Do you want to deposit that physical check while you're on the go? Luckily, depositing paper checks into Cash App is a simple and easy process. This wikiHow article teaches you how to deposit a physical check into the Cash App mobile app.

    • The check has been properly signed by the person or company issuing the check.
    • The check equals or is less than your deposit limit. (For every Cash App account, each check has a limit of $3,500 with a total limit of $7,500 per month, and the app will tell you how much you have left before you reach your monthly limit).
    • The check hasn't expired. There's usually a 90-day limit on checks.
    • The check hasn't been deposited already.
    • The check is unaltered.
