Cash App revised its identity verification procedures and account upgrade requirements. Previously, the terms stated that restricted accounts would be converted to a Prepaid or Debit Flex Account after identity verification, and that you would need to provide personal information to upgrade. The updated terms now state that Cash App may obtain and verify identity information through third-party verification services, that conversion to a full account is not guaranteed even after verification, and that you may need to provide personal information (rather than will need to). The terms also add that verification does not guarantee access to all services and that Cash App may require additional verification steps before granting access to certain accounts or services.
Consumers: Your identity information may be shared with and verified by third-party companies, not just Cash App directly.
Consumers: Even after you provide identity information, Cash App may ask for more documentation or verification before you can use certain features or account types.
Consumers: Cash App has discretion over whether to require personal information from you during account upgrade.
The updated terms establish that Cash App may obtain and verify your identity information through third-party verification services, consistent with its Privacy Notice. Previously, the terms stated that your restricted account would be converted to a Prepaid or Debit Flex Account after identity verification; the revised language now states that conversion may occur and that verification does not guarantee access to all services. Cash App also reserves the right to require additional or updated information, documentation, or verification steps before granting access to certain account types or services. You can review Cash App's Privacy Notice to understand what identity information may be collected and how third-party verification services are used.
→ Review Cash App's Privacy Notice to understand what identity information may be collected and how third-party verification services are used.
→ Be prepared to provide additional documentation or verification if Cash App requests it, as verification does not guarantee immediate access to all services.
