As long as you have their permission and information, you can create a new Cash App account for a friend or family member. You can create the new account on your own device, but the other user will need to download the app to manage their Cash App account.

Direct bank deposit

You'll need the recipient's full name and bank account number to complete the deposit. However, some banks have restricted cash deposits into someone else's account. Handling cash can lead to fraud, so banks are steering clear.

Link a bank account:

Cash App works better when you link an existing bank account. Once you do, you can add money from your bank account to your Cash App balance so it's quick and easy to send it. Linking your bank account makes receiving money easier too.

Your bank account number alone is not enough for someone to withdraw money from your account. Scammers can use your bank account and routing number to commit ACH fraud, make online purchases, deposit money for illegal activities, and create fraudulent checks.
