Bridging the Gap: Moving PayPal Funds to Cash App
While a direct transfer feature between PayPal and Cash App isn't currently available, we can utilize intermediary steps to achieve our goal. Here are the primary methods you can use:

| How To Move Paypal Money To Cash App |
Sub-heading: Linking Your Bank Account to PayPal
- Log in to your PayPal account: Open your web browser or the PayPal mobile app and enter your credentials to access your account.
- Navigate to the "Wallet" or "Linked Accounts" section: This is usually found in your account settings or on the main dashboard. Look for options related to banks and cards.
- Click on "Link a bank account": You'll be prompted to enter your bank's routing number and account number.
- Verify your bank account: PayPal will typically send two small deposits to your bank account (usually under ₹1). You'll need to confirm these amounts in your PayPal account to complete the linking process. This might take a few business days.
Sub-heading: Linking the Same Bank Account to Cash App
- Open your Cash App: Launch the Cash App on your mobile device.
- Tap the "Banking" tab: This is usually represented by a dollar sign ($) icon at the bottom of the screen. 3. **Select "Linked Banks":** You might need to navigate through "Add Bank" or similar options. 4. **Enter your bank details:** Provide the same routing number and account number that you linked to your PayPal account. 5. **Follow the verification steps:** Cash App may also require you to verify your bank account, often through Plaid or a similar service, which usually involves logging into your online banking through the Cash App interface. ### Sub-heading: Transferring Funds from PayPal to Your Bank Account 1. **Go to your PayPal "Wallet":** Once logged in, locate your PayPal balance. 2. **Click on "Transfer Money":** You'll see options to send money or transfer to a bank. Select the latter. 3. **Choose your linked bank account:** Select the bank account you just linked. 4. **Enter the amount you want to transfer:** Specify the amount you wish to move to your bank. 5. **Review and confirm the transfer:** Double-check the details and click "Transfer Now" or a similar button. *Note that standard transfers can take 1-3 business days. Instant transfers are usually available for a fee.* ### Sub-heading: Adding Funds from Your Bank Account to Cash App 1. **Open your Cash App and tap the "Banking" tab ($).**
- Select "Add Cash": This option allows you to add funds to your Cash App balance.
- Enter the amount you want to add: Specify the amount you transferred from PayPal to your bank.
- Confirm the transaction: Review the amount and tap "Add." The funds should be available in your Cash App balance shortly after the bank transfer clears.
Step 2: Utilizing a Debit Card as an Intermediary (Limited)
While less direct and potentially involving more fees, you might be able to use a debit card linked to your PayPal account to add funds to Cash App in some instances. However, this functionality can be limited and may not always be available.
Sub-heading: Linking Your Debit Card to PayPal (If not already done)
- Follow similar steps as linking a bank account in PayPal, but choose the "Link a card" option.
- Enter your debit card details (card number, expiry date, CVV).
Sub-heading: Attempting to Add Funds to Cash App Using the Linked Debit Card
- In Cash App, navigate to "Add Cash."
- Enter the desired amount.
- When prompted for a funding source, see if your PayPal-linked debit card is an available option.
- If it is, select it and confirm the transaction.
Keep in mind that Cash App's policies on adding funds via debit cards can vary, and cards linked to certain platforms might not be accepted. This method is less reliable than the bank account method.
Step 3: Exploring Peer-to-Peer Transfers (More Complex and Involves Trust)
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
This method is less direct and relies on having a trusted friend or family member who uses both platforms.
Sub-heading: Sending Money from PayPal to Your Contact
- Use PayPal to send the desired amount to your trusted contact's PayPal account.
Sub-heading: Receiving Money on Cash App from Your Contact
- Have your contact then send the equivalent amount from their Cash App account to your Cash App account.
This method involves trust and potential fees on either platform for sending or receiving money. It's generally not recommended for regular transfers due to the added complexity and reliance on another person.
Important Considerations:
- Fees: Be aware that both PayPal and your bank might charge fees for certain types of transfers, especially instant transfers. Cash App also has fees for instant deposits to your linked bank account. Factor these potential costs into your decision.
- Transfer Limits: Both PayPal and Cash App have daily, weekly, and monthly transfer limits. Ensure your desired transfer amount falls within these limits.
- Verification: Both platforms require account verification for security purposes. Make sure your accounts are fully verified to avoid any issues with linking or transferring funds.
- Timing: Standard bank transfers can take 1-3 business days to process. If you need the funds urgently, explore options for faster transfers, keeping the associated fees in mind.
- Security: Always ensure you are using secure networks and official apps when handling financial transactions. Be cautious of any third-party services claiming to offer direct PayPal to Cash App transfers, as these may be scams.
