Activating Cash App in countries where it is not officially supported can be a complex process. This guide provides a comprehensive approach to activate and use Cash App in non-supported regions.
Main Features of Cash App
Cash App, developed by Square, Inc., is a popular mobile banking application mainly used in the United States and the United Kingdom. It offers various features such as sending and receiving money, spending with a Cash App card, and investing in stocks and cryptocurrency.
How to Activate Cash App in Non-Supported Countries
To activate Cash App in non-supported countries, you need to show that you’re in a supported country, and you need to be aware that you will have limitations on your account. Follow these steps:
1. Use a VPN to Access the App
To download and use Cash App, you’ll need to mimic a location within the United States or the United Kingdom:
- Download a reliable VPN service.
- Set your location to a city within the United States or the United Kingdom.
2. Download and Install Cash App
Once your VPN is active:
- Visit the official Cash App website (https://cash.app/).
- Download the app directly from the website.
3. Create an Account
With Cash App installed:
- Open the app and sign up using your phone number.
- Since you need a US or UK number, get a virtual number from Numero eSIM app from the US or UK.
How to Get a Virtual Number from Numero eSIM App
- Download Numero app.
- Create an account using your real number.
- Tap “Phone Numbers“.
- Choose “USA Special Offers” for US numbers with a 70% discount on the annual plan or “Mobile Numbers” to get a US or UK mobile number.
- Choose your number and continue to purchase it.
4. Verify Your Account
Unverified accounts have limits. And here is what you need to fully use Cash App:
- Provide your full name, date of birth, and address.
- Link a real US- or UK-based debit card to lift transaction limits.
- Provide a clear image of your driver’s licence or international passport.
- Use the virtual phone number from Numero eSIM app.
- Social Security Number may be required during verification.
If verification is found to be challenging, seek assistance from a trusted contact in the US or the UK to help you using their data to create the account.
5. Use Bitcoin for Withdrawals for unverified accounts
Since non-US and non-UK residents cannot link local bank cards, choose Bitcoin withdrawal as an alternative. Cash App allows Bitcoin withdrawals up to $2,000 per day and $5,000 per week.
While Cash App is not officially supported in many countries, following these steps can help you set up and use the app.
