If you have been attempting to add your Cash App Card in Apple Pay wallet, you may have run into a message “Verification Required, Your Card is waiting to be verified” and looking for help on how to resolve this. In this guide, you will get the easy steps on how to verify Cash App Card on Apple Pay.
You can actually add Cash App Card to Apple Pay from within Cash App itself without going through the message.
But when you add the Cash App Card on Apple Pay Wallet by going through the steps to add a debit card, you have to verify the card as a part of the standard process followed by Apple Pay.
When you tap on the button “Complete Verification”, you are given two options to verify the Cash App Card
- Open Cash App to complete the verification
- By calling Cash App Support team on their registered number as displayed
The easier and faster way is to use Option 1 by completing verification using Cash App on your mobile. That way you don’t need to call and go through all the IVR options.
So how do you verify Cash App Card on Apple Pay? When prompted to complete verification on Apple Pay, open the Cash App, go to the card tab from the home screen, next tap on the image of Cash App Card to open the menu and select “Add to Apple Pay” from the list.
Let’s look at the step-by-step details to do this, along with ways to troubleshoot any issues that crop up.
How to Verify Cash App Card on Apple Pay

At the same time on Apple Pay, you will get the same message “Cash is ready on Apple Pay”
If even after completing the above steps, it still shows “verification required” on Apple Pay, then follow the steps below
