Tap to Pay on iPhone Security

Tap to Pay on iPhone uses the built-in security and privacy features of iPhone to help keep your business and your customer's data private and secure. When a payment is processed, Apple doesn't store card information on the device or on Apple servers, so you can rest assured knowing your business stays yours.

When accepting Tap to Pay payments on your business account, make sure the payment completes before exchanging goods or services with your customer. You'll see a spinning circle while the payment processes, and a payment confirmation screen will pop up when it's complete.

We also recommend some additional measures to stay safe:

  • Keep Cash App and your device’s operating system up-to-date to ensure you have access to the latest security features and bug-fixes.

  • Secure your account with the following security measures:

    • Security Lock: Enable this setting to require your PIN, Touch ID, or Face ID to authorize every Cash App payment.

    • Push Notifications: Enable for every transaction. We strongly encourage using an alternate or secondary email for additional security.

    • Touch ID / Facial Recognition / Passcode: Enable enhanced login security measures on your iPhone. To learn more about security features on your iPhone, refer to the iPhone User Guide.

We recommend further securing your account by following Cash App’s Security Best Practices.
