What is a Cash App Card?

A Cash App Card is a debit card offered by Cash App to its users and the card is directly linked to your Cash App balance. The card itself is issued by Sutton Bank, and it does not depend on other accounts to function. Cash App users can make use of the card anywhere Visa is accepted, even in stores and online shops.

Since the Cash App card is mainly a prepaid debit card, this means that it is not connected to any of your other bank accounts.
