Apple Cash permanently restricted

So I turned 18 yesterday, so I decided to setup Apple Cash so I can iMessage friends money etc. I have no credit history or anything because I just turned 18. After I entered birthday name SSN etc to setup the account it says I’m restricted. When I called support they tell me it’s a permanent restriction as a “business” decision.


I don’t have any fraud or any suspicious activity I don’t think because I turned 18 yesterday and never owned a card or anything. So I don’t see why Apple Cash/Green dot bank just permanently banned me when I made an Apple Cash account the day I turned 18.


any help would be appreciated

thank you

Get a copy of four of your credit reports. Someone could have stolen your SSN and opened fraudulent accounts in your name.
