What update 5.70.1 brings
Released on September 25, 2026, this looks like a maintenance update: bugs fixed, things running smoother.
Sending money and the Cash App Card
Payments are the heart of the app. You can pay people with their phone number, email, $cashtag or a QR code, and sending money is free and instant. The listing mentions proactive security features meant to help you avoid scams. Still, only send money to people you know, because a payment to a stranger is hard to undo.
The Cash App Card is a Visa debit card you can customize with exclusive styles. It works wherever Visa is accepted and with Apple Pay, Google Pay and other digital wallets. There are no monthly or hidden fees, you get real-time alerts, and fraud monitoring runs 24/7. Offers add discounts on everyday spending and even access to concert presales.
Direct deposit and Green status explained
Setting up direct deposit can get your paycheck up to two days early. There is no minimum balance requirement, and you can route part of each paycheck to savings, stocks or bitcoin automatically.
Cash App Green is a status you earn, not a separate plan you buy. You qualify by spending $500 a month in qualifying purchases with your Cash App Card or Cash App Pay, or by depositing $300 a month in qualifying deposits. Green unlocks free in-network ATM withdrawals, up to $200 in free overdraft coverage and up to 3.5% interest on savings. Eligibility limits apply to some of these benefits, so read the terms in the app.
The app also offers a borrowing feature. Terms and eligibility are listed inside Cash App, and it is worth reading them carefully before you use it.
Stocks, bitcoin and teen accounts
You can buy stocks and bitcoin starting at $1, and stock trades carry no commission. Other costs can still come up, such as regulatory fees or fees to move securities to another broker. Bitcoin services are not available in every US state and territory. Investing always carries a risk of loss, and this review does not recommend buying or selling anything. The app includes a Round Ups option that puts spare change toward savings, stocks or bitcoin.
You can also choose to get paid in bitcoin. That option makes the value of your pay depend on bitcoin’s price, so understand the risk before you switch it on.
Teens aged 13 to 17 can use Cash App when an eligible parent or guardian sponsors them. They get a personalized debit card, extra security features and parental controls. If you ever need help, the listing gives an official support phone number, (800) 969-1940. Be wary of anyone else claiming to be Cash App support.
Who Cash App suits, and what to watch
Cash App works well if you split costs with friends often, want a debit card without monthly fees, or like having payments, savings and investing in one app. People who already receive their paycheck elsewhere can still use it just for transfers and the card.
The main thing to watch is that several perks depend on Green status. If your monthly spending or deposits fall below the thresholds, benefits like free ATM withdrawals and higher savings interest may not apply. Keep an eye on that before relying on them. Also, turn on the real-time alerts for your card. They make it easier to spot a charge you did not make.
