What Happens if You Decline a Cash App Request? (Explained)
In today’s post, I’ll address a question I’ve been getting a lot lately: “what happens when you decline a cash app request.”
Cash App (previously Square Cash) is a mobile payment service established by Block, Inc. that allows users to send money to one another using a mobile phone app.
Users may use the service to transmit, receive, and keep the money.
You may request payment for goods and services from the Cash App’s home screen.
Perhaps you want to refuse the request because you owe them money and don’t have the funds.

How to Decline a Pending Cash App Request
When you get a Cash App request to pay someone, the request will appear in the center column as Pending.
The “Pending” page on your Cash App will prompt you to take action. You have the option of accepting or declining the payment.
If you are using the app for the first time, you may become confused and mistakenly pay them because there is no option to decline these requests, only a single green pay button.
If you’re going to deny the request, don’t click on it.
Instead, click the name seeking the money and reject the pending Cash App request.
