Your Cash App account number is in the Settings menu, under your profile name
Open Cash App and tap the profile icon (a circle with your picture or initials) in the top left corner. Tap "Settings" at the bottom of that menu. Scroll down until you see a section labeled with your name or "Account". Your Cash App account number — sometimes called your tag or $Cashtag — appears there. It starts with a dollar sign and is the unique name you chose when you set up your account, like $JennySmith or $MarcusC.
This is different from your bank account number. Your Cash App account number is what other people use to send you money. Your bank account number is what Cash App uses to move money between your Cash App balance and your actual bank account.
If you cannot find it in Settings, check the home screen. Many users see their $Cashtag displayed at the top of the main Cash App page, right above the "Pay" and "Request" buttons.
Key Takeaways
- Your Cash App account number is your $Cashtag, which you create when you first set up the app and appears in your Settings menu.
- Your $Cashtag is what you give to other people so they can send you money — it is not the same as your bank account number.
- You can also see your $Cashtag on the Cash App home screen, usually displayed prominently near the top.
- If you want to change your $Cashtag, you can do that in Settings, though Cash App limits how often you can change it.
The difference between your $Cashtag and your bank account number
Cash App uses two different numbers for two different purposes. Your $Cashtag is a public identifier — the name you share with friends, family, or anyone who wants to send you money through Cash App. It is like a username. Your bank account number is private information that Cash App needs to connect your app to your actual bank.
When someone sends you money on Cash App, they use your $Cashtag. When you cash out your Cash App balance to your bank account, Cash App uses your bank account number behind the scenes. You do not need to share your bank account number with anyone to use Cash App.
How to find your bank account number linked to Cash App
If you need to know which bank account is connected to your Cash App, open the app and tap your profile icon. Go to "Settings", then scroll to "Linked Bank Accounts" or "Transfers". You will see the bank name and the last four digits of the account number connected to your Cash App.
Cash App does not display your full bank account number in the app for security reasons. If you need your complete bank account number for something outside of Cash App — like setting up direct deposit or paying a bill — you will need to contact your bank directly or log into your bank's website or app.
What to do if you cannot find your account information
If your profile icon is not visible, make sure you are logged into Cash App. If you are logged in but still cannot see your $Cashtag in Settings, your account may not be fully set up yet. Cash App requires some basic information before your $Cashtag becomes active.
If you set up Cash App but never created a $Cashtag, you can add one in Settings. Tap your profile icon, go to Settings, and look for an option to "Create $Cashtag" or "Add $Cashtag". Choose a name that is not already taken by another Cash App user.
If you have forgotten your $Cashtag or cannot access your account at all, you may need to contact Cash App support. Open the app, tap your profile icon, scroll to the bottom, and tap "Support" or "Contact Us". Describe what you need, and Cash App will walk you through next steps.
Changing your $Cashtag if you want a different one
You can change your $Cashtag, but Cash App limits how often. Go to your profile icon, tap "Settings", find your account section, and look for an option to edit or change your $Cashtag. Choose a new name and confirm the change.
Keep in mind that if you change your $Cashtag, the old one becomes available for someone else to use. Anyone who had your old $Cashtag written down will not be able to send you money using it anymore. Tell people who regularly send you money about the change so they have your new $Cashtag.
Why Cash App asks for account information
Cash App needs your $Cashtag so other users can find and send you money. It needs your bank account number so it can move money between your Cash App balance and your actual bank. It needs your personal information — name, date of birth, address — to follow federal rules about money movement and to prevent fraud.
The more information you provide to Cash App, the higher your sending and receiving limits become. A new account with minimal information has lower limits. As you verify more details, Cash App raises what you can send and receive in a day or week.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my $Cashtag the same as my account number?
Your $Cashtag is your Cash App account number — it is the public name people use to send you money. It is not the same as your bank account number, which is private information Cash App uses to connect to your bank.
Can someone send me money if they only have my $Cashtag?
Yes. Your $Cashtag is all someone needs to send you money on Cash App. You do not have to share your bank account number, phone number, or any other private information with them.
What if I do not want a $Cashtag?
You can use Cash App without creating a $Cashtag, but other people will not be able to send you money using the app. You can still send money to others and use Cash App's other features. If you change your mind later, you can create one anytime in Settings.
Is it safe to share my $Cashtag publicly?
Yes. Your $Cashtag is designed to be shared. It is like a username — it does not give anyone access to your money or personal information. Only share your bank account number, Social Security number, or password with Cash App itself, never with other users.
Can I have more than one $Cashtag?
No. Each Cash App account has one $Cashtag. If you want a different $Cashtag, you change the one you have. If you need multiple $Cashtags, you would need to create separate Cash App accounts with different phone numbers or email addresses.
