The agreement requires most disputes between you and Cash App to be resolved through individual arbitration rather than through a court. This means you generally give up the right to have a judge or jury decide your case.
This analysis describes what Cash App's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The provision functions as a notice mechanism requiring users to acknowledge awareness of dispute resolution and liability cap provisions. It establishes that arbitration and liability limitations are material contractual terms that users are expected to review prior to accepting the agreement.
Interpretive note: Enforceability of the class action waiver and arbitration clause may vary by jurisdiction, particularly in states with consumer protection statutes that impose additional requirements.
The updated terms introduce a new stablecoin withdrawal feature that allows Cash App users to convert USD to stablecoins and send them to external blockchain addresses. Under the revised language, users do not acquire ownership or title to stablecoins; Cash App or its partners retain full control until delivery to the specified address. Critically, the terms state that withdrawals cannot be reversed or refunded once initiated on the blockchain, and sending assets to unsupported networks or incorrect addresses will result in permanent and irreversible loss of funds. Users are solely responsible for verifying accurate withdrawal instructions and compatible network addresses before initiating transfers.
View change record →The updated terms increase the Foreign Transaction Fee from 3% to 3.25% and narrow the circumstances under which this fee is waived. Previously, users who spent $500+ monthly or received $300+ in deposits waived the entire Foreign Transaction Fee. Under the revised terms, the fee waiver now applies only to card-present (in-person) transactions, meaning online and card-not-present international purchases remain subject to the fee without a waiver path. Users making qualifying purchases or deposits still receive fee waivers, but only for in-person international card transactions through the end of the following calendar month.
View change record →The updated terms state that Cash App will discontinue its Remittance Service effective May 1, 2026. Any remittance payment still pending on or after May 1, 2026 will continue to be processed unless the sender cancels the transfer. However, any remittance payment sent via cash pickup that is not picked up within 21 days will be automatically canceled, and all remittance payments remaining in pending state on May 21, 2026 will be automatically canceled and refunded to the sender. Additionally, for California residents with Cash App Cards, the gift card cash redemption threshold was increased from $10 to $15. You can cancel pending remittance transfers before May 1, 2026 to manage the transition.
View change record →Under this provision, users who do not opt out within 30 days of agreeing to the terms must resolve most disputes with Block, Inc. through individual arbitration rather than in court, and cannot participate in class action lawsuits against Cash App.

"Please note that you should review all Cash App Terms carefully, including those provisions which limit our liability (see Section XXIII.17) and those regarding individual arbitration for potential legal disputes (see Sections XXIII.19 and XXIII.20).— Excerpt from Cash App's Cash App Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Mandatory arbitration clauses in consumer financial services contracts engage the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), which generally permits such clauses, and CFPB authority under Dodd-Frank to regulate arbitration in consumer financial products. The CFPB has historically scrutinized class action waivers in consumer financial contracts. State consumer protection statutes in California, New Jersey, and other jurisdictions may limit enforceability of arbitration clauses in consumer contracts, and legal teams should evaluate jurisdiction-specific exposure. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The combination of mandatory individual arbitration and a class action waiver represents a significant limitation on users' access to collective redress mechanisms. The 30-day opt-out window requires affirmative action by users and creates an operationally narrow disclosure obligation at account creation. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California courts have periodically scrutinized class action waivers under the Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) and unfair competition law. New York and other states may apply public policy limitations on arbitration clauses in consumer financial contracts. EU and UK users are not addressed by this provision as the document is US-specific. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: B2B and enterprise customers using Cash App Business Accounts are also subject to this arbitration clause unless they opt out within the required window. The clause asserts a liability shift away from class-based proceedings, which may affect risk assessments for corporate treasury or vendor payment use cases. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal and compliance teams should verify that the 30-day opt-out mechanism is clearly disclosed at account creation in a manner that satisfies consumer protection notice standards, and that internal dispute resolution processes accommodate the arbitration pathway. Periodic review of CFPB rulemaking on arbitration is advisable given the regulatory activity in this area.
