How do I resolve 'Invalid' Apple Cash payment?
Someone tried to send me money through Apple Cash and the message came through with the amount and the word Invalid. How do we fix this?

Here is what I think it is. The following is a quote from the Apple Cash terms and conditions.
“The Services may only be used for personal, non-commercial purposes.”

It is my understanding that use of services to collect rent is a commercial activity and prohibited under the T&C.
The only way to know for sure is to contact an Apple Cash Specialist at Green Dot Bank

That sure seems like it would explain it. Thank you!
I usually collect rent via Zelle but this renter wanted to avoid having to make multiple payments due to Zelle's daily limits so I told them I would give it a try.
Sorry for the lack of details. I was trying to be brief. This is a person who is renting a property from me and we were standing in the same room and discussing the payment. They then attempted to send me the payment.
This is the first payment I have ever tried to receive. I just set up Apple Cash on my phone last week. I figure I did something wrong but I don't know what it is. I went through the identity verification process as well. I received and email from Apple saying I had successfully set it up but then this happened.
I know both Cash App and Venmo have commercial accounts and work basically the same as Apple Cash.
Banks all use algorithms to detect these types of violations. The aim isn’t to mess with you or your rents. The design is to detect money laundering, fraud and other prohibited activities.
I’m glad to have assisted and I hope you have a great day!
How do you know someone tried to send you funds? Did they appear as a pending transfer? Did the funds actually get added to your card/account? Did you accept them?
I see the issue, I think. Does your tenant always pay that amount around the middle of each month? Do you have multiple tenants doing the same thing?
