Low Neutral for users

Cash App updated its terms to clarify how ACH transfers work and expanded the types of payment cards users can link. The terms now specify that deposits via bank routing number are processed as ACH transfers that take up to three business days to clear, and that money is added provisionally until the transfer fully clears. If a transfer fails or is canceled, Cash App may deduct that amount from the user's balance. Additionally, American Express cards can now be linked alongside Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. The terms also restructured and expanded the cancellation procedures for recurring transfers, distinguishing between transfers into the account (Auto Reload and Auto Save) and transfers out (merchant ACH debits), with specific merchant blocking procedures for outgoing transfers.

What this means for you

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

The updated terms clarify that ACH transfers into Cash App are processed as provisional credits that take up to three business days to fully clear. If a transfer fails, is canceled, or results from a mistake, Cash App may deduct that amount from the user's balance. The terms now explicitly state that users cannot cancel a transfer once it has begun processing. Additionally, American Express cards can now be linked to Cash App accounts. For recurring transfers, the terms distinguish between incoming transfers (Auto Reload and Auto Save) and outgoing merchant ACH debits, with specific procedures for canceling each type. You can cancel Auto Reload and Auto Save within the Cash App or by contacting support, and you can request merchant blocking to stop recurring ACH debits from specific merchants.

What you can do

→ Review the ACH transfer processing timeline (up to three business days) when expecting deposits to fully clear.

→ Use the merchant blocking feature in Cash App to cancel recurring ACH debit payments from specific merchants.

→ Contact Cash App support at (800) 969-1940 or via the Cash App Support feature to cancel Auto Reload or Auto Save transfers.

Previous text
The updated terms establish more explicit procedures for canceling recurring ACH debit payments authorized by merchants. Under the revised language, you can request merchant blocking, which will prevent all future ACH debit payments from that merchant; Cash App must receive such requests at least three business days before the scheduled transfer date. The terms also clarify that ACH transfers are credited on a provisional basis until the transaction fully clears, and that Cash App may deduct amounts from your balance if a transfer fails or is canceled. You can request merchant blocking by contacting Cash App Support or calling (800) 969-1940.
