Cash App pending transactions typically take from a few minutes to a few hours to resolve. In some cases where manual review or verification is required, it may take 1 to 3 business days. If a pending payment remains unresolved beyond 24 hours, Cash App generally cancels the transaction and marks it as failed. Users may need to take action, such as verifying their account or confirming the payment, to resolve pending statuses quickly.
Details on Pending Time
- Most pending transactions clear within minutes to a few hours.
- Manual review or security checks may extend this to 1-3 business days.
- If no action is taken within 24 hours, the pending payment is usually canceled automatically by Cash App, showing as failed.
- For pending incoming payments, recipients may need to accept the payment within 24 hours to complete it.
Reasons for Pending Payments
- Security verification or fraud checks
- Insufficient funds in the linked account or Cash App balance

Actions to Take
- Confirm payment details are correct
- Ensure sufficient funds in linked accounts
- Verify account if limits are reached
- Check app activity feed for any required actions
- Contact Cash App support if the pending status persists beyond a few days
Overall, most users see pending statuses resolve quickly, but a small number of cases may take up to three days depending on circumstances.
