| How To Transfer Money On Venmo To Cash App |
Method 1: Using a Bank Account as an Intermediary
This is often the most straightforward and commonly used method if you have a linked bank account to both your Venmo and Cash App accounts.
Step 1: Transfer Funds from Venmo to Your Bank Account
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.
- Open your Venmo app. Locate the Venmo app icon on your phone (it's usually a blue "V") and tap to open it.
- Access your funds. Look for your Venmo balance, usually displayed on the main screen. Tap on it to view your available balance.
- Initiate the transfer. You'll likely see an option like "Transfer to bank" or a similar phrase. Tap on this option.
- Select the amount. Enter the amount of money you wish to transfer from your Venmo balance to your bank account.
- Choose your linked bank account. Verify that the correct bank account is selected. If you have multiple linked accounts, ensure you choose the one you want to use.
- Select transfer speed. Venmo usually offers two options:
- Instant Transfer: This is typically faster (often within minutes but can take up to a few hours) but usually incurs a small fee.
- Standard Transfer: This option is free but takes 1-3 business days to process.
- Confirm the transfer. Review the details carefully – the amount, the bank account, and the transfer speed – and then tap "Transfer" or a similar confirmation button. You might be asked to confirm with your fingerprint, Face ID, or Venmo PIN.
Step 2: Transfer Funds from Your Bank Account to Cash App
- Open your Cash App. Find the green Cash App icon with a dollar sign () at the bottom of the screen. Tap on it.
- Enter the amount. Type in the amount of money you want to transfer from your bank account to your Cash App balance.
- Select your linked bank account. You'll be prompted to choose a funding source. Ensure your linked bank account is selected. If it's not already linked, you'll need to add it by providing your bank details (routing and account number) following the on-screen instructions.
- Confirm the transaction. Review the amount and the selected bank account, then tap "Add" or a similar confirmation button. The funds will typically be available in your Cash App balance within minutes to a few business days, depending on your bank and Cash App's processing times.
Method 2: Using a Debit Card as an Intermediary
This method is similar to using a bank account but utilizes a debit card linked to both platforms.

- Open your Cash App.
- Access "Add Cash". Tap on the "$" icon. * **Enter the amount.** Type the amount you want to add to Cash App. * **Select your linked debit card.** When prompted for a funding source, choose the *same* debit card you transferred the money to from Venmo. If it's not linked, add it by providing the card details. * **Confirm the transaction.** Tap "**Add**". The funds should appear in your Cash App balance relatively quickly. ## Important Considerations * **Fees:** Be aware of potential fees, especially for instant transfers on Venmo. Cash App might also have fees for certain types of transactions, though adding cash from a linked bank account or debit card is usually free. * **Transfer Limits:** Both Venmo and Cash App have daily and weekly transfer limits. Make sure the amount you're trying to transfer falls within these limits. You can usually find information about your limits within the settings of each app. * **Processing Times:** Standard bank transfers can take 1-3 business days on either platform. Instant transfers are faster but come with a fee. * **Linked Accounts/Cards:** You'll need to have a valid bank account or debit card linked to *both* your Venmo and Cash App accounts for these methods to work. Ensure your linked information is up-to-date. * **Security:** Always double-check the recipient details and the amounts before confirming any transfer. Be cautious of scams and only transfer money to people you trust. ## Troubleshooting Common Issues * **Bank/Card Not Linked:** If you can't see your bank account or debit card as an option, you'll need to link it first within the respective app's settings. * **Transfer Failed:** If a transfer fails, check your account balances, ensure you have sufficient funds, and verify your linked bank/card information. Contact customer support for the respective app if the issue persists. * **Delayed Transfers:** Standard transfers can take time. Be patient and allow the full processing time to elapse before contacting support. ## How to Transfer Money on Venmo to Cash App - Frequently Asked Questions Here are 10 frequently asked questions about transferring money from Venmo to Cash App: **How to** check my Venmo balance? *Quick Answer:* Open the Venmo app; your balance is usually displayed on the main screen. **How to** link a bank account to Venmo? *Quick Answer:* Go to your profile, tap the three horizontal lines (menu), select "Payment Methods," and then "Add bank or card."
