About the Steward Wallet
Updated by Steward Team
As a Steward lender, you will have access to a unique digital wallet⏤your Steward Wallet⏤which holds the repayments you've received from participating in Steward loans. Funds can be held in your wallet until you decide to withdraw them to your bank account, or once the balance exceeds $100, put them back to work supporting another project. Note that payouts will differ depending on the type of participation and loan terms.
How do I re-lend money from my Steward Wallet?
When making a loan to an individual lending campaign or to Steward Regenerative Capital, you can transfer money from your Steward Wallet if you have the sufficient balance to do so. This transfer type is only available if your current Wallet balance is greater than $100 and the amount you would like to loan.
To transfer money from your Steward Wallet:
- Initiate a loan to a Steward campaign
- At the Lending Details stage of the loan checkout you will find the Transfer Type options
- Select the Steward Wallet option
- Complete your loan checkout
How do I withdraw the money from my Steward Wallet?
Steward Wallet funds can be withdrawn directly to your linked bank account via ACH transfer, with no withdrawal minimum or fees from Steward.
If you are unable to receive your payout by ACH transfer, you can opt to be mailed a physical check with your annual returns. If you would like to withdraw your earnings this way, let us know at support@gosteward.com.
