Cash App respects the value of privacy. That's why it is PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant. It means all of your details, payment history, and banking information always remains encoded. The encryption level of Cash App is too strong to break. It means your anonymity will always be intact until and unless you share your own details with someone else. Now coming to your question- Can you use Cash App without disclosing your name? Answer is yes, but the way to hide your name is a little tricky.
Before I let you know the trick, let me clear one important point. Like many other popular payment apps, on Cash App also it is important to enter and use your legal name. While setting up a Cash App account, the user is prompted to enter his/her real name. A piece of good news is that if you wish you can hide your real name from other Cash App users by just simply changing your Cash App name. These are the steps to follow to hide your real name on Cash App:
- Open Cash App on your phone.
- Tap on your profile icon.

- Whatever name you enter in the name field that will be visible to other Cash App users.
Can you hide your identity on Cash App?
Cash App is designed to send, receive, and store money. If you want to hide your identity on Cash App then you will have to compromise with benefits that come with Cash App. Like many other users, you can use Cash App without verifying your identity. Yes, identity verification is important but not mandatory on Cash App.
If you wish you can set up your account without sharing your SSN number and start sending and receiving money to and from your contact. But, in this method of using Cash App there is a problem and the problem is about the Cash App limit. As being an unverified Cash App user, you can send only $250 per week and receive $1000 in a month without disclosing your identity on Cash App. This limit is quite less. One more problem is that even if you use Cash App as an unverified user, your email id, phone number, date of birth, and billing address will be accessible to Cash App. It means for the Cash App team you can’t be anonymous. Though in the eyes of other Cash App users you will be anonymous. So, that's how you can partially use Cash App anonymously.
