Whether you don’t use Cash App anymore or have found a mobile payment service you like better, here’s how you can get rid of it.
Cash App lets you easily transfer money to family, friends, and other contacts straight from your phone, much like Venmo. However, given that it’s linked to your bank account, you can’t just delete it from your phone like a normal app.
If you want to get rid of Cash App, you’ll need to permanently delete your account before you remove the app itself. Don’t know how? Learn how you can delete your Cash App account on Android or iOS below:
Cash App is a popular mobile payment service that allows you to send or receive money from others with your linked bank account. You can also request money from anyone in your contact list who uses Cash App.
Furthermore, the app offers a Visa debit card (known as the Cash Card) as an optional feature, which enables you to use your Cash App funds and withdraw them from any ATM.
It’s free to open a Cash App account, and once you do, you’ll be assigned a username of your choice called a $Cashtag. With that username, you can send, receive, and request money anytime, anywhere.
Transfer funds from your Cash App account
If you have any funds in your Cash App account, don’t forget to transfer it to your bank account before you continue. Follow the steps mentioned below:
Note: You must sell any stocks or bitcoin you own before you delete your Cash App account.
After you’re done emptying your Cash App account, you can finally delete it. Follow these steps:
Your Cash App account should now be deactivated. If somebody tries to send you money, they’ll get an error message.
The only thing left to do now is delete Cash App from your device.
No, you can’t remove your Cash App payment history. Nobody can view your payment history unless they log into your account – it’s personal information.
Once you’ve deleted your Cash App account, you can’t recover it – but you always have the option of creating a new account using the same bank account, phone number, and email address. This, however, won’t restore the payment history of your previously deleted Cash app account.
By now, you’ve cashed out your Cash App funds, deleted your account, and removed the app from your device. If you decide to use Cash App again in the future, you’ll have to create a new account and reinstall the app.
