Apple Cash Pending, Recipient did not receive Apple Cash message.

I sent someone a large amount through apple cash and it has a pending on my message and does not say delivered under the apple cash message.


The recipient did not receive an apple cash message nor is it pending in their wallet.


The recipient has already verified their identity, how long is it going to take to stop pending on my end and post to the recipients messages or wallet. My Identity is verified as well.

To determine if there is any account related hold, contact an Apple Cash Specialist at Green Dot Bank by calling (877) 233-8552

The recipient may be required to verify their identify before being able to accept. If not accepted within 7 days, it will be returned to you or you can cancel the transaction while it still says Pending.


Of course they will also need to have iMessage turned on and have an internet connection to receive the message along with Two Factor Authentication set up on their Apple Account. Since it does not say Delivered on your end, try sending a text message to see if they receive that one and make sure it is the blue text bubble.


You could be over the daily or weekly limit for transfers. Large is a relative term.

The recipient is able to see iMessage's and has 2FA turned on, the payment one is the only one that does not say delivered, just pending. Is there a hold on my end ? and it will send when done ?
