Rob Run: How to Deposit Money and Keep It Safe
Learn how to deposit money in Rob Run: open a Looty Bay Bank account, launder cash at your base, and withdraw funds at any ATM.
In Rob Run, you deposit money by opening a bank account at the Looty Bay Bank as a Civilian, then running your cash through the Laundering Desk at your base. Laundering takes time, but it protects your funds from being stolen until the next wipe. Once your money is in the bank, you can withdraw cash at any ATM.
Step-by-step: depositing money in Rob Run
The official Kefir Games help page describes the process in two stages — opening the account, then laundering the cash. Here is the sequence as the source lays it out:
- Switch to the Civilian role. The bank account can only be opened while playing as a Civilian, so choose that role before heading to the bank.
- Visit the Looty Bay Bank. This is where the account is opened. The source does not list any fee, level requirement, or prerequisite beyond being a Civilian.
- Go to your base and use the Laundering Desk. Running your cash through the desk is how money actually gets deposited. This step is not instant — laundering takes time.
- Wait for the laundering to finish. The source confirms the process is time-based but does not state an exact duration.
- Withdraw when needed. You can pull cash back out at any ATM.
A quick checklist for the whole loop:
- Playing as a Civilian
- Bank account opened at Looty Bay Bank
- Cash taken to the Laundering Desk at your base
- Laundering completed
- ATM used for withdrawals
Why launder money at all?
The official FAQ frames laundering as a protection mechanic rather than a formality. Cash that has been run through the Laundering Desk is shielded from theft until the next wipe. In other words, the time you spend waiting on the desk is the trade-off for not losing your funds to other players before the wipe resets things.
The source also links this topic to a related question — "Can my money be stolen?" — which confirms that theft of money is a real concern in Rob Run's economy. Laundering is presented as the answer to that concern.
What the source does not confirm
Because the official page is short, several details that players often ask about are not confirmed by the supplied material. Treat the following as unknown rather than assuming an answer:
| Question | Status |
|---|---|
| Minimum or maximum deposit amount | Not stated |
| Laundering time (minutes/hours) | Not stated ("takes time" only) |
| Fee or cut taken by the bank or desk | Not stated |
| Whether laundering can be interrupted or cancelled | Not stated |
| Whether funds are safe from theft while laundering is in progress | Not stated |
| Which ATMs exist and where | Not stated (only that "any ATM" works) |
| Whether the account persists across wipes | Not stated (protection is described as lasting "until the next wipe") |
If you need exact numbers, check the in-game interface or the official help centre, since this article will not guess at figures the source does not provide.
Common mistakes to avoid
Based on what the official page does say, a few pitfalls stand out:
- Trying to open the account in the wrong role. The bank visit is explicitly a Civilian activity. If you are not a Civilian, the account step is not described as available to you.
- Expecting instant deposits. Laundering is time-gated. Planning around the wait matters if you want your cash protected before a risky session.
- Carrying unlaundered cash into danger. The whole point of the desk is that unprotected money can be stolen. Skipping laundering leaves your funds exposed.
- Forgetting the ATM step. Deposited money is not automatically in your pockets — withdrawals happen at ATMs, per the source.
Version and platform note
The source page does not specify a game version, platform, or patch number for these mechanics, and the version is not independently confirmed here. The page was last updated recently according to its own timestamp, but no version label is attached. If a future update changes the bank or Laundering Desk behaviour, the official FAQ is the place to verify it.
FAQ
Do I need to be a Civilian to deposit money? Yes — the official FAQ says you visit the Looty Bay Bank as a Civilian to open the account. The laundering step happens at your base afterward.
Is depositing money instant? No. Laundering at the desk takes time, according to the official page, though no duration is given.
Can I get my money back out? Yes. The source states you can withdraw cash at any ATM.
Does laundering protect my money forever? No. The protection is described as lasting until the next wipe, not permanently.
Can my money be stolen if I don't launder it? The FAQ links directly to a "Can my money be stolen?" question and presents laundering as the way to protect funds, which indicates unprotected cash is at risk. The exact theft mechanics are not detailed in the supplied material.
