So, if you are wondering why your Visa debit card is not supported on Cash App, click here to find out all you can about it.
Why is your Visa debit card not supported on Cash App?
Short Answer: Your visa debit card is not being supported on the Cash app because you entered an incorrect detail on your card. Or entering wrong card validity dates. Also, the bank could have blocked it because you might have been involved in some kind of fraud.
Furthermore, you might need to check whether your card is activated. And make sure there aren’t any restrictions on your card by your bank. An expired card may also cause you this issue.
Here are the reasons your debit card is not being supported on Cash App.
Reason 1: Entered incorrect details
The wrong details which might be the cause of the error include,
- Your name on the card
- The card number (this is the most important detail, entering even one number wrong will make it invalid)
- Also, the card security code (CSC) or the card verification value (CVV)
A wrong expiry date can also be the root of the issue here.
Reason 2: Card blocked due to fraudulent activity
If your card has been blocked by your bank due to fraudulent or suspicious activity, you will not be able to use that card. The kinds of suspicious behavior include,
- Unpaid debts
- Terrorism
- Gambling
- And any kind of criminal activity
In these cases, the banks tend to hold your funds and close off access to your account. Until the issue is resolved you cannot add the card or your bank account to Cash App.
Reason 3: Card has not been activated
If you have recently received a new Visa card from your bank, you need to activate it. Generally, you get the card in a post with a manual on how to activate it. The whole process is explained in layman’s terms. So, anybody can understand and activate their card easily.
Reason 4: Card has been restricted
Cards can be restricted for various reasons. If you use your card regularly, and you are suddenly making large withdrawals that fall outside of your behavior, the bank will restrict it.
Or let us say that you have traveled abroad. And have used the card somewhere in an ATM or at a point-of-sale machine. The bank will know the location of your transaction and lock it. This is to safeguard your money, in case of theft.
So, if you haven’t informed your bank that you might be making an international usage of the card, you will be having issues using it.
You have the option to restrict your own card for your own personal reasons too. So, try to remember if you have asked your bank to do that.
Final Words
Debit cards not being supported on wallets are not always dependent on their acceptance of the type of card. There are a lot of other factors to weigh in. But if you think these reasons have not helped you find your solution, contacting the customer support of Cash App is recommended.
