How to Delete a Cash App Account

Cash App is a multipurpose personal finance app that lets you send and receive money, make payments, invest, and file taxes. While it’s super handy, your time with it may have come to an end; perhaps you found another mobile payment app that better suits your needs.

Cash App connects directly with your bank account and houses lots of sensitive information about you, so it’s best not to have that sitting out there if you’re not using it. Hitting delete on the app won’t remove your account, though, so here’s what you need to do first.

Open up Cash App and make sure you don’t have any funds sitting there for you. Click the bank icon on the bottom left; if there’s a cash balance, select Cash Out on the screen.

Next, check for any investments, like stocks and Bitcoin. To sell stock, tap Stocks on the home screen, then go to Stocks Owned, click on each stock, and hit Sell. You’ll be asked how much you want to sell and to enter your PIN.

To cash out your Bitcoin, tap the Bitcoin symbol at the bottom of the home screen, and press Sell. As with the stocks, you’ll be asked how much you want to sell and to enter your PIN.

Once you don’t have any assets left sitting in Cash App, tap your account in the upper right of the home screen, and scroll down to Support > Account & Settings > Close Your Cash App Account > Confirm.
