Restoring access to your Cash App account doesn’t have to be hard or scary, even if there are hundreds of dollars at risk. As long as you take a calm approach and follow the steps below, you can get back to it quickly. Let’s remind you of some. Making ATM withdrawals, depositing your paycheck into the account, a separate Visa debit card to keep things safe, and best of all, paying and receiving payments in seconds. Did you forget about investing in stocks and buying and selling Bitcoin? Is that enough of an incentive to try your best to learn how to recover a Cash App account?
A step-by-step guide to recover a Cash App Account
There are 4 things you should know before you do any steps:
Once you create one Cash App account, its details are saved in the database of Square Inc., the parent company
All of the data is encrypted
It’s impossible to access the account without a PIN/passcode sent to your e-mail address or phone number every time you attempt to log in
Cash App does NOT have an official phone number nor real customer service you can talk to by voice. They do have a text-based customer service, and an official free toll phone number, but the response is automated
