# Accessing Earn account without Zeal

Assets in Earn are stored inside subaccounts. These are separate smart contract accounts on the blockchain that allows users to store assets in an account with limited permissions - such as being used for recharging the Gnosis Pay card. Earn subaccounts are controlled by the smart wallet or legacy/EOA wallet that the user used initially to create it. Subaccounts are not portable and are permanently owned by the original creator.

This is an expert guide for how to access your Earn account without the Zeal Earn tab. It is not meant for beginners.

* Comfortable using [block explorers like Gnosis Scan](https://gnosisscan.io/)
* Ability to handle token decimals

Clicking this link will open your Earn subaccount address in Gnosisscan. This is the address that holds your investment assets (e.g. sDAI, aaGnoEURe, wstETH). You can add this address to Zapper / Debank / whatever to see your DeFi position.

### **Reviewing subaccount assets using block explorer**

Switch to the `Contract page` and then to `Read Contract as Proxy`

At the bottom of this page you can see the investmentBalance of your Earn subaccount. This is how many of the investment tokens are sitting in your account:

### Withdrawing Earn subaccount assets using block explorer

Switch to the `Contract page` and then to `Write Contract as Proxy` subpage.&#x20;

Function `5. withdrawInvestment` allows you to withdraw assets from the subaccounts specified in the number of the asset. You can the total number of the asset that you have in the previous step.

This transaction must be submitted by the owner of the subaccount. If the owner of the subaccount is a Smart wallet and you don't have access to Zeal - then you must first [recover your smart wallet as a Safe.](/expert-guides/using-a-smart-wallet-without-zeal.md)
