   The Cash Card operates like a traditional prepaid debit card. Instead of linking to a bank account, the Cash App Card links to your Cash App balance. Each time you use your Cash Card online or at a store, the amount you spend is deducted from your Cash App balance. You can use your Cash App Card anywhere that accepts Visa.

   • You can add money to your Cash App balance by depositing cash at major retailers like Walmart, Walgreens, 7-Eleven, Duane Reade, Rite Aid, Family Dollar, Pilot Travel Centers, and more), transferring money from your bank account, or receiving money from others.^[3]
   • If you make a payment exceeding the amount of your Cash App balance, the card will pull from bank account, as long as you have one linked in your Cash App.

   You can use your Cash Card at the ATM. If you need to withdraw money from your Cash Card as paper cash, you can do so at any ATM. There will be a $2.50 charge to withdraw money from an ATM, unless you set up direct deposit for your paychecks. If you receive at least $300 of direct deposit funds to your Cash Card each month, Cash App will reimburse ATM fees whenever you use the card for a withdrawal.^[4]
