Both Venmo and Cash App are primarily designed for peer-to-peer transfers, positioning them as competitors in the market. However, collaboration between competitors can lead to remarkable outcomes. And one such outcome that users often wonder about is how to transfer money from Venmo to Cash App.
Unfortunately, there is no direct method for transferring money from Venmo to Cash App since you won’t find a Send to Cash App option when using the former. Nevertheless, there are several indirect ways available. You can transfer money from Venmo to Cash App through direct deposit, by using the Cash Card feature, or by linking your Venmo and Cash App accounts to a bank account, which serves as an intermediary.
Can you transfer money from Venmo to Cash App?
You can’t officially transfer money from Venmo to Cash App—these two apps do not have direct support for each other. Although there is a walk-around, you can’t transfer money from your Venmo account to another person’s Cash App but you can if you have two personal accounts on both Venmo and Cash App.
So, while Venmo has no special button or tab for “Send to Cash App”, it is still possible to fund your Cash App. We have covered various methods in this publication.

What are my fees?
You have the option of an instant transfer to your eligible bank account or Cah App Cash Card. This type of transfer carries a 1.75% fee, with a minimum charge of $0.25 and a maximum charge of $25 deducted from the transfer amount for each transaction. Typically, the funds arrive within 30 minutes. For more details, please refer to the provided information.
Alternatively, you can choose a standard transfer through the ACH network to your verified checking account. This transfer method is free of charge, but it usually takes 1-3 business days for the funds to arrive after you initiate the transfer.
Why is Venmo rejecting my Cash App Cash Card?
Venmo keeps declining your Cash App Cash Card due to:
- Your bank, Visa, or Cash App is declining the transaction.
- Your payment triggered Venmo’s automated security flags.
If your payment is funded by Cash Card, reach out to Cash App, your bank, or card issuer directly. If your bank, Cash App, or card issuer is declining the transaction, Venmo help.
Your best bet is to use a different payment method such as a different card or bank account.
