My son received money from his mother via Zelle to his cell phone. However, he lacks a bank account. He exclusively makes use of the Cash app. Although I noticed Zelle has an app, does it support the Cash app?

Unfortunately, Zelle requires a bank account to receive funds. It doesn’t directly integrate with apps like Cash App for transfers. Your son might need to link a bank account to Zelle or consider using a bank-affiliated payment method to access those funds.

Cash App and Zelle are two different platforms. Unlike Cash App, which is standalone, Zelle transfers require a bank account. Use the Cash App’s direct deposit option or consider connecting Zelle to a bank in order to access your cash.

Does your son have a linked bank account to his Cash App?

No, in order to transfer or receive money using Zelle, a peer-to-peer payment service located in the US, you must have a bank account with a participating US financial institution. To utilize Zelle, you need to have a US bank account.
Zelle and Cash App are separate payment platforms with different functionalities and integrations. Zelle is typically linked directly to bank accounts for transfers between bank accounts, while Cash App functions as a peer-to-peer payment service that allows users to send and receive money via a linked debit card or bank account. Unfortunately, Zelle does not directly support transfers to or from Cash App accounts. If your son received money via Zelle and does not have a bank account linked to receive it, he may need to consider linking a bank account to Cash App or exploring other options to access the funds.
