Add Cash with Apple Pay, Google Pay, debit card, or bank
Add CASH to your Cash account with Apple Pay, Google Pay, a debit card, or other available payment methods.
Depending on the provider, you’ll either buy CASH directly and have it delivered to your Cash account, or buy USDC that Phantom automatically swaps for CASH once the transaction is confirmed.
You can then use your Cash balance to buy and sell tokens, and trade perps and predictions.
Add Cash via Apple Pay, Google Pay, debit card, or bank #
Fund your Cash account with Stripe or another provider. Supported payment methods include Apple Pay, Google Pay, a debit card, or a linked bank account, depending on the provider.
- Tap the + button in the lower right, then tap Add Cash.
- Enter the amount and tap Review.
- Review your payment method, provider, and fees. You can change your provider under Delivery.
- Tap Confirm and complete your purchase.
You can also start from the Home tab:

Stripe funding requires one-time identity verification. See Verify your identity for Cash (US only) or Verify your identity for Cash (EU only).
If a deposit through Meld or MoonPay fails, the amount may be below the provider’s minimum. Check the minimum shown at checkout and try a higher amount.

Stripe funding limits #
Stripe deposit limits vary based on your payment method, verification level, account history, location, and Stripe’s risk assessment. Check the limit shown in Phantom when you make a deposit.
Some limits use a rolling 7-day window. Each deposit counts toward your limit for 7 days, then that amount becomes available again.
Stripe and Phantom Support cannot manually increase your deposit limit.
Remove a linked payment method used with Stripe #
You can remove a saved payment method from the Stripe payment dialog.
- On the Home tab, tap Cash, then tap Deposit at the bottom.
- Tap the payment method dropdown and choose a card.
- Enter an amount, then tap Review.
- Tap Confirm to open the Stripe payment dialog.
- Find the saved payment method you want to remove and tap the three-dot icon next to it.
- Tap Remove card.
Add Cash via bank transfer (US) #
Fund your Cash account using a bank transfer. Send an ACH transfer or domestic wire from a US bank account to the accounting and routing numbers in your Cash account. This option is available in the United States only, except New York.
- On the Home tab, tap Cash, then tap the bank icon in the upper right.
- Under Deposit Details, copy your routing number and account number.
- Open your bank’s app or website and use those details to complete your transfer.
Bank transfer funding requires one-time identity verification. See Verify your identity for Cash (US only).
Domestic wires have a $1 million limit per transaction.

FAQ #
Why does Phantom say I’m buying USDC? #
Some providers, such as Stripe in the US, deliver CASH directly to your Cash account. Stripe in the EU and other providers, such as MoonPay or Meld, do not support direct CASH purchases, which is why you buy USDC instead. Once the transaction is confirmed, Phantom automatically converts your USDC deposit into CASH in your Cash account.
Why is Phantom redirecting me to Meld? #
Meld is a payment platform used by some providers to process your crypto purchases. A redirect to Meld during checkout can be expected.
If you need help with the transaction, contact the provider you selected at checkout.
Can I buy SOL or ETH directly? #
Buying crypto such as SOL or ETH directly with USD/EUR or other currencies is not supported. Instead, fund your Cash account first, then buy SOL, ETH, or other crypto with your Cash account.
Can I buy BTC with my Cash balance? #
Direct swaps from Cash into native BTC are currently not supported. For details see, Buy SOL, ETH, BTC, and other native tokens in Phantom on mobile.
How long will my deposit take? #
Timing depends on your payment method and provider. See Troubleshoot deposits into your Cash account.
How do I know which provider handled my purchase? #
The provider’s name appears during checkout and in your receipt. You can also check your card or bank statement, or open the deposit in Cash > History.
