Bankthe WayYou Want

No, you don’t need a bank account to create a Cash App account or add money to your Cash App balance.

There are a number of ways to send and receive money through Cash App if you don’t have or want to link your bank account. You can deposit paychecks, tax returns, and more to your Cash App balance using your Cash App account and routing numbers. And you can even deposit paper money into your Cash App balance at participating retailers.

You can order a Cash Card directly in the app.

The Cash Card is a free, customizable debit card that is connected to your Cash App balance. It can be used anywhere Visa is accepted, both online and in stores.

The Cash Card isn’t connected to your personal debit card or bank account. Cashing Out transfers your funds from your Cash App balance to your debit card or bank account.

You must be 18 or older to apply for a Cash Card. Cards should arrive within 10 business days. Your Cash Card can be used as soon as you order it, by adding it to Apple Pay and Google Pay, or by using the card details found in the Cash Card tab.

You can deposit paychecks, tax returns, and more to your Cash App balance using your account and routing number. You can receive up to $25,000 per direct deposit, and up to $50,000 in a 24-hour period.

Cash App makes direct deposits available as soon as they are received, up to two days earlier than many banks. Your first deposit may take longer to become available depending on your employer.

How does Cash App keep my account safe?

Cash App uses cutting-edge encryption and fraud detection technology to make sure your data and money is secure. Any information you submit is encrypted and sent to our servers securely, regardless of whether you’re using a public or private Wi-Fi connection or data service.

Is my Cash App balance insured by the FDIC?

If you have a Cash Card, the money in your Cash App account balance is covered by the FDIC through our partner banks (FDIC “pass-through” insurance) in the event of bank failure. The FDIC will cover eligible accounts up to $250,000 per Cash App customer. Bitcoin and investing balances are not covered by FDIC insurance.

Does FDIC cover money lost due to fraud?

No, FDIC offers insurance on deposits by institution, meaning that if your bank goes out of business, your money is protected up to $250,000. Insurance coverage is not provided for individual transactions.
