How to Add Cash in the Cash App

In Cash App, you can send people money, invest in company stocks or shares, trade crypto, and pay your bills. However, you need to add funds to your Cash App account first, and this article will show you how.

Add Cash to Cash App From Your Bank Account

You can add money to your Cash App account from your bank account, but you’ll need to link them first. Follow the steps below to do this:

1. In Cash App, tap on the “Bank” icon to your left.

4. Add your debit card information and link the bank account associated with the card.
   
5. If you don’t have a debit card but want to add a bank account, follow the same process but select “No Card” when you’re prompted to input debit card details.
   
6. Select a bank account from the supplied list, and add your online banking details.
   
7. Go back to the main menu.
   
8. Tap on “Add Cash,” which is under your account balance.
   
9. Enter the amount and select “Add.”
   

Add Cash to Cash App From a Store

Some stores like Walgreens, 7-Eleven, and Walmart allow you to deposit cash into your Cash App account. When the store cashier scans your unique bar code, you can deposit up to $500 into your Cash App account. Follow these steps to add cash from a retail store to your Cash App account:

1. Search for the nearest store, allowing people to deposit cash into Cash App. To find one open Cash App, choose “Bank,” then select “Paper Money.” Cash App will access your location (make sure it’s turned on).
   
2. Tap on a store to get address details.
   
3. Select “Directions” or “Copy Address” and paste the info into your GPS.
   
4. At the store, tell the cashier you’d like to add money to Cash App.
   
5. The cashier will ask to scan your barcode, so in your Cash App, select “Show Barcode.” Or, tap on the “Bank” icon, select “Paper Money,” click on the store’s name and choose “Show Barcode.”
   
6. Give the cashier your cash.
   
7. Tap on “Done.”
   

Note that you can deposit a minimum of $5 and a maximum of $500. Cash App only charges $1 per deposit, and you are limited to $1,000 a week and $4,000 per month. You can make a single deposit with each barcode. If you need to add more than $500 in a single sitting, you must generate another barcode and complete your transaction.

Move Cash From Cash App to Your Bank Account

If you need to use some of the money you’ve added to your Cash App outside of the app, you can deposit it (i.e., withdraw) into your bank account using the following easy steps:

1. Open the Cash App on your mobile.
   
2. From the left of your screen, select “Bank.”
   
3. Choose “Cash Out,” which is under your current balance.
   
4. Input the amount you want to withdraw to your bank.
   
5. Click on “Cash Out.”
   
6. Two payment options will appear: “Instant” and “Standard.” Standard withdrawals take couple of days to send the money to your bank for free. Instant cash-out charges a fee to send the funds to your bank account quicker, usually within an hour.
   
7. Choose your option, then select “Done.”
