Cash App is a P2P payment app that allows individuals to quickly send, receive and invest money. Block, Inc., formerly Square, Inc., launched the app in 2013 (initially named Square Cash) to compete with mobile payment apps like Venmo and PayPal.
Cash App is a financial platform, not a bank. It provides banking services and debit cards through its bank partners. The balance in your account is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) through partner banks. Cash App provides investing services through Cash App Investing LLC, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a broker-dealer and a member of the Financial Industry Regulation Authority (FINRA).
Through Cash App, users can send and receive money, get a debit card and set up direct deposits. The investing feature allows users to invest in stocks for as little as $1. This is done by buying pieces of stock, called fractional shares. Consumers can also buy, sell or transfer Bitcoin through the app.
With Cash App Taxes (formerly Credit Karma Tax), users can file their taxes for no charge. With this service, Cash App is quickly becoming a one-stop shop for financial services.
To use Cash App, you must first download the mobile app, available for iOS (4.7 stars out of 5) and Android (4.6 stars out of 5). You can also sign up for an account online. The app features several tabs for its various services, including banking, debit card, payments, investing and Bitcoin.
