Is there a way to cancel a Cash App transaction? You might have this question in your mind. While some other cashapp users would like to know whether they can reverse a Cash App transaction or not. To help you understand how to cancel a Cash App transaction and dispute a Cash App payment , I am going to answer some of the most commonly asked questions. So, let's move on with the first question:

Can I cancel a completed Cash App payment?

Sorry to say but the truth is, you can't cancel a completed Cash App payment. Why? Because Square Cash App processes the payment immediately. Once you press the send money button, no matter if the recipient you have selected is correct or incorrect, the money transfer is done in just a matter of seconds. And once the payment is done, you will not find any option or button to cancel the completed transaction on Cash App.

Actually, what you need to understand is the fact that this happens with all payment systems. To be more clear, other payment apps such as PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Venmo, and even the online banks don't allow the users to cancel or reverse any payment that has gone successful.

However, a piece of good news is that the Cash App users can cancel the payments as long as they are under progress. But, to do so, you have to act fast because payments on Cash App might get successful at any time. So, let's get over it in detail.

How to cancel a Cash App transaction that's pending?

Now check the status of the payment, if it is pending then you can cancel it.
If you are getting a "Cancel" button, you can cancel the payment.
Upon successful cancellation of Cash App payment, the money will not deduct from your linked bank account.
But, if you are not getting the cancelation tab, it means you can't cancel the payment.

As you have canceled your pending payment on Cash App, now let's move a step ahead and know - What happens when you cancel a transaction on Cash App? Here is the reality.
