To remove a sponsor on Cash App, the sponsor themselves must initiate the removal process. Here are the main steps involved:
How to Remove a Sponsor on Cash App
- The sponsor needs to open their Cash App, tap the profile icon (top right corner), then go to Settings.
- Within Settings, they should find the Family Accounts or Sponsored Accounts section.
- Locate the sponsored account they want to unsponsor and tap the option to remove or end sponsorship
If the sponsor cannot do this directly through the app, they should contact Cash App Support for assistance:
- The sponsor opens Cash App, taps the profile icon, scrolls to Support , then selects Something Else.
- Scroll to Cash Card and then tap Contact Support.
- Start a chat and explain that they want to remove themselves as a sponsor because the sponsored user is now 18 or no longer requires sponsorship.
- Cash App Support will process the removal
What Happens After Removing a Sponsor
- The sponsored account will lose access to many features such as payments, Cash Card, bitcoin, and investing.
- Any bitcoin or stock holdings will be liquidated and converted to cash balance.
- The sponsored user can then verify their identity and create an independent Cash App account if they are 18 or older
Additional Notes
- If the sponsor is unable to access their account (e.g., deceased or account issues), contacting Cash App Support is necessary to resolve the situation
- The sponsored user cannot remove the sponsor themselves; the sponsor must perform the removal or request support help
In summary, removing a sponsor on Cash App requires action from the sponsor via the app or support, after which the sponsored user will need to set up their own independent account if eligible.
