Square’s Cash App tests new feature allowing users to borrow up to $200

Cash App, the peer-to-peer payments service from Square, is giving select users a way to get short-term loans.

The company said it’s only testing the feature with around 1,000 users for now. But it could become more broadly available — and there are probably plenty of people who could use the money, given the state of the U.S. and global economy, not to mention the current uncertainty about further stimulus plans.

Cash App is starting out by offering loans for any amount between $20 and $200. You’ll be expected to pay the loan back in four weeks, along with a flat fee of 5%. (Multiplied over a year, that turns into a 60% APR — which sounds high, but at least it’s significantly lower than the average payday loan.)

If you don’t pay off the loan after four weeks, you’ll get an additional one-week grace period, then Square and Cash App will start adding 1.25% (non-compounding) interest each week. You also won’t be able to take out an additional loan if you’ve previously defaulted.

“We are always testing new features in Cash App, and recently began testing the ability to borrow money with about 1,000 Cash App customers,” a company spokesperson said in a statement. “We look forward to hearing their feedback and learning from this experiment.”

Square has already been expanding Cash App’s features beyond simple peer-to-peer money transfer with things like the Cash Card (a free debit card), Cash Boost (rewards) and Cash App Investing. And beyond Cash App, Square has been offering loans to small businesses through its Square Capital arm.

Have you been hearing the buzz about Cash App Borrow and want to try it out? Cash App Borrow is a pilot feature that allows select users to take out small loans for a flat fee. While Cash App Borrow is not available to everyone, some users can now borrow $20 or more in Cash App and pay back the loan on a 4-week schedule or all at once. We'll teach you everything you need to know about borrowing money in Cash App, including how you can qualify to unlock Cash App Borrow on your Android, iPhone, or iPad.

Things You Should Know

Cash App Borrow offers small 4-week loans to users who qualify at a flat 5% fee. Additional charges apply for late payments.
Cash App Borrow is still in its testing phase and not yet available to all users.
If you don't see the Borrow option in the Banking tab, you currently don't qualify for Cash App Borrow.

1
Cash App borrowing is not yet available to all Cash App users in the United States. According to support reps at Cash App, Cash App Borrow is a pilot program that's only available to a small amount of users.[1] If you don't have the option to Borrow in the app, there's no way to unlock the feature yourself.
2
Because the service is still in its testing phase, not much is known about eligibility requirements. While Cash App is not yet giving specifics about who can borrow money, the support area of the app states that these 4 factors affect to your eligibility:
- Residence: Borrowing is not available in all US states, but Cash App doesn't specify which states are excluded. Their agreement does include loan terms for certain states, which may indicate that borrowing is (or will be) available in these locations: California, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Ohio, Washington, Wisconsin, and Utah.[2]
- Having an active Cash Card: While there's no indication that having a Cash Card automatically qualifies you to borrow from Cash App, activating and using your Cash Card will improve your chances.
- Cash App usage: Cash App doesn't specify how your usage affects your loan eligibility, but they do say it's a factor.
- Credit history: While they don't list a target credit score or any other criteria, this does indicate that having a poor credit history might prevent you from borrowing from Cash App.

There might be other ways to qualify. Many Reddit users claim that once they set up direct deposit on Cash App, they qualified for Cash App loans. Other users claim that having an active debit card and credit card linked to the app contributed. Neither of these things are confirmed by Cash App.
- Still, if Borrow isn't available in your state, there is no way to activate the feature regardless of how you use Cash App.

1
Loan amounts. When Cash App first announced their Borrow feature, loan amounts ranged from $20 to $200.[3] While Cash App doesn't publicize how much users can borrow, some users on forums like Reddit claim they can borrow up to $450.
2
Duration and fees.
- You can borrow money from Cash App for a flat 5% fee.
- You'll pay back your loan in 4 weekly installments.
- If you don't pay back the loan in full after 4 weeks, Cash App grants you a 1-week grace period. If you still carry a balance after that, a 1.25% finance charge is added per week until you've paid the remainder.
3
Repayment.
- When you take out a loan, you'll have 3 payment options. You can repay as you receive cash in Cash App (10% of each deposit into your account), make a payment every week for 4 weeks, or pay the full balance all at once.
- If you don't make a payment by your scheduled payment date, Cash App will automatically deduct the amount from your Cash App balance.
- If there's not enough in your balance to cover the payment, they'll deduct the amount from your linked debit card or bank account.
