How to Delete a Cash App Account
So, you’ve been using Cash App for some time, but now you want to delete your account. Whatever the reason may be, the good news is that deleting your Cash App account isn’t complicated. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps you need to take to delete your Cash App account permanently.
Step 1: Check your Cash App balance
Before you proceed to delete your account, make sure you have transferred all the money in your Cash App account to your bank account. If you have any pending payments, you must cancel them and request the sender to resend them to you later. Once you have zero balance in your Cash App account, you can proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Unlink your bank account or card from Cash App
If you have linked your bank account or card to your Cash App account, you’ll need to delete them. Open the Cash App and tap on the ‘Banking’ tab. Then select the bank account or card you want to unlink and tap on ‘Remove Bank’ or ‘Remove Card.’ Confirm the action by tapping ‘OK’ when prompted.
Step 3: Contact Cash App Support
The only way to delete your Cash App account permanently is by contacting the Cash App Support team. You can reach out to them through the Cash App itself, phone, or email. Contact details are available at cash.app/help.
Step 4: Verify your identity
Once you have reached the Cash App Support team, they will ask you to verify your identity. You will need to provide your full name, phone number, and email address linked to your Cash App account. Additionally, you may be asked to provide your Cash App account number or other personal information.
Step 5: Request Account Deletion
After verifying your identity, you can then request that your account be deleted. The Cash App Support Team will confirm the deletion of your account and provide you with a confirmation email once the process is complete. This usually takes about one to two working days.
Final thoughts
Deleting your Cash App account isn’t complicated, provided you take care of the few steps involved. Remember to transfer your balance to your bank account, unlink your bank account or card, and contact support to delete your account. Deleting your account will erase your transaction history, and once it’s done, there’s no going back. Therefore, be sure to take all necessary precautions before deciding to delete your Cash App account.
