Card Not Supported Cash App: Which Cards Work? (SOLVED)

Cash App facilitates peer-to-peer (P2P) money transfers. However, these transfers cannot be made using just any payment method.

For example, ATM cards, Paypal, and company debit cards are not supported.

Instead, you need a bank account or an American Express, Visa, MasterCard, or Discover debit or credit card.

If you’re wondering, “Why isn’t my debit card supported on Cash App?” you’re in the right place!

Here we examine why your card is not supported by Cash App, a supported card list, and payment rules to familiarize yourself with your alternatives.

What Does it Mean When Cash App Says Card Not Supported?

Cash App may not support your card for the following reasons:

• Your card may not be supported/compatible with Cash App.
• Your 16-digit card number, name, or expiration date do not match or are inaccurate.
• The ‘valid from’ date is sometimes incorrect.
• Card companies may deny for fraud protection reasons.
• If the instant deposits feature is disabled.

Note: ATM cards, Paypal, and business debit cards are not currently supported.

Why is Cash App Rejecting My Debit Card?

Payments on Cash App may be refused for a variety of reasons, resulting in the message “failed for my security.”

Some of the most typical causes are:

• Your bank or card issuer rejecting the transaction.
• Inaccurate information.
• The payment triggers one of the Cash App’s automated security flags.

Cash App accepts MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express debit and credit cards.

Most prepaid cards are also accepted, although deposits to these cards are impossible.
