Hello Neeterlou,

Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.

It sounds like you’re attempting to send Apple Cash through Messages, but the recipient can’t receive it. We’re happy to assist you.

From this article If you can't send or receive money in Messages with Apple Cash, “If the recipient doesn't meet the requirements, you'll see a message that they aren't eligible in Messages.” Make sure they meet the requirements in section “Try to send money”.

Cheers.
