A Cash App card is a type of debit card issued to Cash App users to pay for goods, make withdrawals, or pay for subscriptions, online or offline, using their Cash App balance.
Any transaction made with the cash card often appears on the cash app account, so you must keep it secure from unauthorized access.
Locking your Cash App card is handy if you’ve lost it and want to prevent it from being used by someone else. Or perhaps you’re going on vacation and don’t want to risk having your card stolen or lost while away.
