| How To Take Money Off Paypal And Put It On Cash App |
Method 1: Using Your Bank Account as an Intermediary
This is generally the most straightforward and often the cheapest method, although it might take a little time.
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
Step 1: Link Your Bank Account to Both PayPal and Cash App
This is the foundational step for this method. You'll need to ensure the same bank account is linked to both your PayPal and Cash App accounts.
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
Sub-step 1.1: Linking Your Bank Account to PayPal
- Log in to your PayPal account on a web browser or through the PayPal app.
- Navigate to your Wallet or Linked Accounts section. This is usually found in your profile settings or on the main dashboard.
- Click on "Link a bank account."
- Follow the prompts to search for your bank and enter your bank account details (routing number and account number).
- PayPal may ask you to confirm your bank account. This often involves them making small deposits into your account (typically a few cents each) which you'll need to identify and confirm within your PayPal account.
Sub-step 1.2: Linking Your Bank Account to Cash App
- Open your Cash App on your mobile device.
- Tap on the profile icon (usually a picture or initial) in the top right corner.
- Select "Linked Banks."
- Tap on "Link Bank."
- Follow the on-screen instructions to select your bank and enter your bank account details. Cash App may use Plaid or a similar service to securely link your account.
Step 2: Transfer Funds from PayPal to Your Linked Bank Account
Once your bank account is linked to PayPal, you can initiate a withdrawal.
-
Log in to your PayPal account.
-
Go to your Wallet or your PayPal balance.
-
Click on "Withdraw Funds" or a similar option.
-
Select your linked bank account as the destination.
-
Enter the amount you want to transfer.
-
Review the details and click "Withdraw" or "Transfer."
- Note: PayPal may have fees associated with instant transfers, while standard transfers usually take 1-3 business days to appear in your bank account.
Step 3: Add Funds from Your Bank Account to Cash App
After the funds have arrived in your linked bank account, you can then add them to your Cash App balance.
-
Open your Cash App.
-
Tap on the "$" icon** at the bottom of the screen. 3. Enter the **amount** you want to add. 4. Tap **"Add Cash."** 5. Confirm the transaction. Cash App will typically pull the funds from your linked bank account instantly. ## Method 2: Using a Debit Card as an Intermediary (If Applicable) This method *might* be possible depending on your specific circumstances and the cards you have linked to each platform. ### Step 1: Link a Debit Card to Both PayPal and Cash App Similar to the bank account method, you'll need a debit card linked to both services. Ideally, this would be a debit card associated with a bank account you control.
