How to send money from Cash App to Venmo with bank account
If you have a bank account, then you’re halfway through. All you need to do is to follow the steps below:
1. Linking your bank account
The first step in our money transfer odyssey is to ensure your bank account is properly linked to both Cash App and Venmo. This will enable seamless transfers between the two platforms without any hiccups.
a. Open Cash App and Tap on the profile icon
Locate the Cash App icon on your smartphone and tap on it to open the app. Once inside, you’ll find a profile icon usually represented by a circular image or your initials.
b. Tap “Banking” and select “Add a Bank”
Within the profile settings, look for the “Banking” option and tap on it. From the list of options that appear, choose “Add a Bank.”¹ Cash App will guide you through the process of linking your bank account. Follow the prompts and enter the necessary information. You can even link your Cash App to bank withdout card.
c. Repeat the process in Venmo
Now that your bank account is linked to Cash App, repeat the same process within the Venmo app. Open Venmo, access your profile settings, and locate the option to add a bank account. Enter the required information and complete the linking process.²
