Cash App is a mobile payment service that allows users to send, receive, and manage money using a smartphone app. Users register with an email or phone number and link a bank account or debit card to add funds. They can send money to others by entering the recipient's phone number, email, or unique $Cashtag, and receive money similarly. Funds received are added to the user's Cash App balance, which can be used for further payments, transferred to a linked bank account, or spent using a customizable Visa debit card called the Cash Card. In addition to basic money transfers, Cash App offers direct deposits, banking features with account and routing numbers, investing in stocks and Bitcoin, tax filing, and the ability to deposit cash at participating retailers. It is designed for quick, secure, and convenient peer-to-peer payments and broader financial services.
