It’s easy to get a Cash Card through the Cash App, where you can customize the color and signature.
Cash App, like Venmo, is a peer-to-peer payment app that allows you to pay your friends as well as request money from them. This is incredibly useful for splitting meals, buying concert tickets, chipping in for group presents, and more.
When you receive money on Cash App, your balance remains on the app until you transfer it to your bank account, which can take a couple of days. However, if you want to use your balance to shop in stores, without having to wait for it to transfer, all you need to do is apply for a Cash Card — the app’s debit card.
The card is free, customizable, and super easy to apply for, though you have to be 18 or older to apply for it. Once you get your card, you can use it wherever Visa cards are accepted. It can also let you pick “Boosts” to give you great deals on everyday purchases, like coffee, DoorDash, Lyft, and more.
Here’s how to sign up for your Cash Card.
