Paying your Verizon bill doesn’t have to be a hassle. With Verizon’s automatic payment option, you can set it and forget it, letting your bill take care of itself every month from your chosen payment method.
And if you prefer using Cash App, you can make that work too. By the end of this post, you’ll know exactly how to pay Verizon bills with Cash App.
Cash App makes recurring payments easy. You can set up automatic deposits from your bank account, and the funds will go straight into your Cash App. From there, you can use them for recurring payments without any extra hassle.
You can later edit, modify, pause, or cancel your recurring payments as needed.
Does Verizon Accept Cash App?
Verizon doesn’t accept Cash App as a payment method because they don’t have an agreement with Cash App. Regardless, you can still use Cash App or your Cash Card to pay your Verizon bills using simple workarounds.
1. Add Cash Card as a Payment Method on Verizon
The reason the Cash Card can be used to pay bills like your Verizon bill, even when the Cash App itself isn’t accepted, is that the Cash Card operates on the Visa network.
Since most merchants and service providers accept Visa, you can use your Cash Card anywhere that accepts Visa, including the Verizon app, where you would enter your Cash Card details just like you would with any other debit or credit card.
- Log in to the Verizon Enterprise Center.
- Click on Home > Bill.
- Then scroll to Manage Payment Methods.
- Then choose Credit/Debit card.
- Add your Cash App Card details.
- Save your changes.
Next, add funds to your Cash App account so Verizon can easily deduct your subscription amount from your Cash Card. Moreover, Cash App offers a boost on the card, giving you a percentage off for in-app purchases with Verizon. It’s a nice little perk that makes paying your bill even better.
2. Use Cash App’s Account and Routing Number
Using Cash App’s account and routing number allows you to set up direct deposits and automatic payments, just like a traditional bank account.
Some individuals faced issues with Verizon not immediately deducting money using this approach. This means that you might need to monitor the funds until the deduction occurs from your account.
First, find your Cash App account and routing number. Follow these steps:
- Open the Cash App and go to your home screen.
- Within the Cash Balance tab, tap on Account & routing.
- Tap on the set-up link on the next screen.
- To set up routing, you’ll need a Cash App card. If you already have one, follow the on-screen steps to complete the setup. If not, you can start by ordering a new Cash Card for yourself.
- Once everything is configured, you’ll see your routing and account number—just tap to copy them.
Next, you’ll have to set up Auto Pay for your Verizon bill using your Cash App account and routing number:
- Log in to your Verizon account either through the Verizon website or the My Verizon app.
- Then navigate to the Billing section.
- You need to look for the Auto Pay option.
- Select Add Payment Method or a similar option.
- Choose “Bank Account” as the payment method.
- When prompted, provide your Cash App account and routing numbers.
- Confirm the details and save your changes.
After adding your Cash App account, make sure Auto Pay is set up correctly. You might need to complete a quick validation to link Cash App with Verizon.
Once everything’s confirmed, your Verizon bill will be automatically paid from your Cash App balance each month.
3. Pay Verizon Bill in Person
If you prefer paying your Verizon bill in person, you can visit the Verizon Company Store, Fios Local Presence Center, or CVS and 7-Eleven.
- Visit any of these Verizon stores near you.
- Bring along your billing statement, account number, or phone number.
- Take your barcode from the billing statement and inform the cashier that you want to pay a bill.
- Specify the amount you want to pay and pay the bill from your Cash App.
- You can also use your Cash Card to charge Verizon bills from your Cash App account.
- Bring your other credit/debit cards, checks, or cash as backup to the store.

Summing up:
Cash is popular and widely used for transactions. I think Verizon could make it easier for people by integrating the Cash App or providing an option to pay via a Cash App account or Cash Card on their official app and website.
If you’re trying to set up auto-pay to Verzion with Cash App, you might not find it very user-friendly. It can be a bit challenging, and this might lead some folks to explore other options in the end.
