Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the answers to more questions we’ve been asked about adding debit cards to Cash App.

Can you have two debit cards on the Cash App?

No, the Cash App doesn’t allow you to register more than one card and one bank account at a time. But you can change an expired or otherwise non-working bank card by following the instructions below:

1. Launch the Cash App on your mobile device.

2. From the main menu, tap the bank icon located at the bottom left of your screen.

3. Tap “Linked Accounts.” You’ll see your linked credit card and bank account. To unlink a debit card, find it under the “Bank Accounts” section.

4. After opening the debit card details, tap the three-dot icon in the corner.

5. Tap “Replace Debit Card.” Optionally, tap “Remove Debit Card” to delete its details.

6. Enter the new card details. When done, tap “Add Card” at the bottom of your screen. Your card is now added to your wallet.

Why can’t I add a debit card to the Cash App?

A debit card not linking to the Cash App is a common issue. This happens due to your card not being supported by the app. Currently, the Cash app supports only Visa, America Express, Discover, and MasterCard cards. Trying to register some business debit cards and prepaid cards will result in an “Error” message on your screen.

If you don’t see the “Error” message, you may have to link your bank account first. Follow the instructions provided below to link a bank account to your Cash App:

1. Log in to your Cash App account from the mobile app.

2. On the main screen, tap the bank icon located at the bottom left of your screen.

3. Tap “Add a Bank.”

4. You’ll be asked to enter your bank details. Do so and tap “Add Bank.”

5. On the next screen, tap “Add Credit Card.”

6. Enter your card details and tap “Add Card.” Your card should now be linked to your Cash App account.

If your bank account already was linked, but you can’t add a card, you may already have a card registered. The Cash App currently supports only one card at a time.

How long does debit card verification take on Cash App?

When you add a new debit card to Cash App, the company has to reach out to the financial institution to ensure the card is legitimate and ready for use. However, this process can vary in time to completion. Many users see the process take as little as fifteen minutes, while others can see wait times of up to three days.

If you’re waiting for the verification process to complete so you can use your new debit card on Cash App, you can contact the company’s customer support for more assistance.

Pay Easy

Hopefully, our guide has helped you to add a debit card to your Cash App account. While it may be a problem that you can’t add a second card to the app, this does speed up logging in and paying processes.
