In this article, we explain how to get your money back when a payment on Cash App is “pending.” Whether you sent money to the wrong person or your transaction is stuck, don’t worry; we have compiled all the steps for you.
How To Get Money Back From Cash App If Pending?
Here are the steps you need to follow:
Open the Cash App:
First, you need to open the Cash App application. If you are using it on a browser, log in and go directly to the Activity tab. On the web version, this tab is located in the top left corner. In the phone app, you can see it in the bottom right part of the screen.
Check the Transaction Status:
If you have a pending transaction here, it will appear with a small clock icon. You can track all past and current transactions from here. (Since my account is new, no transactions are visible right now.) However, if “pending” is written under a transaction on your screen, you just need to tap on it to see the details. This is because Cash App might sometimes require you to take an additional step; for example, to approve the payment request or verify some information.
Understand “Pending”:
The “pending” status usually means the payment is still being processed or is waiting for the recipient to accept it. Network congestion or verification checks can also cause the transaction to be delayed.
Contact Support for Long Waits:
So, what if the payment remains pending for a very long time? In such a case, you can contact the Cash App support team. Tap the profile icon and go to the Support section. Here, you can see the relevant topics related to payments and pending transactions. Normally, Cash App payments are instant, but setbacks can sometimes occur. If a payment remains pending for 24 hours, the system will automatically cancel it, and the transaction will appear as “failed.”
Refresh or Get Live Help:
If it still shows as “waiting to complete,” you can pull down the screen to refresh and update the transaction status. If you wish, you can get support from Cash App live chat or contact them by phone.
