How to Delete Cash App Account Permanently
Quick answer
To permanently delete your Cash App account, first cash out or transfer your entire balance to zero, then go to your profile icon > Support > Something Else > Account Settings > Close My Cash App Account, and confirm. Once confirmed, your account is closed immediately and you'll get an email confirming the deletion — this action cannot be undone.

Closing your Cash App account permanently removes your access to the app, disconnects any linked Cash Card, and erases your ability to send or receive money through it. You can’t reopen a closed account later — if you ever want Cash App again, you’ll need to sign up fresh with your details. The whole process takes about two minutes and is done entirely from your phone.

Step 1: Cash Out or Transfer Your Full Balance

Cash App won’t let you close an account that still holds money. Open your balance tab and either cash out to your linked bank account or send the remaining funds to someone else. Your balance needs to show $0.00 before you can move forward.

Conclusion

Following these seven steps permanently closes your Cash App account, cutting off access to the app and any linked Cash Card. Keep in mind that while the account itself is gone, Cash App may retain some transaction records for a period as required by financial regulations — this is standard for any payment platform and doesn’t mean your account is still active. Once you get the confirmation email, the deletion is complete.
