What this means for you

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.

What you can do

If you wish to stop a recurring ACH debit payment from a merchant, you can request merchant blocking through Cash App Support or by calling (800) 969-1940; submit requests at least three business days before the scheduled transfer date.

You can link an American Express card to your Cash App account if previously you could only link Visa, MasterCard, or Discover.
