Collection of Financial Account and Payment Card Data

High severity

What it is

Cash App collects your bank account numbers, payment card numbers, and Cash App Card details when you add them to your account.

Why it matters

Storing full bank account and card numbers with a payments platform creates financial risk if the platform is breached or your account is compromised.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

Collection and storage of bank account and payment card numbers triggers PCI DSS compliance obligations and GLBA safeguards requirements. Compliance teams should assess Cash App's tokenization practices, breach response protocols, and third-party processor agreements.

Consumer impact

Cash App collects highly sensitive personal data including biometric facial scans, Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, geolocation, and detailed transaction histories, and shares this information with affiliates, advertisers, financial partners, and law enforcement. Users have limited ability to opt out of certain data uses, particularly marketing and behavioral profiling, though state residents (e.g. California, Colorado) may have broader rights including data deletion and opt-out of data sharing. You can submit a data access, deletion, or opt-out request through Cash App's privacy request portal at https://cash.app/legal/us/en-us/privacy.

What you can do

āš ļø These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Open Cash App, go to your profile, select 'Linked Banks' or payment methods, and remove any bank accounts or cards you no longer wish to have stored.

Applicable agencies

  • CFPB
    The CFPB has supervisory authority over payment processors and can investigate improper handling of consumer financial account data.
