must match the name in your account);
- IBAN (international account number);
- BIC/SWIFT code of your bank.
In addition, you must undergo verification through the third-party service Mangopay, which processes Vinted’s financial transactions. The system may request documents such as your passport, ID card, or driver’s license. This is a standard KYC (Know Your Customer) procedure, and without it, the money will not be withdrawn.
How withdrawals work
Withdrawals take an average of 2 to 5 business days, depending on the bank. To send money to your card, go to the “Balance” section and click the “Withdraw” button. Specify the amount (you can withdraw all or part of it) and confirm. That’s it — Vinted will send the payment, and you will receive a notification by email or in the app as soon as the transfer is initiated.
Important: the money is not debited instantly — the platform first verifies the transaction, then it goes to the bank. Sometimes the transfer may be delayed at the confirmation stage due to technical checks or holidays.
Fees and limits
There are no fees for withdrawing funds from Vinted — you receive the full amount from the sale. However, Mangopay or your bank may charge a small fee for accepting the transfer (which is extremely rare and depends on the specific bank).
There is no minimum withdrawal threshold — you can transfer even a few euros. However, some users recommend saving up your balance and withdrawing infrequently to avoid small bank fees (if applicable).
Common problems and how to avoid them
- Payment has not arrived after 5 days — check that the IBAN and name are correct. Try contacting Vinted support: in the “Help” section → “Contact us.”
- Mangopay requests documents again — this sometimes happens when a certain amount is accumulated or data is changed. Just upload the necessary documents again.
- Error when entering details — make sure you are using a bank account that is suitable for SEPA transfers (eurozone). Some online banks may not be supported.
Can I receive money on PayPal or a card without an IBAN?
No. Vinted does not work with PayPal or other e-wallets. All payments are made exclusively to a bank account via SEPA transfers, so an IBAN is required.
Conclusion: To withdraw money from Vinted, you need to verify your identity, provide the correct bank details, and initiate a transfer via the “Balance” section. It’s simple, secure, and free of charge — just don’t forget to verify and check your details.
If you actively sell on Vinted, it’s worth checking periodically that your bank details are correct so that payments arrive on time.
