Can You Send Money from Cash App to PayPal?

How to Send Money from Cash App to PayPal?

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to transfer money from Cash App to PayPal using your bank account:

1. Link Your Bank Account to Both Cash App and PayPal:

First, ensure that you have a bank account linked to both your Cash App and PayPal accounts. This will serve as the middleman for your transfer.

To link your bank account to Cash App, open the app, go to the "Money" tab, and select "Add Bank" or "Link Bank Account." Follow the prompts to complete the process.

For PayPal, open the app, go to the "Menu," select "Add Banks and Cards," and then choose "Banks." Follow the instructions to link your bank account.

2. Withdraw Funds from Cash App:

Open Cash App and navigate to the "Money" tab.

Select "Cash Out" to withdraw your balance.

Choose the amount you wish to transfer and select your withdrawal speed (Standard or Instant). Note that Instant withdrawals incur a fee ranging from 0.5% to 1.75%.

3. Wait for the Funds to Reach Your Bank Account:

If you chose the Standard withdrawal option, it may take 1 to 3 business days for the funds to appear in your bank account. Instant withdrawals are typically available immediately but come with a fee.

4. Add Money to Your PayPal Account:

Once the funds are in your bank account, open the PayPal app.

Tap on your PayPal balance and select "Add Money."

Choose "Bank" as the funding source, select the bank account you linked, enter the amount you want to add and hit "Add Now."

The transfer may take a few days to process, depending on your bank's policies.
