How to Add Money to Cash App Without a Debit Card
Most people add money onto their bank accounts through a debit card.
It’s no surprise that they’d think they have to do the same with Cash App, especially because they don’t have any physical branches you can head to.
Fortunately, there are many ways to add money to your Cash App account without a debit card.
You can even add paper money to your fintech account without a debit card, just head to a Family Dollar and let the cashier know you want to make a deposit (you can grab a frozen treat while you’re there too, just saying).
In fact, you can head to a wide range of retail stores to make your Cash App paper money deposit. You can go to Family Dollar, Walgreens, Walmart, and 7-Eleven to add physical cash to your online account. There is a $1 fee to deposit cash into your account no matter where you go.

If you get a paycheck every two weeks from an employer, you can reroute your deposit to Cash App. They accept direct deposits, providing you with an account number and routing number once you get their free debit card.
Enrolling in direct deposit with Cash App comes with benefits.
They will get your funds two days before you were supposed to receive them, making payday a whole 48 hours earlier. They don’t charge for direct deposit either.
The most common way to add money to your Cash App account without a debit card is through a bank transfer.
I have a bank linked to Cash App to move money in and out with ease. To move money into Cash App, all I have to do is go into the app and make a transfer.
Transfers take a couple of business days, but the transfer method is safe and secure.

You can also generate a barcode once you found the store you’d like to make your deposit at. By clicking on the store in question, you can click another button that says “Show Barcode” once again.
All the cashier needs to do is to scan your barcode to connect their point-of-sale system to your Cash App account.
Once their system is connected, they can accept any cash you have, depending on their limits, and deposit those funds right into your account.
There is a $1 fee to make a cash deposit no matter the store you make your deposit with.
