Get a secure debit card for teens

A sponsored account allows anyone age 13-17 to use Cash App with approval from an eligible parent or guardian. It's free to sign up.

You can get access to financial tools like Cash App Card and investing, while your sponsor can still have control over how you’re using your money.

Sponsors are the owners for the accounts they approve. They can see balances, monthly statements and real-time transactions. They can also manage permissions on investing and Cash App Card spending.

If you have a sponsored account, or if you sponsor one or more sponsored accounts, your Cash balance and savings balance are eligible for FDIC pass-through insurance through our Program Banks Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and/or Sutton Bank, Members FDIC, for up to $250,000 per customer when aggregated with all other deposits held in the same legal capacity at each Program Bank above, if certain conditions are met. See Terms and Conditions.

When you have a Cash App Card, your Cash balance and savings are protected by FDIC insurance, subject to terms.* By partnering with FDIC-insured banks, your money is available in case the bank fails.

It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with common scams, report phishing attempts, and only send money to people you trust. Make sure to always double check recipient information before sending a payment.

If a parent or guardian invites you to use Cash App with a sponsored account, you can get a Cash App Card. It’s a customizable debit card you design. Your sponsor supervises your account and can set up limits, allowance, and choose which features you have access to.

Yes, Cash App is a great place for teens to learn about finances with the supervision of a parent or legal guardian. As the sponsors of the account, parents and guardians have a number of tools they can use to monitor and control the use of the sponsored account.   Sponsors control and decide which features the teens have access to and can choose to receive notifications of their child’s activity, among other controls. Additionally, all other security features of Cash App apply to sponsored accounts.
