How to Add People On Cash App
Sending and receiving money is easy on Cash App.
However, if you want to send money to someone who doesn’t have Cash App, that person has to first download the app and create an account to receive the money.
Creating a Cash App account only takes a few minutes.
Cash App will verify instantly if the person has a major bank account. Then, they can send or receive money immediately.
Cash App also pays you for referrals.
This means that if the person you refer to Cash App downloads the app using your referral code and sends $5 or more within 14 days, you’ll get $10 deposited into your account.
To invite a friend to Cash App, follow these steps:
- Click on the profile icon on your Cash App home screen. You can find the icon in the top right corner.
- Then, click on the “Invite Friends. Get $10” option.
- Click on “Allow” to authorize Cash App to access your contacts.
- You can manually enter a phone number, name, or email address from your contacts list. You can also scroll through and tap on a contact.
- If “USES CASH APP” is shown in green next to the account holder’s name, he or she already uses Cash App and you cannot invite them.
- From there, select the friends you want to invite.
- Tap “Get $” next to a contact’s name to invite them. When you invite someone, a checkmark appears next to their name.
- Tap “Invite” in the top-right corner when you’re done.
When you do this, a text message that contains your unique referral code will display on your phone.
Click the “Send” button.
NOTE: Your friend must use your code and a newly linked debit card to claim the invitation bonus to send $5 or more within 14 days.
Users under 18 can activate a Cash Card instead of a personal debit card.
