For most people, the Cash app mobile app is the easiest way to use the service. But when it comes to deleting your account, you can’t do it from the app.
Here are the steps to completely closing your Cash app account:
· Log in
· Transfer your funds
· Close your account
· Check your email
Log in
You might use Cash app often. If that’s the case, your password is probably stored within the app. You don’t have to log in every single time.
But that means you might’ve forgotten your password. If that’s the case, Cash app provides a handy link to reset your password. You can also dig through your password manager, or Google Chrome or other browsers may already store your passwords.
Transfer your funds
Cash app won’t let you close your cash app account if it still has funds available or transactions in progress. You’ll need to do one of two things. You can always return the funds to the sender.
If you want to keep the money, transfer it into your bank account. Normally this will take a few business days, but if you want an instant bank transfer, Cash app will charge you a small fee.
Close your account
After you’ve transferred all your funds, and logged into your account, click “Settings.” Near the bottom of the page, click “Close My Cash app” account, then “Next.”
Before you close your account, you’ll need to review your most recent statement. Once that’s done, click “Close Account” again.
Check your email
When your account is finally closed down, Cash app will send one final email to the address associated with your Cash app account. It’ll include your transaction history and a goodbye message.
