How to Transfer Money to Apple Cash and Send Money to Friends

To transfer money to Apple Cash, you'll need to use the Wallet app on your iPhone. First, make sure you have a valid debit card or bank account linked to your Apple ID.

To link a debit card, tap the "+" icon in the top right corner of the Wallet app and select "Add Debit Card." You'll need to enter your card details, including the card number, expiration date, and security code.

Once your debit card is linked, you can easily transfer money to Apple Cash by selecting the "Add Money" option in the Wallet app and entering the amount you want to transfer.

To set up Apple Cash, you'll need a compatible Apple device. You can turn on Apple Cash in the Wallet and Apple Pay section of Settings.

First, ensure two-factor authentication is enabled for your Apple ID. This can be done in Settings. You'll also need an eligible debit card to load funds onto the Apple Cash card.

To set up Apple Cash, follow these steps:

Once you've set up Apple Cash, you can find the Apple Cash card in your device's Wallet app. If you want to set up Apple Cash Family, you'll need to have Family Sharing turned on, which can be done in Settings.

You can send a payment using Apple Cash directly from your Wallet or in the iMessage app. Both the sender and recipient need Apple Cash to send or receive money.

To send a payment in the Messages app, tap the plus icon, then tap Apple Cash, enter the amount, and tap Send. You can also change the amount by tapping the minus or plus sign, or using the Digital Crown.

To review or cancel a payment, tap Send, then review or cancel the payment. To send your payment, double-click the side button and confirm your payment with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode.

If you want to send the money using your debit card instead of your Apple Cash balance, tap Change Payment Method. If you don't have enough money in your Apple Cash balance to send the payment, you can pay the remainder with your debit card.

Apple Cash payments are like any other private transaction between two people, so only send and receive money with people you know.
