Steps to deposit cash without your physical card:
Sign in to your Común account.
In the app, go to "Move Money," choose "Deposit Cash," and select your preferred store.
After choosing the location, click "view barcode" if that store allows barcode deposits. You can only generate a barcode for a store within 15 miles of your current location.
Take the barcode to the store checkout and show your government ID (from any country) in case the cashier needs to verify your identity before scanning.
The cashier will scan the barcode and ask how much money you want to deposit into your account.
Tell the cashier the amount you want to deposit — and you’re done! 🚀
Here’s everything you need to know to deposit cash using a barcode in the Común app.
