Didn’t receive money that was sent to me

Hello my mom has tried to send me some money but for some reason it’s not sending but she said that they took the money out of her account. What could be the issue with that

What is the status of the transaction on your Mom's phone when she views it by tapping the Apple Cash card in the Wallet?


If it shows Pending, then it has not been accepted by you yet and you have 7 days to do that before the money will be returned to your Mom. Check the Messages from your Mom in the Messages app. If you don't have Apple Cash transactions set to Automatically receive them, you will have to receive it there. Also, you may be required to verify your identify before you can continue and use Apple Cash. Review these 2 Support Articles for information on both of those:


Also check your Apple Cash card in the Wallet app to see the list of transactions there.
