The Cash App sending limit for unverified users is $250 total in any 7-day period. Once identity verification is completed, users can send up to $7,500 per week and receive an unlimited amount.

Detailed Explanation

Cash App sets two different levels of account capabilities: one for unverified users (no identity information provided) and one for verified users (identity checked with legal information).

• Unverified users (basic accounts): You can only send up to $250 within a 7-day period and receive up to $1,000 within a 30-day period. These limits renew automatically after each period ends. “7-day” and “30-day” mean rolling periods — not calendar weeks or months — so every day the app looks back at your last 7 or 30 days of activity.
• Verified users (fully verified accounts): After confirming your identity by submitting your full legal name, date of birth, and either a U.S. Social Security Number or ITIN, your limits expand: you can send up to $7,500 per week and receive money with no receiving limit.

Verification is required by U.S. financial regulations to confirm you are a real person and to prevent fraud or money laundering. If you’re an international student without an SSN yet, Cash App verification may fail until you have one or an ITIN. Without that verification, your account stays under beginner limits.

To verify: open Cash App › tap your profile icon › select “Personal” or “Verify your identity” › follow the instructions. Make sure your name and birth date exactly match your government ID. Small mismatches (extra spaces, nicknames, using a VPN, or wrong address format) often cause rejection.

If already verified: You don’t need to do anything else. Keep your ID information up to date and use the app within U.S. law. You can now send up to $7,500 each week and accept deposits or payments of any size. Transfers above your send limit will not process; instead, Cash App will prompt you to wait for your limit to reset or link additional verification.

In short, $250 per week unverified, $7,500 per week verified. Verification safely unlocks higher limits, smoother transactions, and fewer sudden holds on your account.
