Can I use a fake name on Cash App?

Don't forget that in this digital age and time, the use of social media has dramatically increased like never before. And the rise of social media has given birth to the trend of using a username. More importantly, the same trend payment apps have also adopted. More specifically, the Square Cash App has been untouched by the trend of using user names. Therefore, many cashapp users could be seen using user names on Cash App. So, the million-dollar question is: Does creating a Cash App account with a unique user name mean a fake Cash App account? No - is the answer.
All accounts made with strange, cool, and unique words that are totally different from the real name are not fake on Cash App. So, we can conclude that yes you can use a fake name on Cash App. However, calling it a username is more relevant than describing it as a fake name on Cash App. Hold before you go and set up a new Cash App account with a unique username.

Only your username will be visible to the other person on the Cash App. In this way, you can be anonymous in the eyes of other Cash App users. But for Cash App, you can't be anonymous. Let's not forget that while setting up an account, Cash App asks users to enter email id, billing address, date of birth, phone number, and bank details. Above all, Cash App prompts users to confirm who they are. Identity verification is important on Cash App but not necessary. Here below is more explanation.
