but it’s also a great way to use your debit card uh you have buying stocks and bitcoin on here you can transfer money easily to and from your bank and you just have a lot of functionality that im gonna go through in this articlenow right off the bat if youre interested in getting the cash app i have a link down below it’ll give you five free dollars so you guys can go and just follow that link to set up your account the first thing you want to do like i said through that link definitely make sure you download the app and create your own profile its going to ask for some information about yourself your name and stuff like that and i highly recommend giving it your real name just because further on down the road if you give it a fake name you might end up with some headaches when youre trying to transfer money to or from your bank like giving it your real name is usually a good move

now with that being said youre going to end up on this screen right above now this green im going to explain what
were dealing with here but across the bottom we have five different tabs and starting off with the middle tab the dollar sign thats where it brings you by default when you open the app this is actually how you send and request money with your friends so if i just type in uh and i say pay its going to ask who i want to pay it to and theres going to be some suggested people with who i sent money to or received money from in the past and you can also go down and see all of your contacts and from your contacts you can again just tap on any one of them you can add a little note there when youre sending them the money and then you just hit send or you hit pay on the top and the other thing to note is in the middle on the top you can tap the little down arrow and choose where the moneys coming from
so you can send it from your bank account which ill show you how to connect that in a second or you could send it from your cash app balance so its a really great way to send money and like i said its very very quick so if i send money to say my brother he will get it probably within a minute or two and its very easy to do now if we hit the x because im not actually doing this transaction we could also tap on request instead of pay and youre going to be faced with essentially the same screen here and this is going to be how you can request money from somebody so
if you maybe pay the rent and you have a bunch of roommates and you charge them for rent this is a great way to just type in like december rent and then request it from them and then theyll be paying you through cash app very easy to do easy to keep track of everything and its something that i really like doing for you know small utilities and still stuff like that now on the top left youll see we have kind of a little square if we tap on that square that is how we can scan a qr code so that is how youll pay each other if you want to just find somebody thats not in your contacts
its an easy way to do that so it will require camera access obviously so i’m going to say yes so you can scan or if somebody else wants to pay you you can go to my code on the bottom so going to my code shows them your code so that they can scan this and they can pay you so again a very easy way to just you know pay people back and forth specially if theyre not in your contacts so something really convenient about this app now on the top right we haveour account now in our account theres a couple settings that you definitely want to keep an eye on the first one obviously in personal thats going to be like your name and your info i recommend i mean make sure that this is all correct if you change your email or your phone number you’re going to want to update this in in the app here now once we go down to the second one privacy and security this is another really important one because you want to make sure that these are lined up with what youre looking for so if you dont want people to be able to find you you can turn off the find me at thing you can also turn off the incoming requests if you dont want people to request money from you obviously they can request it and you dont have to pay it but if you dont want the request to even come in you could do that right there or of course you could say requests are okay but only from your contacts and then on the top i highly recommend you turn this on you can create a pin so that it is required that you have a pin to sign into this that way if somebody ever you know knows your your password for your phone or something like that they’re not going to get in here and do anything with your cash app your money is safe because its hidden behind another pin so something i highly recommend doing and im actually going to do that right now now once you do that and you head back to the my profile page again youll see a couple other things notifications you can turn off notifications uh push notifications obviously showing up on your phone text notifications again showing up on your phone and then email notifications i usually turn off all of those except for push notifications because otherwise you will get three notifications every time somebody pays you and if you do a lot of transactions it definitely gets annoying so im going to hit x on the top left and then the other two options here the one is that you have the camera in the middle so you can change your profile picture if you want to do that or you can go up to the top right and that is going to be again your little cash tag whatever they call that so that people can scan this and pay you so if i hit the x on this twice well get back to this screen now i want to talk about the other tabs on the bottom starting off all the way on the left side we have a little picture of a building you can kind of guess its going to be a bank so when you go to that it shows you your cash balance right now right now i have zero dollars in my cash app because i transferred all of it to my bank so we could either add cash by tapping on the add cash button and we can transfer you know some set amount into there up to or tap on the three dots and type in a custom amount now im not going to do that right now we could also cash out
if you had money in here you would tap on cash out and it would essentially show you the same screen and ask you how much money you want to send to your bank below that it shows you your bank account uh so you can tap on that and and its going to ask you if you want to order a cash card or close it im not going to do that right now then below that we have deposits and transfers deposits and transfers are going to be how you can again send money to or from your bank we have bitcoin below that i’m not going to talk about bitcoin just yet and then lastly we have linked accounts so if you tap on linked accounts its going to allow you to add a new bank account so thats going to be again how you ransfer money in and out of the cashapp
unless youre just obviously paying friends with the app so thats everything over on the left side if we go to the next one you can tell it kind of looks like a credit card this one is actually a debit card so you can get a free cash card its a debit card and whenever you pay with it
its going to take money from your cash app balance and its going to pay for whatever youre whatever youre trying to buy and its a really convenient way to not only pay for things but as you see right here there are a lot of benefits with this so there’s always some kind of uh one dollar off a coffee shop off door dash one dollar off a lift ride like theres a lot of different benefits they have here and you can swipe through these and find any one that you want and obviously use that discount when youre out shopping or buying food or or anything youre doing going over like i said the middle one is going to be how you pay and request the one after that this is actually really interesting this is buying bitcoin or stocks so two really impressive things you can do with this app obviously bitcoin is like through the roof right now maybe when youre watching this its even higher hopefully it is hopefully its not like at zero but regardless uh bitcoins on quite the bull run and you can buy bitcoin right here if you want to and you can also look at the graph for it so one day you can look at one week you can look at one month uh one year and just really see the graph of of how bitcoins performing and if you like it you can actually just go and say buy some bitcoin so if we tap on buy bitcoin its going to ask how much money i want to put in bitcoin uh so again you can put anywhere from
one to or tap on the three dots and type in a custom amount so i have no money in my in my cash app balance right now so its not really relevant for me to do that but if we go back here the other thing you can do is go to the stocks tab and within the stocks tab you have a lot of different stocks you can buy so you can if you want to buy say like visa stock you just tap on visa right there and its going to show you a really similar interface its going to show you the stock price over one day one week a month a year the graph is not necessarily the best if you tap and hold itll show you the value and the date but otherwise its not the most descriptive graph i would highly recommend doing your own research somewhere else before buying stocks on the cash app but regardless its very convenient that you can just buy stocks in the cash app the same place youre doing banking and debit card work and bitcoin like everythings in one place its one of the reasons we really like using the cash app
now as you go down itll show you some more information a little bit of news and stuff like that related to the the stock you want to buy and if you want to buy it you just tap on buy and youll have that in your portfolio now the very last thing i want to show you guys in this video is on the bottom right the little clock as you can guess that this is your transaction history so its going to show you everything that uh people all the money people sent to you or or money that you sent to them and if you tap on any one of them it’ll tell you a little bit about that it’ll tell you who sent it how much it was the date it was completed or not and of course we could also tap on the three dots and see like a receipt for that and we could also tap on completed and essentially show you the exact same thing so thats how youll be using the cashapp guys i hope you found this Post helpful
