Turn vulnerable cash into protected funds
An impressive cash haul can still be taken from you. To launder money in ROB RUN, first open an account at Looty Bay Bank as a Civilian, then process your cash through the Laundering Desk at your base. The process takes time and protects those funds from theft until the next wipe.
That sequence is the practical answer to ROB RUN how to launder money. The bank account is the prerequisite, while the desk is where the cash-processing step happens.
Open your account before using the desk
Go to Looty Bay Bank as a Civilian to establish your account. The official ROB RUN laundering guide explicitly includes that role condition, so check your role before planning the trip.
Once the account is open, use the Laundering Desk at your base for the money you want to protect. Do not assume visiting the bank automatically processes all the cash you carry. The official instructions describe account creation and laundering as separate parts of the process.
Allow time for laundering
Laundering is not described as instantaneous. Build that delay into your plans instead of assuming money is safe the moment you decide to process it.
The published instructions do not give a universal timer, processing fee, or a desk construction recipe. Check the details shown in your game for your current transaction. There is no supported shortcut here that lets a guide promise immediate completion or a particular net amount.
For a straightforward routine, think in three stages: open the account, process cash at the desk, and verify the resulting funds before relying on bank protection. This keeps the account prerequisite from being confused with a finished laundering job.
Keep the protection and wipe limits in view
Cash can be stolen or confiscated. Banked money is protected against theft until the next wipe, which is why laundering matters even if you already know how to earn more.
You can withdraw cash from any ATM when you need it. Withdrawing makes cash available for spending, but it also brings the cash-theft distinction back into your planning. Keeping money banked and carrying money serve different purposes.
Laundering does not make wealth permanent across server resets. The official Federal Raid explanation describes a wipe every seven days, with cash among the things reset and converted into jail time and authority. Plan your use of funds around that reset cycle rather than treating your account as a forever vault.
