What is a Cash App tag?

A Cash App Tag, also called a Cash Tag, is a special code you can use to give and get money on Cash App. It’s like a username that begins with a dollar sign ($) followed by a unique mix of letters, numbers or underscores, like $skyhigh.

Is it safe to give out your Cash App tag?

Yes, sharing your Cash tag is safe for both people you know and strangers. Your Cash App account can’t be compromised just by knowing your Cash tag. The Cash tag works similarly to your bank account number, serving solely to receive money. There’s no risk associated with sharing your Cash tag.

However, it’s crucial to understand that giving out your Cash App email address or phone number might expose you to potential risks. Therefore, it’s strongly recommended that you refrain from sharing your Cash App tag and your email address, phone number, and password with anyone. Cash App never asks for the recipient’s password when someone sends you money through the platform.

If someone requests your Cash App tag alongwith your password to send you money, there’s a high chance it’s a scam. Hence, it’s always wise to exercise caution and avoid sharing your details with anyone.
