To step

Method 1 of 5: Create an account

1. Open the Cash App app on your Android. This is a green icon with a white dollar sign in it. If you've already installed it, you'll usually find it in the app drawer. This is how you can download the app if you haven't already:
   • Open the Play StoreEnter your email address or phone number and tap Next one. Cash App will send you a confirmation code via email or text message, depending on the information you have entered. It may take a few minutes to receive the code.
     • If you don't receive the code, tap Help in the lower left corner of the screen and follow the onscreen instructions.
   • Enter the confirmation code and tap Next one.
   • Select how you will use Cash App. If you are going to sell goods and services, choose For Business. If you are simply using Cash App to send and receive money from friends and family (or to purchase goods and services from others), select In person.
     • You will not be charged for sending or receiving money with a personal account unless you send payments with a credit card.
   • Follow the onscreen instructions to link your bank account. Cash App needs access to your bank account so you can send and receive money. The following screens will guide you through that process.
     • You must provide both the account number and the SWIFT code for your checking account.

Method 2 of 5: Claim or change your Cashtag

1. Open Cash App on your Android. This is the green icon with a white dollar sign in it. You usually find it in the app drawer.

   • You can only change your Cashtag twice after you have created it.
2. Tap the icon at the top left of the screen.
