What is Cash App?
Cash App is a mobile payment service developed by Block, Inc. (formerly Square, Inc.) that enables users to send and receive money instantly using a phone number, email, or $Cashtag. It also offers a Cash Card (a Visa® debit card), direct deposit, and optional features like Bitcoin and stock investing. Because Cash App connects to real funds, it follows financial regulations that require identity checks for certain features.
Before you start: eligibility and documents
To open a Cash App account and access verification features you’ll typically need:
A smartphone compatible with the Cash App (iOS or Android) and a working phone number.
An email address you control.
A U.S. mailing address (P.O. boxes often aren’t accepted for some features).
For identity verification (to increase limits, use direct deposit, or access investing), valid personal details: full legal name, date of birth, and the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number (SSN). Cash App may request a photo of a government-issued ID for further verification.

If you do not have an SSN, Cash App may limit some features. Never use another person’s information — using false or stolen credentials is illegal and risks account closure and criminal charges.
Step 1 — Download and sign up
Install the official Cash App from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Avoid third‑party app stores or installers.
Open the app and enter your phone number or email. Cash App will send a verification code to confirm you control that contact method.
Enter the code and choose a $Cashtag (your unique username). Provide your full legal name and link a bank account or debit card if you plan to add funds or withdraw.
Step 2 — Link a bank account or debit card
Linking a bank account or debit debit card lets you add funds, cash out, and set up direct deposit. Use your own bank information:
For bank linking, you’ll be asked for routing and account numbers. Many banks allow instant verification via login to confirm ownership.
For debit card linking, enter card number, expiration date, CVV, and billing ZIP.
If you prefer, you can add funds later or use other people to send you money — but linking a verified bank account speeds transfers and increases trust.
Step 3 — Verify your identity (when requested)
Cash App asks for identity verification to increase sending/receiving limits, enable direct deposit, and offer investing and Bitcoin features. The verification process may include:
Providing your full legal name and date of birth.
Entering the last four digits of your SSN.
Uploading a clear photo of a government-issued ID (driver’s license, passport, or state ID).
Taking a selfie to confirm the ID matches you (in some cases).

Answer prompts truthfully. If Cash App requests documents, provide them only through the official app — not by email, text, or messages from unknown parties. Verification usually completes within a few days; if it’s delayed, use Cash App’s in‑app support to follow up.
Step 4 — Enable key security settings
Protecting your Cash App account reduces the chance of loss:
Set a strong passcode/PIN and enable biometric login (fingerprint/face ID) if available.
Link your email and phone and secure both with strong passwords and two-factor authentication where possible.
Turn on notifications for transactions so you can quickly spot unauthorized activity.
Never share your sign-in code, PIN, or login details with anyone.
Step 5 — Use Cash Card and direct deposit safely
Order a Cash Card through the app if you want a debit option. Activate it only after receiving it and keep the physical card secure.
