| How To Instant Transfer Venmo To Cash App |
Step 1: Identify Your Fastest Option and Prepare Your Accounts
Before we dive into the specifics, take a moment to consider which of the following methods might be the quickest and most convenient for your situation. Also, ensure you have both your Venmo and Cash App accounts active and linked to a funding source (bank account or debit card).
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.

- Do you have a shared bank account linked to both Venmo and Cash App? This is often the fastest method.
- Are you willing to accept a slightly longer transfer time using your linked debit card? This is another common approach.
- Do you have a friend or family member who uses both platforms and is willing to act as an intermediary? This can be instant but relies on their cooperation.
Once you've considered these points, let's move on to the specific methods.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
Step 2: Utilizing a Linked Bank Account (Often the Fastest)
This method leverages the fact that both Venmo and Cash App allow you to link the same bank account.
Sub-step 2.1: Withdrawing from Venmo to Your Bank Account
- Open your Venmo app on your mobile device.
- Tap the "Me" tab, usually represented by a single person icon or your profile picture in the bottom right corner.
- You'll see your Venmo balance at the top. Tap on your Venmo balance.
- Tap the "Transfer to bank" option.
- Enter the amount you wish to transfer to Cash App.
- Select your linked bank account. If you haven't linked it yet, you'll need to do so by going to "Settings" -> "Payment Methods" -> "Add a bank or card." This process usually involves verifying your account.
- Choose your transfer speed. While Venmo offers an "instant transfer" option for a small fee (typically 1.75% with a minimum fee and a maximum fee), this instantly sends the funds to your linked debit card, not directly to Cash App. For a free transfer to your bank account, select the standard option (usually takes 1-3 business days). Since our goal is speed, we'll focus on the instant transfer to your debit card for this step, assuming your Cash App is also linked to the same debit card.
- Review the transfer details and tap "Transfer".
Sub-step 2.2: Adding Funds to Cash App from Your Linked Bank Account/Debit Card
- Open your Cash App on your mobile device.
- Tap the "Banking" tab, usually represented by a dollar sign ($) icon in the bottom left corner. 3. Tap **"Add Cash"**. 4. Enter the **amount** you want to transfer (this should be the same amount you transferred from Venmo). 5. Tap **"Add"**. 6. You'll be prompted to confirm the funding source. Ensure your **linked bank account or debit card** (the same one you used for the Venmo instant transfer, if applicable) is selected. If not, you'll need to add it by going to "Profile Settings" -> "Linked Banks & Cards." 7. Confirm the transaction with your PIN or Touch ID/Face ID if enabled. **Important Note:** While the "instant transfer" from Venmo goes to your *linked debit card* almost immediately, the time it takes for those funds to become fully available in your bank account and then subsequently in your Cash App can still vary slightly depending on your bank's processing times. ### Step 3: Utilizing a Linked Debit Card (Slightly Slower but Common) This method is similar to using a bank account but relies directly on your debit card.
