Greetings 1Cjones, 


Please make sure your Apple Cash account isn’t requesting identify verification. The following article goes over how to do that on multiple devices, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch - If your Apple Cash account is restricted or locked.


If you continue having an issue sending or receiving money, this next article has the steps. If you can't send or receive money in Messages with Apple Cash


Here’s the first few to get started with - 


What you need to send or receive money

To send and receive money using Apple Cash, you must be a resident of the United States and your device must be in the United States.1 If you're under 18 years old, your family organizer must set up Apple Cash for you as part of Apple Cash Family. Then, you can send and receive money with Apple Pay.

To make sure that you have everything you need, follow these steps: 
1. Check for iOS or watchOS updates.
2. Make sure that your device is eligible.
3. Make sure that you have a Wi-Fi or cellular connection. 
4. Make sure that you sign in to iCloud and iMessage with the same Apple ID on any device that you want to use to send or receive money:
• iCloud: Tap Settings > [your name].
• iMessage: Tap Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.

Thanks.
