How to Add a New Card on Cash App: A Step-by-Step Guide
Adding a new card to your Cash App account is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few minutes. Whether you’re looking to add a new bank account or a credit/debit card, this guide will walk you through the entire process. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Open the Cash App
First, make sure you have the Cash App installed on your smartphone. Open the app, and you’ll be greeted with the main dashboard. If you’re not already logged in, enter your username and password to access your account.
Step 2: Navigate to the Banking Section
Once you’re logged in, you’ll see several tabs at the bottom of the screen. Tap on the “Banking” tab to access your account information and banking options.
Step 3: Select “Add Bank Account” or “Add Card”
Within the Banking section, you’ll find options to add a bank account or a card. If you’re adding a bank account, tap on “Add Bank Account.” If you’re adding a credit/debit card, tap on “Add Card.” For this guide, we’ll focus on adding a credit/debit card.
Step 4: Enter Your Card Information
When you tap on “Add Card,” you’ll be prompted to enter your card information. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Card number
- Card expiration date
- Card CVV
Make sure to enter the information accurately, as incorrect information can lead to issues with adding your card.
Step 5: Verify Your Card
After entering your card information, Cash App will verify your card by making a small, temporary charge to your account. This charge will typically be between $0.99 and $1.99, and it will appear on your bank statement as “Cash App.” Once the charge is made, you’ll need to enter the amount in the Cash App to complete the verification process.
Here’s how to verify your card:
- Check your bank statement for the temporary charge.
- Open the Cash App and tap on “Verify Card.” You’ll be prompted to enter the amount of the temporary charge.
- Enter the amount and tap “Verify.” If the amount matches, your card will be successfully added to your Cash App account.
Step 6: Confirm Your Card
Once your card is verified, you may be prompted to confirm your card. This step is to ensure that you are the rightful owner of the card. To confirm your card, follow these steps:
- Tap on “Confirm Card” in the Cash App.
- Enter the last four digits of your card and tap “Confirm.” If the information matches, your card will be confirmed, and you’ll be able to use it for transactions.
Step 7: Review Your Cards
After adding your card, you can review it by going back to the Banking section. Here, you’ll see a list of all the cards added to your Cash App account. You can manage your cards, set a default card, or remove a card from your account if needed.
