Family Dollar is an epitome of an American retail store and is going strong even in its seventh decade. In fact, there’s a great chance you have a Family Dollar store nearby.
In this case, you might be wondering, can you load your Cash Card there? Here’s the answer.
You can effortlessly add money to your Cash App Card at Family Dollar retail stores. But that’s not all because you can do so at ten more retail brands such as 7-Eleven, Walmart, Walgreens, GoMart, Dollar General, and others.
How to Add Money to Cash App Card at Family Dollar Store
Cash App calls it Paper Money Deposit, and that’s what it is. It’s also easy to do at participating Family Dollar stores.
To deposit some cash, go to the cashier and ask them if you could deposit money to your Cash App with a barcode. It’s important to emphasize this as not every employee is well versed in all things at the store.
In some instances, the cashier or sales assistant will demand that you swipe or insert your Cash Card to make the deposit. That isn’t the proper way of doing it, though, and you should advise them to scan the Cash App’s barcode instead.
If they’re still not sure how to continue, simply offer them instructions on your phone by tapping the “?” on the Cash App map where you find the nearest Paper Money Deposit location. More on that below.
Trust me; I supervised at a gas station. Employees change all the time, and by the time you train a person, they are gone.
The only way to add cash to your Cash Card is by scanning your Cash App barcode.
The funds will be transferred to your Cash App balance right after the sales assistant scans the Cash App barcode and you hand them the money, i.e., after it’s put through the till. You’re also advised to keep a copy of the receipt.
Once your Cash App Card deposit is made, check your new balance on an electronic device to confirm the transaction was successful.

How to Increase Cash App Limits
When you open a Cash App account, you’re presented with some limitations. Namely, how much money you can send and receive each month ($1,000).
If you aren’t happy with these limitations and you want to be able to send and receive more money, you’ll have to verify your Cash App account by giving the company your date of birth, first and last name, and the last four digits of your Social Security Number.
This is an integral part of the KYC – Know Your Customer methodology, and Cash App is simply complying with the anti-terrorism and anti-money laundering legislation.
