Where Can I Load My Cash App Card? (The 15+ Official Locations)

Since Cash App is becoming more popular, a whole bunch of major, everyday stores you probably visit anyway (like Walmart and 7-Eleven) can now load your Cash App card for you right at the register.

In this guide I’ll explain how Cash App works for paper money deposits and how to add cash to your Cash App at a store safely.

One important thing you need to know is that while these options are convenient, there is a small fee (usually $1). I’ll explain how that works, too.

The Short Answer

Here’s a TLDR of everything you need to know about adding money to your Cash App account.

• Where can I load my Cash App card? The biggest, most common places to load your Cash App card are Walmart, 7-Eleven, Walgreens, and CVS. One of these is likely near you.
• How much does it cost? There’s a $1 fee per deposit. Unfortunately, finding out where to load your Cash App card for free in person isn’t really an option with retailers.
• How much can I load? You can deposit between $5 and $500 in a single transaction.

Now, keep reading for the details, a full list of Cash App deposit locations, and a few tips.

Where to Load Your Cash App Card: A Full List

These are the most common and reliable places where you can load Cash App cards.

The “Big Four” National Chains (Your Best Bet)

Let’s be real, one of these four stores is probably less than 10 minutes from your house. These are the most common, reliable, and widespread places to load your card.

Walmart

With nearly 5,000 stores across the country, Walmart is usually the most convenient option for most people.

You can put money on your Cash App card at any register or at the dedicated Money Center.

• Find a Walmart near you.

7-Eleven

Open 24/7 and with thousands of locations, 7-Eleven is a perfect choice for 24-hour Cash App deposit locations, especially for late-night or early-morning needs when other stores are closed.

You just ask the cashier to reload your card when you’re paying for your coffee or snack.

7-Eleven Cash App deposit hours are whenever the store is open.

• Find a 7-Eleven near you.

Walgreens & CVS

I’ve grouped these two pharmacy giants together because they function the same way.

With a combined total of nearly 20,000 locations, these are another super convenient option.

Just go to the main checkout register and ask the cashier to add paper money to your Cash App.

• Find a Walgreens near you.
• Find a CVS near you.

How to Load Your Cash App Card at a Store: Step-by-Step

Okay, you’ve found a Cash App location near you.

Now what?

The process is really easy and only takes about 30 seconds at the register.

But to make sure it goes smoothly, here’s a quick step by step guide showing you what to do.

Step 1: Generate Your Barcode in the App

You don’t just hand the cashier your card.

First, you need to generate a unique, one-time barcode from your Cash App for the cashier to scan.

1. Open the Cash App app on your phone and tap the Bank/Money icon (look on the bottom-left).
2. Then select “Paper Money” from the menu.
3. The map of locations will pop up. Just tap the “Show Barcode” button at the bottom.

Once you do that, your phone will display a barcode that the cashier can scan with their normal register scanner.

Step 2: Ask the Cashier to Scan it & Hand Over the Cash

Now all you have to do is show the cashier your phone with the barcode at the Cash App loading location you are at.

Tell the cashier you want to add paper money to your Cash App.

Then give them the cash you want to deposit (between $5 and $500).

They’ll scan the code, take your cash, and the transaction is done!

Step 3: Keep Your Receipt Until the Money Arrives

The money usually shows up in your Cash App balance almost instantly, but sometimes it can take a minute or two.

The store cashier will actually give you a physical receipt for the deposit. Make sure to keep that receipt until you actually see the money in your Cash App account.

Sometimes glitches happen. You don’t want to lose money by not having the receipt that shows you actually added cash to your account.

What If the Money Doesn’t Show Up?

This doesn’t happen but it could.

If the money doesn’t show up in your app after about 10-15 minutes, contact Cash App support directly through the app.

This is where that saved receipt comes in handy. Give them the details from your receipt.

If for some reason they can’t fix the problem, go back to the store (with your receipt) and ask them to check the transaction. The receipt is your proof, so don’t throw it away!

Is There a Way to Load My Cash App Card for Free?

Yes, there is!

If you’re looking for where you can load your Cash App card for free, the answer is by linking it directly to your bank account.

Sure, paying $1 for the convenience of using a retail store is a great option. And $1 doesn’t make or break your budget, but if you are doing this often, it can add up.

Plus, when there is a way to do it without paying fees, why not use it?

Now the 100% free way to add money to your Cash App is by linking it directly to your personal bank account.

It takes about two minutes to set up, and after that, all your transfers are completely free.

This is the strategy I personally use. The Cash App card itself is free to order, and by linking it to your bank, you avoid all deposit fees.”

I keep my bank account linked to my Cash App for all my normal, planned money transfers since it’s free.

I only use the “Paper Money” retail option when I get paid in cash for a side hustle or receive cash as a gift and need to make a Cash App deposit right away.

Think of it this way… the bank is for free, planned deposits, and the retail stores are for fast, convenient cash deposits.

How to Link Your Bank Account

If you haven’t done it already, it’s really easy:

1. Open Cash App and tap the Bank/Money icon (again, look on the bottom-left).
2. Choose “Link Bank” from the menu.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to search for your bank and log in using your normal online banking username and password.

After you link your bank account, you can “Add Cash” from your bank to your Cash App anytime, instantly and for free.

Final Thoughts: You’re in Control of Your Cash

As you can see, knowing where to put money on your Cash App card is easy.

And with thousands of major stores, from Walmart to your local 7-Eleven that let you load your account, you’re never more than a few minutes away from a convenient Cash App loading location.

By knowing which stores to go to and how the process works, you have the power to manage your money on your own terms, get cash onto your card easily, and withdraw that cash when you need it.

Just remember to generate your barcode before you get to the register and always hang on to your receipt, no matter which of these places you use to load your Cash App card.
