Editor’s note: We used a Google Pixel 7 running Android 14 and an Apple iPhone 12 Mini running iOS 17.2 to develop these steps. That said, we had to get screenshots using the iPhone, as the Android Cash App application doesn’t allow us to take screenshots of some important pages. The steps are identical on both platforms, though.
How to find your Cash App routing and account number
Finding your Cash App routing and account number is pretty simple. You just have to know where to look.
- Launch Cash App.
- Tap on the Money tab, which looks like a bank building or your balance, if you have any.
- Next to your Cash Balance, you will see an Account & Routing option. Tap on it.
- The app will show your Routing Number and Account Number. There are also Copy shortcuts next to them, for easy copying and pasting.
How to get a direct deposit form from Cash App
You can use the same Cash App routing and account number to set up direct deposit with your employer, but you can also set it up automatically if your employer supports it, or get a direct deposit form from the app, if that is required by your employer. Let’s walk you through the steps.
- Launch Cash App.
- Tap on the Money tab.
- Next to your Cash Balance, you will see an Account & Routing option. Tap on it.
- Select Direct deposit.
- If your employer supports setting up your direct deposit online, select Get Started in the Automatic Setup section and follow the instructions.
- If you want a direct deposit form, select Fill out form.
- Select Create New Form.
- Tap on Continue.
- Enter your employer’s name and hit Continue.
- Select how much of the paycheck you want to deposit to Cash App. You can pick between Full Paycheck, Enter Percentage, or Enter Amount.
- Select Next.
- Draw your signature and select Next.
- You can now choose between Email Form or View Form. Deliver the form to your employer using your method of preference.
Depending on your employer, this process may not be necessary, as some offer their own forms. In this case, all you will need are the routing and account numbers.
