How Cash Card Works
-
The Cash Card operates like a traditional prepaid debit card. Instead of linking to a bank account, the Cash App Card links to your Cash App balance. Each time you use your Cash Card online or at a store, the amount you spend is deducted from your Cash App balance . You can use your Cash App Card anywhere that accepts Visa.
- You can add money to your Cash App balance by depositing cash at major retailers like Walmart, Walgreens, 7-Eleven, Duane Reade, Rite Aid, Family Dollar, Pilot Travel Centers, and more), transferring money from your bank account, or receiving money from others. [3] X Research source
- If you make a payment exceeding the amount of your Cash App balance, the card will pull from bank account, as long as you have one linked in your Cash App.
-
You can use your Cash Card at the ATM. If you need to withdraw money from your Cash Card as paper cash, you can do so at any ATM. There will be a $2.50 charge to withdraw money from an ATM, unless you set up direct deposit for your paychecks. If you receive at least $300 of direct deposit funds to your Cash Card each month, Cash App will reimburse ATM fees whenever you use the card for a withdrawal. [4] X Research source
- It's not possible to deposit money to your Cash App Card at an ATM.

How Cash Card is Different

You can use the Cash Card in the United Kingdom. Few mobile payment apps in the U.S. allow for international transfers, but Cash App makes an exception for USD-GBP and GBP-USD transfers. Use your Cash Card in the UK with confidence.
- While Cash App can be used in the UK, you must be in the United States to create an account and order a card.

Go with the Venmo Debit Card instead if you want cashback. When you spend at participating merchants, Venmo offers cashback on your purchases. This cashback goes directly into your [[Venmo balance. [6] X Research source
- Venmo's cashback offers operate similarly to Cash App's Boosts, but users may prefer the payouts that Venmo provides, as opposed to the discounts from Cash App.
