How to add Your Cash Card to Apple Pay?


The Cash Card is a Visa debit card that you can use wherever credit and debit cards are accepted. It’s just like any other Visa or Mastercard that isn’t a credit card and that only takes out money off your existing balance, not pushing you into debt.

Tap the Cash Card tab on your Cash App 

Tap the photo of your Cash Card

Choose “Add to Apple Pay”

Tap “Next”

Read and accept T&C

Set as default card in a wallet or skip

Tap “Done”

You can add your Cash Card to Apple Pay from Apple Wallet as well. To do it:


Open the Apple Wallet app

Tap “+”

Scan the card

Follow instructions

Open Cash App to confirm your Cash Card was added
