Can You Use a Credit Card With Cash App?

Following the above steps should let you send money from your credit card. However, there are some things to know if those directions don't work or if you're unsure how Cash App uses your credit card.

• You must add a debit card to your account before you can send cash with a credit card. Doing that is nearly identical to the steps above.
• You can not fund your Cash App balance with a credit card. A debit card is used for that.
• You can not cash out to your credit card. Instead, Cash App offers standard deposits to your bank account and Instant Deposits (subject to a fee) to your debit card.
• A 3 percent charge is added to the payment total when you send money from a credit card. This fee is calculated in real-time, so you'll see the total amount before you're charged.
