- Do you have a linked bank account to both your Cash App and Venmo accounts? This is often the simplest and most direct indirect method.
- Do you have a debit card linked to your Cash App? This can also be used in some of the methods below.
- Are you willing to use a third-party service or intermediary? While less direct, some options exist.
- How quickly do you need the funds to reach the Venmo user? Some methods are faster than others.
- Are there any fees associated with the methods you are considering? Be mindful of potential transaction costs.
Step 2: Verify Linked Bank Accounts
-
Sub-heading: Check Your Cash App Linked Accounts:
- Open your Cash App.
- Tap the profile icon (usually a person or your initial) in the top right corner.
- Select "Linked Banks & Cards".
- Review the list of your linked bank accounts. Ensure the bank account you want to use is listed. If not, you'll need to add it by tapping "Add Bank" and following the on-screen instructions.
-
Sub-heading: Check Your Venmo Linked Accounts:
- Open your Venmo app.
- Tap the "☰" menu icon (usually in the top left or bottom right corner).
- Select "Payment Methods".
- Review the list of your linked bank accounts. Ensure the same bank account you identified in Cash App is linked here. If not, tap "Add bank or card..." and follow the prompts to link it.
Step 3: Transfer Funds from Cash App to Your Bank Account
- Sub-heading: Initiate the Cash Out:
- On your Cash App home screen, you'll see your current balance. Tap on it.
- Tap the "Cash Out" button.
- Enter the amount you want to transfer to the Venmo user.
- Tap "Cash Out" again.
- Confirm the linked bank account as the destination. You might have options for "Standard" (free, usually takes 1-3 business days) or "Instant" (small fee). Choose the option that suits your needs.
- Confirm the transaction with your PIN or Touch ID/Face ID if prompted.
Step 4: Send Funds from Your Bank Account to the Venmo User via Venmo
- Sub-heading: Initiate the Venmo Payment:
- Open your Venmo app.
- Tap the "Pay or Request" button (usually a "+" sign or a pencil icon).
- Search for the Venmo user's username, phone number, or email address.
- Enter the amount you want to send.
- Add a description of the payment (optional but helpful).
- Ensure the funding source is your linked bank account (it should be selected by default if it's your primary method). If not, tap on the payment method and choose the correct bank account.
- Tap "Pay".
Method 2: Using a Debit Card Linked to Cash App (Potentially Faster)
If you have a Cash App debit card, you might be able to use it as a funding source on Venmo, although this is not always guaranteed and can sometimes incur fees depending on Venmo's policies.
Step 5: Link Your Cash App Debit Card to Venmo (If Possible)
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.
-
Sub-heading: Attempt to Add Card on Venmo:
- Open your Venmo app.
- Tap the "☰" menu icon.
- Select "Payment Methods".
- Tap "Add bank or card..." and choose "Debit or credit card".
- Enter the details of your Cash App debit card (card number, expiration date, CVV).
- Tap "Add".
-
Important Note: Venmo might not accept all prepaid debit cards, including the Cash App card. If it's not accepted, you'll need to use Method 1.
Step 6: Send Funds via Venmo Using the Linked Cash App Card (If Successful)
- Sub-heading: Initiate Payment with the Card:
- Follow steps 2-4 of Method 1 to initiate a payment to the Venmo user.
- Before tapping "Pay", ensure that the funding source is your linked Cash App debit card. If not, tap on the payment method and select the card.
- Tap "Pay".
Method 3: Using a Third-Party Service (Less Direct and Potentially Involving Fees)
Some third-party services or money transfer apps might facilitate moving funds between different platforms, but this is generally less common and could involve fees and additional steps. We won't detail specific third-party services here as their availability and terms can change. If you explore this option, be sure to research the service thoroughly for reliability and fees.
Method 4: The "Ask the Other Person" Method (Simplest in Some Cases)
Sometimes the simplest solution is to communicate directly.
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.

Step 7: Coordinate with the Venmo User
 |
- Sub-heading: Discuss Payment Options:
- Explain that you primarily use Cash App.
- Ask if they also have Cash App or a linked bank account that you could send money to directly.
- Alternatively, discuss if they are comfortable temporarily sharing their bank account details (with appropriate caution on both sides) for a direct transfer from your bank after you cash out from Cash App (as described in Method 1).
Important Considerations:
- Timing: Transfers between bank accounts can take 1-3 business days. Instant transfers on Cash App usually have a fee.
- Fees: Be aware of potential fees associated with instant transfers on Cash App or if Venmo charges a fee for using a debit card as a funding source (this is less common but can occur).
- Security: Always be cautious when linking bank accounts or sharing financial information. Ensure you are using the official apps and secure networks.
- Limits: Both Cash App and Venmo have transaction limits. Be sure your transfer amount is within these limits.
Now, let's address some frequently asked questions:
