Adding funds to your Cash App card is easy and convenient. You can add money directly through the app using a linked bank account or debit card. However, if you prefer to use cash, you can load money onto your Cash App card at participating retail locations. This guide provides a step-by-step breakdown of how to add cash to your Cash App card.
Locating Participating Retailers
Cash App partners with various retailers to facilitate cash deposits. You can find a participating store near you directly through the Cash App:
- Open the Cash App: Launch the application on your mobile device.
- Navigate to the Banking Tab: Locate and tap the “Banking” tab, usually found at the bottom of the home screen.
- Select “Paper Money”: Within the Banking tab, choose the option labeled “Paper Money.”
- Find a Location: The app will display a map highlighting nearby stores that accept Cash App deposits. You can also use the search bar to enter a specific address or zip code. Alternatively, refer to the list of participating retailers provided below.

Making a Cash Deposit
Once you’ve arrived at a participating store, follow these steps:
-
Inform the Cashier: Tell the cashier you’d like to add money to your Cash App card.
-
Present Your Barcode: Open the “Paper Money” section in your Cash App and show the cashier the generated barcode. This barcode is unique to your account and allows the cashier to properly credit your deposit.
-
Provide the Cash: Hand the cashier the amount of cash you want to deposit. Remember there are deposit limits (discussed below).
-
Keep Your Receipt: It’s always a good practice to retain your receipt as proof of transaction.
Important Considerations
- Deposit Limits: Cash App limits paper money deposits to $1,000 per 7 days and $4,000 per 30 days. Each individual transaction must be between $5 and $500. These limits are subject to change, so always refer to the Cash App’s official documentation for the most up-to-date information.
- Fees: Cash App charges a $1 fee for each cash deposit. This fee is automatically deducted from the deposited amount. However, you can avoid this fee if you set up direct deposit of $300 or more per month.
- ID Verification: Some retailers may require you to present a valid photo ID for verification purposes. Be prepared to show your ID if requested.
- Troubleshooting: If the cashier is unfamiliar with the Cash App deposit process, you can show them the in-app instructions by tapping the “?” icon on the “Paper Money” map screen. If you encounter any other issues, contact Cash App support for assistance.
Conclusion
Loading money onto your Cash App card with cash at participating retailers offers a convenient alternative to using a bank account or debit card. By following these simple steps and being mindful of the deposit limits and fees, you can easily manage your Cash App funds. Remember to always keep your receipt for your records.
