Cash Cards are a form of microtransaction available in Grand Theft Auto Online. Named after various types of sharks, and using the in-game "Shark" branding, each card offers a different level of in-game money (GTA$). Cash Cards are also advertised on the in-game radio, along with some types not available for purchase. New in-game cards are periodically added to GTA Online, usually after a batch of DLC releases. The in-game economy is balanced to sustain players who do and do not purchase cash cards. Purchase of the cards is optional.

Radio Commercial
Imaging Voice: "In the sea, there are big fish and there are little fish. The same is true on land. But which are you? Isn't it the time to define yourself? At Shark, we have different Shark credit cards based on your level of insecurity. Let your credit card color define you. Go on a shopping spree with the Red Shark card! The Great White Shark is a beast of a card! Everyone in the restaurant will see it and know you are the ultimate predator. Tiger Shark is for the flamboyant spender. The Bull Shark - for the violent, aggressive predator who hunts in all kinds of environments. Or there's the charitable Basking Shark, the card for the slow-moving liberal with no teeth. Shark - for the apex predator."
