Pay with Cash App Using Peanut — Coming Soon
Peanut is adding Cash App support. Soon you'll be able to send money to Cash App users and pay at merchants across the United States directly from your Peanut balance. Cash App has over 50 million users in the US, making it one of the country's most popular peer-to-peer payment apps. With Peanut's upcoming Cash App integration, you'll tap into this massive payment network to send money, settle up with friends, and pay at merchants.
The United States is a key corridor for Peanut — it is one of the largest sources of international tourists and remittances globally. Whether you're paying a friend in the US, settling a bill after a trip, or sending money to family, Cash App through Peanut will make it as simple as entering a $cashtag.
What Is Cash App?
Cash App is a peer-to-peer payment and mobile banking app operated by Block, Inc. (formerly Square). With over 50 million users, it is the second-largest P2P payment app in the United States.
Cash App allows users to send money instantly using a $cashtag (a unique username), phone number, or QR code. Beyond P2P transfers, Cash App offers the Cash Card — a free Visa debit card linked to the user's Cash App balance — which can be used anywhere Visa is accepted. The Cash Boost program provides rotating cashback rewards at specific merchants like Starbucks, Walmart, and DoorDash.
Cash App's merchant reach extends through two channels: QR payments at Square-powered merchants and the Cash Card at any Visa-accepting business. Block also operates Square (the merchant point-of-sale system), creating a natural connection between Cash App users and millions of Square merchants.

Where You Can Pay
Cash App merchant reach depends on the payment method:
- QR payments — at Square-powered merchants and select retailers displaying Cash App QR codes
- Person-to-person — send money to any of the 50M+ Cash App users via $cashtag, phone number, or QR code
- Cash Card (Visa debit) — accepted anywhere Visa is accepted, including grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, and online retailers
- Cash Boost — rotating cashback offers at specific merchants like Starbucks, Walmart, and DoorDash
- In-app payments — pay businesses directly using their $cashtag
The combination of P2P transfers and the Cash Card's Visa network means Cash App covers virtually every payment scenario in the United States.
What You'll Need
To pay with Cash App through Peanut once the integration launches:
- A Peanut account — download the app and create your account
- Identity verification — verify with your passport, national ID card, or driver's license (US users). Verification takes under 2 minutes and is handled by Persona, a certified identity provider. Peanut never sees or stores your documents.
- A funded balance — US-based users can deposit via ACH or wire transfer (both free from Peanut's side), or via supported networks
- No separate Cash App account needed for sending — Peanut will handle the connection to the Cash App network
Info
Specific requirements and limits will be confirmed at launch. Peanut's general model applies: no payment fees, competitive exchange rates, and rate locks at the moment of payment.
Fees and Exchange Rate
Peanut charges no fees on payments. When sending to Cash App through Peanut, you will pay the displayed rate with no additional charges.
US-based users benefit from free ACH and wire deposits into Peanut — your bank may charge its own wire fee, but Peanut does not. For users outside the US sending to Cash App recipients in America, Peanut will convert your digital dollar balance to USD at a competitive rate with no payment fees on top.
The rate locks at the moment you confirm — what you see is what you pay.
Who This Is For
Peanut's Cash App integration is designed for anyone who needs to send money to people in the United States:
- People sending money to friends and family in the US — if the recipient uses Cash App, funds arrive instantly in their account. No need for wire transfers or slow bank-to-bank payments.
- Remote workers paying US-based contractors — pay directly to a contractor's Cash App using their $cashtag. Fast, simple, no bank routing numbers needed.
- International travelers to the US — pay at Square merchants, settle up with American friends, and access the Cash Card's Visa network.
- US residents using Peanut — use your Peanut balance to pay Cash App contacts seamlessly, alongside Peanut's other payment features for sending money abroad.
