Getting a Sponsored Account

Sending a Sponsor Request

After signing up for Cash App, anyone between the ages of 13 and 17 must ask an eligible parent or guardian to sponsor their account in order to access certain features.

Before an account is sponsored, certain actions will prompt you for more details, like ordering a Cash Card, sending a payment, or adding funds from a debit card. You can send a sponsor request directly from Family in account settings.

To do so:

• Tap the Profile Icon on your Cash App home screen

• Select Family and tap I’m a teen

• Follow prompts to enter your name and birthday

• Tap Select sponsor and look up a parent or guardian

• Tap Send in the top right

[Sponsors] Inviting someone between the ages of 13 and 17 and sponsoring their account

An eligible parent or guardian with a verified account can also invite someone between the ages of 13 and 17 to create a Cash App account and manage money together.

To invite someone between the ages of 13 and 17, follow these steps in-app:

1. Tap the Profile Icon on your Cash App home screen

2. Select Family 

3. Tap Invite a teen

4. Look up the information of the person you want to sponsor (name, $cashtag, phone number, or email). Syncing your contacts helps make this process easier.

5. Follow the prompts and enter the information of the person you want to sponsor
   

If you’re not seeing the Family tile in your Money tab:

1. Tap the Profile icon on your Cash App home screen 
2. Select Family 
3. Tap Invite a teen 
4. Follow the prompts

If you’re not seeing the Family tile in your Money tab or in the Profile Icon, you’re likely ineligible to sponsor an account at this time.

Once the sponsor has sent an invite, they will need to finish setting up the sponsored account from their own Cash App account.

To approve a sponsor request:

1. Tap the Activity icon on your Cash App home screen

2. On Request for Approval, tap View

3. Review the terms and conditions and tap Accept
