How to cancel Cash App payment that is pending

Cash App is not used by the majority of Americans to send and receive payments instantly. With its peer to peer money transfer technology, payments are almost instant. However, in some scenarios, users might face pending transactions once in a while. But can you cancel a pending Cash App payment easily? As there is no cancel button on Cash App payment.

Cash App is a peer or peer money sending and receiving platform where you can send money with the use of $cash usernames. I have used their service in multiple locations, and all the time’s transaction experience is smooth and perfect. However, I do face some glitches where the payment is deducted from my bank account but showing pending in Cash App interface. Upon confirming, the patent was not received on the other side but deducted from my bank account.

This is a very problematic scenario as there is no cancel button to cancel the pending transaction. Since Cash App works on peer to peer network, all transactions are either falls in the category of successful or failed. But for any reason, the transaction is not completed successfully, and then it will show us pending.
