Summary

This is Cash App's main legal agreement covering every service on the platform — from sending money and using the Cash App Card to buying Bitcoin, investing in stocks, taking out loans, and using AI features. The most important thing for everyday users is that disputes must go through individual arbitration, meaning you give up your right to sue Cash App in court or join a class action lawsuit if something goes wrong with your money. You have 30 days from when you first agree to these terms to opt out of arbitration by mailing a written notice to Block, Inc., 1955 Broadway, Suite 600, Oakland, CA 94612.

Technical Summary

These Cash App Terms of Service (effective February 7, 2024, last updated March 13, 2026) constitute a binding legal agreement between users and Block, Inc. governing use of Cash App as a financial platform, encompassing peer-to-peer payments, prepaid account/debit card services, Bitcoin and stock investing, lending, remittances, mobile check capture, generative AI features, and business accounts. The most significant obligations include mandatory identity verification (KYC) for full account access, user responsibility for all transactions initiated from their device, and compliance with Cash App's Acceptable Use Policy as an incorporated term. Notably, the document imposes mandatory individual arbitration with a class action waiver, limits Cash App's liability to the greater of the fees paid in the prior 12 months or $200, and reserves the right to restrict or close accounts with or without notice, creating asymmetric risk for consumers holding balances. The document engages the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA/Regulation E), Bank Secrecy Act/AML obligations, FinCEN money services business regulations, CFPB Prepaid Account Rule (12 CFR Part 1005), SEC broker-dealer rules via Cash App Investing, FINRA regulations, state money transmitter licensing requirements, and TCPA for communications consent; material compliance considerations include the FCA's recent enforcement actions against Cash App's parent company and heightened scrutiny of arbitration clauses under CFPB rulemaking.

Consumer impact Cash App will permanently discontinue its Remittance Service on May 1, 2026, meaning users who rely on it to send money internationally must find an alternative provider before that date. Pending cash pickup payments not collected within 21 days will be automatically canceled, and all remaining pending remittances will be force-canceled by May 21, 2026, with refunds issued to senders. You can cancel any pending remittance transfers before May 1, 2026 to avoid delays and ensure you receive your refund promptly.
Why it matters Users who rely on Cash App to send money internationally have a hard deadline of May 1, 2026 to complete or cancel transfers before the service shuts down permanently. Failure to act could result in automatic cancellations and delays in recovering funds.
What changed Cash App updated their Cash App Terms of Service on March 25, 2026. Change detected: 1 sentence(s) modified. Document contained 1589 sentences after update.
Consumer impact Cash App removed the 'Your Privacy Choices' link from its Terms of Service navigation, making it less straightforward for users to find and exercise their privacy opt-out rights. This is particularly relevant for California residents who have legally protected rights to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal data. You can still access privacy settings by navigating directly to Cash App's privacy settings within the app or by visiting the Cash App Privacy Notice page.
Why it matters The 'Your Privacy Choices' link was a visible way for users, especially California residents, to exercise opt-out rights over the sale or sharing of their personal data. Its removal from the Terms of Service page reduces the visibility of this right and may signal a reduction in privacy accessibility.
