If you have Cash App and Apple Pay, you might have wondered if you can transfer money between these apps. While there isn't a direct way to move money from your Cash App account into your Apple Pay, you can transfer money from Cash App to your bank and then add that money to your Apple Cash card. Alternatively, you can add your Cash App debit card (if you have one) to your Apple Wallet. Keep reading to learn how.

Quick Steps

In Cash App, open the money menu and tap Cash Out.
Follow the instructions to withdraw money to your bank account.
Open the Wallet app and tap your Apple Cash card.
Tap the three-dot icon and select Add Money.
Add the amount you withdrew from Cash App from the same bank account.

You can't directly transfer money from Cash App to Apple Pay, but you can work around this by withdrawing money from Cash App to your bank account, and then adding that money to your Apple Cash.
It's near the top of the screen, under your cash balance, and next to the Add Cash button.^{[1]

Withdraw some of your balance. After tapping Cash Out, use the slider to select how much money you want to withdraw, then select either a Standard or Instant Deposit. Then tap the Cash Out button to confirm the withdrawal.
- Standard deposits are free but take 1 to 3 days to process. Instant Deposits happen immediately, but are subject to a fee of 0.5% to 1.75%.^{[2]

- If you're trying to move money to your Apple Pay quickly, select the Instant Deposit.

Open your Wallet app. Before you can add money to your Apple Cash, your debit card must be added to your Wallet. If your debit card isn't in your Wallet app, check out this wikiHow article to learn how to add it.
- Make sure the debit card in your Wallet is connected to the same bank account that your Cash App account is connected to.
- Alternatively, if your Cash App and Apple Pay are connected to different accounts that are both under your main bank account, you can transfer the Cash App funds from one account to the other account (which is usually instant and fee-free, but this may vary by bank).
To do this, tap on your Apple Cash card, then tap the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner.
It's the top option in the menu with a dollar sign icon next to it.
You must transfer a minimum of $10. Tap Add in the top right corner to move to the next screen.

Complete the transfer. If Apple Cash selected the wrong debit card, tap the card selector (which is directly under the "Cash" heading) and select the correct debit card. Then, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the transfer by authenticating it via Face ID, Touch ID, passcode, or Optic ID.^{[3]

Warnings

Never pay a third-party service to transfer your Cash App balance to your Apple Pay. You can transfer the money for free using a bank account, and it's hard to verify the safety of a third-party service that's not affiliated with Cash App, Apple, or your bank.
