Adding a Visa card to your Cash App account allows you to send, receive, and spend money conveniently. You can also use your Cash App Visa Debit Card to make purchases anywhere Visa is accepted.

This guide explains how to link a Visa debit or credit card, what to know about Visa gift cards, and how to get your own Cash App Visa Card.

1. Steps to Add Your Visa Card (Debit or Credit)

Cash App supports most U.S.-issued debit and credit cards from Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. However, some prepaid cards and business debit cards may not be compatible.

Follow these steps to link your card:

1. Open Cash App on your phone.
2. Tap the Profile Icon (or your photo) in the top right corner.
3. Select Linked Banks or Bank Accounts.
4. Tap Link Debit Card. (If you want to add a credit card, you must first link a debit card or bank account. Then, the option to Link Credit Card will appear.)
5. Enter your card information — card number, expiration date, CVV, and ZIP code — then follow the on-screen prompts to confirm.

Note: Some credit cards may charge a 3% fee when used to send money through Cash App.

2. Adding a Visa Gift Card

Cash App currently does not officially support linking or transferring funds from most prepaid or gift cards, including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express gift cards. You can only use linked bank accounts, debit cards, or credit cards to add funds or make payments within Cash App.

While a few open-loop Visa gift cards (those with the Visa logo and card number) may appear to link, Cash App will not allow you to transfer or withdraw their balance directly into your Cash App account.

Recommended alternative: You can use your Visa gift card balance by spending it directly with merchants that accept Visa. If you want to transfer that balance to Cash App, you’ll need to use an indirect method, such as adding the gift card to PayPal or Venmo, then transferring the funds to a bank account linked to Cash App. (Be aware that such workarounds may include small transfer fees.)

3. Getting Your Cash App Visa Card

The Cash App Card is a free, customizable Visa debit card linked directly to your Cash App balance. You can use it for online or in-store purchases wherever Visa is accepted and withdraw cash at ATMs (standard fees may apply).

To order your Cash App Visa Card:

1. Tap the Card tab (the card icon at the bottom of the Cash App home screen).
2. Select Get Free Cash Card or Design a New Card.
3. Follow the on-screen steps to choose a style, add personalization (like color or emoji), and enter your mailing details.

Eligibility: You must be at least 18 years old to order a Cash Card (or 13+ with a parent or guardian through Cash App Family Account).

Sending money using a linked debit card is free. However, if you use a credit card to send money, Cash App applies a 3% transaction fee.

You can use your Cash App Card for purchases anywhere Visa is accepted — online, in stores, or at ATMs. You can also use it with Apple Pay or Google Pay for contactless transactions.
