Apple Cash not working

I tried to send money using Apple Cash today and got a message that said the person cannot receive Apple Cash. They tried to send me money and got the same message. Is anyone else having this problem today?

iPhone 11, iOS 18

Same here. Look like it’s down even though Apple doesn’t show it as down service.

Sounds like either you or the other party needs to verify your identity. Once the total of all transactions reach a predetermined limit, which I believe is $500, you will be required to verify your identify before any further transactions can occur. This is due to banking regulations that have been passed by the federal government called Know Your Customer (KYC). Every bank must follow these rules including Green Dot Bank for Apple Cash.

The support article for issues with sending/receiving Apple Cash is available here and also includes a link to Green Dot Bank if the issue cannot be resolved.

There does not appear to be anything on the Apple System Status page reporting a problem with Apple Cash transactions.
