Why Cash App Payment Completed But Not Received?
As stated before, there are some few factors that might result to Cash App payment completed but payment still pending.
Ranging from expired card, detected fraud, spam, typo error, insufficient funds, poor network connection and so on.
However, in this article am going to listing them Down and giving the solution to it, so sit thigh and flip through the pages of this guide.
Insufficient funds
Most users make some sort of mistake when making transaction, this in turn could cause a pending payment.
It is advisable to always recheck the amount you wish to transact, because if you fill in a greater amount while transacting, Cash App will automatically leave your payment hanging until you have sufficient funds.
To avoid this, make sure to always recheck your Cash App balance and transact lesser or an accurate amount on the Cash App balance.
Poor Network Connection
Being an internet dependant platform, Cash App needs a stable internet connection while making transaction. Transacting in a poor Network Connectivity environment could cause “pending payment’
We advise you to reach out for a more network stable environment before transaction, probably a high elevation ground like a staircase or a hilltop.
Server Break Down
Sometimes, the pending payment not received issue may be entirely a server break down issue.
This actually means that the error isn’t coming from you. It could be a server break down from the connected Bank account or Cash App.
However, if you find out that the error is because of server break down, you have no option than to wait for the issue to be resolved.
If there are bank server break down, then your cash out may take a few days to arrive even if it was sent on business days.
Although the server break down issue might take just few minutes or hour to be resolved and sometimes it can take days.
However, if you are not sure whether it is a bank server error, you can check on your bank by contacting their customer support services on Twitter. Or checking on “DownDetector“
Exceeded Payment Limit
Performing transaction when you have reached the daily limit is one factor that could cause “pending payment” error, and leaving your transaction hanging till the next day.
However, you can restrict Cash App from allowing you to perform transaction when you have actually reached your limits. To do this, verify your account with your full identity information, which includes your name, date of birth and the last four digits of your SSN Number.
Cash App can only allow you to send a maximum amount of $250 per week and a maximum of $1000 in a month until your account is verified.
Typographical Error
If they are a typographical error in the Cashtag or phone number of the person you want to send the money, then payment is bound to fail or remain pending.
Make sure to always recheck the information after filling them, just to be sure there are no typographical errors.
Expired Debit Card
Debit Card and credit card often last for like 2 to 3 years, and the expiration dates are always written on the back of any card.
Using an expired debit card linked to your Cash App while trying to make payment will automatically leave the transaction pending until you have used an updated card.
To avoid this, always use an updated credit or debit card.
Detected fraud and spam
Once Cash App detects fraudulent or suspicious activities on your account Cash App will limit some actions in your accounts to protect the account from scam. In this case, Cash App will automatically block the payment or mark it pending for some hours or days until they verify it’s not fraud.
Payment Method
They are basically two methods of depositing funds in Cash App; they include: Standard Deposit and Instant Deposit.
While Standard Deposits are free and take few working days before receiving the funds, instant deposit charges 1.5% on every deposit and automatically instant.
So if you chose standard deposit during transaction you may see “Pending Payment” marked and this means it will take some few days before arriving in your bank account.
