What is Cash App?
Cash App is a P2P payment app that functions as a financial services platform. It was launched in 2013, originally under the name Square Cash, to provide a competitive alternative to services like Venmo and PayPal. While Cash App is not a bank by itself, it offers banking services in partnership with bank partner(s), with the balance in Cash App accounts being FDIC-insured.
The platform extends various financial services to its users, such as providing prepaid debit cards, brokerage services through Cash App Investing LLC, and bitcoin services. Cash App Investing LLC, a subsidiary of Block, Inc., enables users to invest in stocks and is a member of FINRA/SIPC. However, it is important to note that Block, Inc. and Cash App Investing do not engage in bitcoin trading. Trading bitcoin, much like other forms of investing, involves risks.
Cash App is known for its ease of use in banking, offering faster, simpler banking and exclusive discounts. It also helps users to invest easily and provides them with the facilities to buy, sell, and transfer bitcoin. Additionally, Cash App offers a tax filing service with Cash App Taxes, benefitting both individual and business users. Cash App, as a subsidiary of Block, Inc., emphasizes its stance as an accessible financial tool for a wide range of monetary transactions and financial services.
