Cash App is a mobile payment service where users can send money to friends and family or pay vendors and merchants.
But if you’re living outside of the United States or United Kingdom, or you want to pay someone in a different country, you won’t be able to use Cash App.
Cash App does not work internationally
According to the Cash App Help page, the service “does not currently support payments to international recipients.”
This means if you are living in the US and want to send money to your friend who lives in Canada, you cannot do so.
The Cash App, when used within the US, can only work as a way to send funds through the app if both parties are located within the 50 states. So you won't be able to use it on other US-owned properties, military bases, or territories (like Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands).
On April 3, 2018, Cash App became available for users who live in the United Kingdom. Those living in the U.K. can link their bank accounts to the app to seamlessly transfer funds (without a fee) to others who have the app. The Cash App Card, however, is not available in the UK like it is in the US.
And even though the US and the UK both have access to the Cash App and its features, money cannot be sent between the two countries. For example, if you are living in the US and want to pay a merchant who lives in the UK through the Cash App, you won't be able to.
