| How To Loan Money From Cash App |
But First, You Gotta Be Eligible, Boo
Now, before you get all excited and start planning your shopping spree, there are a few things to consider. Cash App Borrow isn't exactly throwing money at everyone like it's raining confetti. You gotta be a responsible and frequent user of the app. Think of it like building trust with a friend before you ask them to lend you twenty bucks (because, let's be real, who even carries cash anymore?).

Here's the lowdown on eligibility (according to Cash App, not me, I'm just the hilarious narrator):
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.![]()
- You gotta be at least 18 years old (no borrowing for your younger siblings, sorry!).
- You need a linked bank account (because magic needs a power source, and in this case, it's your actual money).
- You gotta have a good history with Cash App, meaning you use it regularly and haven't violated any terms and conditions (be good, or no loan for you!).
Okay, I'm In! Now How Do I Borrow?
Glad you asked! It's actually pretty simple, even for those of us who are financially challenged (myself included). Here's the play-by-play:
QuickTip: Skim for bold or italicized words.![]()
- Open your Cash App and tap that beautiful "Banking" tab. It's like the Bat-Signal for your borrowing needs.
- If you see a glorious "Borrow" option, congratulations! You're eligible. Do a little victory dance, but keep it quiet, you don't want to scare the virtual money away.
- Tap on "Borrow" and then "Unlock" if needed. This is like taking the key to the treasure chest (except the treasure is a small loan, but hey, it's something!).
- Choose your borrowing amount wisely, grasshopper. Remember, with great borrowing power comes great repayment responsibility. The max is $200, so don't get carried away thinking you're suddenly financing your dream vacation.
- Pick your repayment plan. Do you want to be "responsible Ruth" and pay it back in four equal installments over four weeks? Or are you more of a "live in the moment Larry" who prefers bi-weekly payments until it's all gone? Choose wisely, my friend.
- Review the terms and conditions carefully. This isn't the time to be skimming like you're reading the grocery store receipt. This is real money, folks!
- If you're cool with everything, tap that "Borrow Instantly" button and voila! The money gets deposited into your Cash App. Now you can finally buy that (insert affordable item here) you've been wanting.
Remember, borrowing from Cash App is a temporary solution, not a free money machine. Use it responsibly, pay it back on time, and you'll be back in the good graces of the financial gods (and Cash App) in no time. Now go forth and conquer your temporary financial woes, my friend!
