Is there any way to cancel Cash App payment?

ByNancy Agarwal

Cash App is not used by the majority of Americans to send and receive payments instantly. With its peer to peer money transfer technology, payments are almost instant. However, in some scenarios, users might face pending transactions once in a while. But can you cancel a pending Cash App payment easily? As there is no cancel button on Cash App payment.

Cash App is a peer or peer money sending and receiving platform where you can send money with the use of $cash usernames. I have used their service in multiple locations, and all the time’s transaction experience is smooth and perfect. However, I do face some glitches where the payment is deducted from my bank account but showing pending in Cash App interface. Upon confirming, the patent was not received on the other side but deducted from my bank account.

This is a very problematic scenario as there is no cancel button to cancel the pending transaction. Since Cash App works on peer to peer network, all transactions either fall in the category of successful or failed. But for any reason, if the transaction is not completed successfully, and then it will show us pending.

How to Cancel A Pending Cash App Payment

Whenever you see a pending Cash App payment in your account, it usually occurs due to multiple issues occurring either on your bank or the receiver’s bank. Since Cash App to Cash App payments are instant so they can’t be canceled either by the sender or the receiver.

Cash App pending status means that the transaction a user is trying to make has stuck in between due to some issues. A list of such issues is down below.

  • The Cash App user is not verified.
  • Cash App user is not a valid US resident.
  • Poor internet connectivity.
  • Old app version.
  • Server issues from Bank or Cash App.
  • Lack of funds in your account.
  • Using an expired Debit card or Credit card.
  • Entered wrong details of Debit/Credit card.
  • Your account is temporarily locked.

There is no direct way to cancel any amount your send via Cash App. But do not worry, as any pending transaction amount will be refunded back to the user instantly. If not instantly, it will take 3–4 business days to revert back the amount.

In case you have not received the funds back, then you can raise a ticket on Cash App support service. This feature is available on Cash App dashboard.

Conclusion

It is not possible to cancel a pending Cash App transaction because of the peer-to-peer feature. But rest assured as your money will be safe with you. After some time, the “pending” transaction will be labeled as “failed”, and your money will revert to your account. In some cases, the amount gets credited to the recipient, and then you can ask them to refund back the amount. Also, make sure to update the app to the latest version before sending any payments to avoid such issues.
