Steps to Make A Money Request

  1. Tap ‘Request’ on the Cash App home screen, then enter an amount.
  2. A pop up will appear with contact information for anyone who has Cash App (including yourself!). You can also select how quickly they should receive the funds — within minutes or in one day.
  3. Tap “Accept” on their phone’s notification if they accept before tapping on “Confirm.” The transaction is now complete!

Note: The transaction is now complete! If not accepted within 30 seconds of them accepting, it won’t go through so make sure to confirm as soon as possible after someone accepts your request!

Once complete, both of you will need to verify the Cash App request by entering your Cash Card pin and typing “yes” into the prompt.

You can then cash out into a different account or use your Cash Card for purchase(s).

How to Decline A Request

If one of you declines, that person will never be able to initiate a Cash Request from their Cash App again.

The recipient can also decline if they do not want to accept this particular amount for any reason.

If so, both parties will receive notification through the app about what happened with no further action needed!

However, if you ever receive a request for money from someone you do not know always ignore or decline the request and follow these safety tips to avoid scams.

If you want to control who can send you a request you can do so by taking a look at these instructions. [1]

You’ll be able to remove requests from specific people and stop any unwanted Cash App money requests from coming in.
