How to Cancel Cash App (Boosts, Card, or Close Account) in 2026

Cash App is free to use — there's no subscription. But you might want to remove Boosts, deactivate your Cash Card, stop Bitcoin auto-buys, or close your entire account. Here's every type of "cancel" you might need.

Remove Cash App Boosts

Boosts are cashback discounts on your Cash Card — they're free and don't charge you anything. To remove one:

1. Open Cash App
2. Tap your Cash Card tab (card icon)
3. Scroll to Boosts
4. Tap the active Boost → Remove Boost

Boosts don't cost anything — they only save you money. Unless a Boost is causing unexpected transaction issues, there's no reason to remove them.

Cancel Cash App Recurring Payments

If you set up a recurring payment to someone:

1. Open Cash App → Activity tab (clock icon)
2. Find the recurring payment
3. Tap it → Cancel Recurring Payment

Stop Bitcoin or Stock Auto-Purchases

1. Open Cash App → tap Investing or Bitcoin
2. Look for Auto Invest or Recurring Buy
3. Tap it → Cancel

Deactivate Your Cash Card

If you want to disable your Cash Card but keep the app:

1. Open Cash App → Cash Card tab
2. Tap ... (three dots) at the top
3. Toggle off Cash Card
4. The physical card stops working, but your Cash App balance and P2P payments still work

Close Your Entire Cash App Account

1. Open Cash App → tap your profile icon (top right)
2. Scroll down to Support
3. Tap Something Else → Account Settings → Close My Cash App Account
4. Follow the prompts to confirm

What Gets Deleted When You Close

• Your $cashtag — permanently released (someone else could claim it)
• Transaction history — download before closing if needed for taxes
• Bitcoin balance — must be sold or transferred first, forfeited if you don't
• Stock holdings — must be sold first
• Boosts — gone
• Direct deposit info — if you use Cash App for direct deposit, switch that first

Cash App Tax Implications

If you bought or sold Bitcoin/stocks through Cash App:

• Download your tax documents before closing (Profile → Documents → Tax Documents)
• Cash App sends a 1099-B for stock/Bitcoin sales
• If you received more than $600 in payments for goods/services, you may get a 1099-K
• Keep these records for 3-7 years per IRS requirements

Alternatives to Cash App

• Venmo — similar P2P payments, social feed, debit card available
• Zelle — built into most bank apps, instant transfers, no app needed
• PayPal — wider acceptance, buyer/seller protection, international payments
• Apple Pay / Google Pay — built into your phone, no extra app
