Connectivity problem

If you have a poor internet connection, Cash App can escalate the payment pending issue. Therefore, before starting a transaction session, it is important to check whether the WiFi and/or mobile data is working properly. In case of inconsistent results, be sure to wait a while before proceeding with the transaction.

Insufficient balance

Keeping track of your account balance and outgoing payments is of paramount importance. Even a small lapse can bring unnecessary errors on you including the dreaded 'Payment Pending' issue. Therefore, before you commit to transfer funds to someone else's account, make sure that your account balance is greater than the amount you are transferring. If not, Cash App will keep the payment in pending status and process it only when your account balance is sufficient.

Unknown sender

If unknown Cash App users are sending you payments, Cash App will try to keep your account safe by putting incoming payments in the Pending section. This way, you will only receive payments from unknown Cash App users when you choose to accept.

Other issues

Although uncommon, the cache can also get stuck during app processing if you chose to skip a critical software update, making it susceptible to rogue crashes. Additionally, using an expired credit or debit card can also result in an error.

Lastly, Cash App is currently only working in the United States. If the recipient is not a citizen of the states, payment will not be made.
