r/applehelp on Reddit: Apple Cash Payment Pending
March 2, 2025 -
My client sent me a payment this morning but it says pending-received, under review. This has never happened to me before, and I’ve been using and getting Apple Cash payments for so long. Any help on how I can get this to push through asap? I really needed it today, I even tried logging in and out of my Apple account and restarting my phone.

You are being flagged for receiving too many payments probably. Cash App, PayPal, Venmo, etc. all do it too. These apps are not meant to do what you’re doing, you should look for something made for businesses, such as Stripe, Square, etc. you will not only be in compliance with laws and regulations, but you will also have more control o er your finances and doing taxes will be a breeze!

Looks like a money laundering investigation/ fraud investigation. You’ll need to wait it out. Companies are required to do this by fiscal rules if you receive too many payments / too much money in a short period of time. I had the same issue when renting a flat with 4 people and they PayPal’d me the deposit.

November 25, 2024 -
I initially bought an item in a game for about $16 which was all fine as the purchase went through and I got my items in game. However I later found out that my bank account was not charged for the item and my app store was saying that I had a "pending payment" of $16. At first I ignored it because free stuff however I then noticed that I was unable to install new apps or even update my old apps as they required me to put in my apple id password (weird since usually one can just use face ID). Following this it proceeds to make me put in my card details (saying I need a confirmed payment method), which when I do, goes back and says that I already have this card connected to my apple id (which i do). I then go and click on my already put in payment method (I have made sure every single digit is the same as on my card multiple times + I have always used this card to pay for things on apple), the app store then proceeds to act like its accepting my payment method, loads a little, even lets the install icon next to the app spin like its about to install/update, and then it asks for my apple ID password again, and then the whole thing repeats endlessly.
I was looking through apple support and found someone who had the same problem as me however the person who replied to them gave no help and just offered the apple support links which did not solve my problem..
please help me..
