About Cash App
This descriptor indicates a transaction processed via Cash App, a financial services platform operated by Block, Inc. Cash App lets individuals send and receive money, pay businesses, use a Visa debit card called the Cash Card, and in some regions buy stocks or bitcoin. In this case, the text “CASH APP*THOMAS WALSH*CAS” suggests you made a payment through Cash App to a user or merchant profile named Thomas Walsh, with the location showing as Oakland, CA.
A charge like this normally appears on your statement when you send money using Cash App, make a purchase with your Cash Card, or authorize a payment to a person or small business that uses Cash App to accept payments. The descriptor often includes “CASH APP*” followed by the recipient’s display name or business name. It may also show date codes or internal reference numbers. These are typically one-time payments, but recurring transfers (for example, if you regularly pay someone using Cash App) can create a pattern of similar charges.
If you don’t recognize this charge, open the Cash App on your phone and review your Activity history for the same date and amount; that is the fastest way to see who was paid and why. You can tap the specific payment in the app to view details, contact the recipient, or start a dispute or refund request if appropriate. If you suspect fraud or an unauthorized transaction, you should immediately report it through Cash App’s in-app support and also contact your bank or card issuer; they may place a hold on your card and start a dispute investigation. Always verify that emails or messages about Cash App payments are from official channels before clicking links or providing any account information.
