Will Cash App Work with PayPal?

At the moment, Cash App does not support PayPal, ATM cards, or business debit cards. To transfer money between the two apps, you will need to use alternative methods.

The Cash App’s support page states that the following debit and credit cards are the only ones that are compatible with it:

Visa
MasterCard
American Express
Discover

Cash App also supports many prepaid cards, though it won’t let users deposit funds to them. You can use the same card on these two apps to effectively share funds between them.

Use Your Bank Account

Any bank account you have will function with Cash App and PayPal. As a result, any funds you send from Cash App to your bank account can later be added to the balance of your PayPal account.

There’s currently no direct link between the two services.

Cash App to PayPal

This section will teach you how to transfer money from Cash App to your bank account before moving it to PayPal. The process can take several days, unless you opt to send the money instantly for a small fee. Here’s what you need to do:

Launch Cash App on your phone.

Check your balance before sending.

On the balance screen, select “Cash Out.”

Enter the amount you want to send to your bank account.

Proceed with the transaction.

In order to avoid unforeseen mistakes and delays, it is best to have some money in your bank account to make up the difference.

The standard transfer option on Cash App costs nothing and can take up to three business days. In contrast, if you pay a transfer fee, you can get the money right away. If the situation is urgent or you are starting the transaction close to the weekend or a holiday, we advise doing so.

When the money comes, you can transfer it using the PayPal website or mobile app.

Transferring funds via the website:

Go to the PayPal official website and log in.

Click on “Wallet.”

Next, select “Transfer Money.”

Pick “Add Money To Your Balance.”

Choose the same bank account you’ve been using.

Enter the amount you want to transfer.

Click on ‘Add.”

Launch the PayPal app on your phone and log in if needed.

Both methods require a three- to five-business-day wait. Make sure there are no restrictions on your PayPal account, as these can make the process take longer.
