It looks like you're trying to move money from your Credit Karma account directly to Cash App. Let's explore the possibilities and figure out the best way to get this done!
Unfortunately, directly transferring funds from Credit Karma to Cash App isn't a standard feature. Credit Karma primarily focuses on credit monitoring, tax preparation, and offering access to checking and savings accounts through partner banks. Cash App, on the other hand, is designed for peer-to-peer money transfers and offers its own set of features like direct deposits, investing, and more.
However, don't worry! There are a few workarounds you can use to get your money where you need it. Let's break them down step by step:
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
Step 1: Identify the Source of Your Funds in Credit Karma
First things first, where exactly is the money you want to transfer located within your Credit Karma ecosystem?
- Is it in a Credit Karma Checking Account? If you've opened a checking account through Credit Karma (provided by MVB Bank, Inc.), this is the most straightforward scenario.
- Is it a Tax Refund deposited into a Credit Karma Money™ account? Similar to the checking account, if your tax refund landed here, it's relatively easy to move.
- Is it related to some other Credit Karma service? Credit Karma doesn't typically hold funds outside of their checking and savings account offerings or the temporary holding of tax refunds.
Once you've identified the source, we can move on to the relevant steps.
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.

- Open your Cash App.
- Tap the "Banking" tab.
- Scroll down and tap on "Linked Banks" or "Add Bank."

- Go back to the Cash App home screen.
- Tap the **"$"** icon. * Enter the amount you want to add. * Tap **"Add Cash."** * Confirm that your linked Credit Karma Checking Account is selected as the funding source. * Tap **"Add."**
