How to Delete a Cash App Account
To delete your Cash App account, open the app, go to 'Profile' > 'Support' > 'Something Else' > 'Account Settings' > 'Close Account'. Follow the prompts to confirm. This action is irreversible, so ensure you withdraw any remaining funds first.
Deleting your Cash App account permanently removes your profile, transaction history, and linked bank information from the platform. Once deleted, you cannot recover your account or data, and any remaining funds must be transferred before deletion.
Before you start
- Ensure all funds are transferred to your linked bank account or withdrawn via Cash Card.
- Pay off any outstanding balances or loans associated with your Cash App.
- Cancel any active subscriptions or recurring payments linked to your Cash App account.
