How to Reload a Cash App Card From Linked Bank Account/Debit Card

2. Press Add Cash.
3. Choose the amount you wish to transfer to your Cash App account.
4. Select Add.
5. Enter your PIN or use Touch ID to confirm.

How to Reload Cash App Card via Recurring Deposit

If you’d prefer to not have to worry about running out of available funds on your Cash App card, you can set up a recurring deposit from your bank account on a specific day of the month. For example, you might set it up after your payday, so you’ll always have a balance available to spend. Here’s how to reload Cash App card using recurring deposit:

1. Launch Cash App and select the Banking tab at the bottom left.
2. Open Deposits & Transfers
3. Scroll down and select Recurring.
4. Ensure the toggle above Auto Add Cash is turned on.
5. When asked “How often would you like to add cash?” select Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.

7. Now enter the amount of cash you’d like to add and select Schedule.
8. The app will ask you to confirm changes using Touch ID or enter your PIN.

Note: Setting up recurring deposits to your Cash App account is free.

How to Reload Cash App Card by Requesting Money From Friends and Family

Just as you can with PayPal, you can request money from other people, such as friends and family, to reload your Cash App card. Again, it’s quick and easy to do — just follow these steps.

1. Launch Cash App.
2. Enter the amount of money you’d like to request.
3. Select Request.
4. In the To field, fill out the details of the person you’re requesting money from, such as their email address, phone number, or £Cashtag.

Reloading Your Cash App Card at a Store

If you’d rather go to a store to reload your Cash App card, you’ll find many grocery stores, retail stores, and pharmacies that will allow you to do so, such as Target and Walmart. So, find a participating store and head for the customer service counter.

At the store, let the cashier know you’d like to reload your Cash App card using your QR code.

1. Open Cash App.
2. Select the square symbol at the top left.
3. Select My Code at the bottom.
4. Show the QR code to the cashier for them to scan.

Can you Reload Cash App Card at an ATM?

Unfortunately, reloading your Cash App Card at an ATM is not possible. However, you can withdraw from an ATM using your card, though you’ll pay a fee per transaction.

How to Reload Cash App Card Via Referrals

1. To refer friends, open Cash App and select your Profile icon at the top right.
2. Select Invite Friends.
3. On the next screen, you can either choose Allow & Continue to allow Cash App to access your Contacts, or select Continue to deny access and manually enter a contact’s information.
