Cash App revised its identity verification procedures to permit third-party verification services and made identity verification conditions more flexible. Previously, the terms stated that restricted accounts would automatically convert to full accounts after identity verification; the updated language states conversion may occur depending on verification outcomes and allows Cash App to require additional verification steps before granting access to certain account types or services. The revised terms establish that verifying your identity does not guarantee access to all services.
Consumers: Cash App can now use third-party companies to verify your identity and may deny account upgrades or service access even after verifying your identity.
The updated terms establish that Cash App may obtain and verify your identity information through third-party verification services. The terms now state that identity verification may not guarantee access to all services, and Cash App may require additional or updated information or verification steps before granting access to certain account types or services. Previously, the terms implied that successful identity verification would result in conversion to a full account; the revised language makes account conversion conditional and permits Cash App to withhold access pending further verification.
