2. Merchants and Cashiers
After you’ve arrived at the store, tell the cashier you want to load funds to your Cash App using your barcode. If they’re not sure how to help, you can show them the instructions by tapping the ? on your map.
Once the cashier scans the barcode within your Cash App, hand them the money you’d like to deposit. The funds will automatically be added to your Cash App balance. We recommend keeping a copy of your receipt from the cashier.
Asked to Swipe Card
Some merchants may ask you to swipe your Cash Card to perform the Paper Money deposit. With Cash App, the barcode must be scanned to begin the deposit transaction.
If you’re asked to swipe or insert your card for the deposit, tell the cashier that they should scan the barcode instead of trying to swipe your card.
Paper Money Deposit Limits
With Paper Money deposits, you can deposit up to $1,000 per rolling 7 days, and $4,000 per rolling 30 days. Transactions must be a minimum of $5 and cannot exceed $500 per deposit.
The 7-day and 30-day limits are based on a rolling time frame. If you run into a deposit limit, we’ll send you a notification with more information.
ID Verification
Certain merchants and retailers may ask for your ID as an additional verification step when you deposit cash. Since your Paper Cash deposit is being made at a store, you’ll need to follow any policies that location has in place.
Conclusion
