Had enough of using Cash App for money transfers? Here's how to delete your account.

You can delete your Cash App account from the Account Settings page on an iPhone, iPad, or Android.
Before you delete your account, make sure to transfer any remaining funds to your bank account.
You should permanently delete your Cash App account before you delete the app on your device.

Cash App is useful for transferring money easily to friends, family, or other contacts directly from your phone, similar to Venmo.

However, since Cash App is linked to your bank account, if you want to delete it — whether because you found another app you like better, or because you don't use it anymore — you can't simply delete it from your home screen like a regular app.

To get rid of Cash App, you need to permanently delete your account before you delete the app itself. Here's how to delete your Cash App account on iPhone, iPad, or Android.

How to delete your Cash App account

1. Open Cash App on your iOS or Android device. The app icon is green with a white dollar sign.

2. If you have any money in your account, be sure to transfer it to your bank before you continue. Do this by tapping the Banking icon (which looks like a house, or a bank) in the bottom-left corner, then tapping Cash Out. If you have any stocks or bitcoin, you need to sell them off before you can close your account.

On the Banking tab, tap "Cash Out." Grace Eliza Goodwin/Insider

3. Tap the account icon (which looks like a silhouette of a person in a circle) in the upper-right corner.

Select "Close my Cash App Account." Grace Eliza Goodwin/Insider

8. Tap Confirm. This will sign you out of the Cash App. A text or email confirmation will be sent to you confirming that you've unlinked your account. Make sure you get this email before you delete the app.

What happens if I uninstall Cash App?

Your account is now permanently deleted. With your Cash App account deleted, your transaction history is as well. Don't forget to delete the mobile app from your iPhone or from Android.

Does uninstalling Cash App delete your account?

To get rid of Cash App, you need to permanently delete your account before you delete the app itself. Here's how to delete your Cash App account on iPhone, iPad, or Android. Quick tip: After you've deleted your account, you can always create another account with the same email address, phone number, and bank account.

Can you delete Cash App and reinstall it?

The easiest way is to tap and hold the app, then tap Uninstall. At this point, you've emptied your Cash App balance, closed your account, and deleted the app from your phone. If you ever decide to use Cash App again, you'll need to sign up for a new Cash App account and reinstall the app.

Can you lose money in Cash App?

While Cash App can take the place of a traditional bank account, you should be aware of the service's primary shortcomings: First and foremost, money held in your Cash App account is not FDIC insured, which means that your entire balance is vulnerable if Cash App were to lose your money or shut down unexpectedly.
