Square Cash provides a platform for basic transactions with just a few taps on your phone. Money transfers are comfortable and straightforward with this app.

The secure way to pay or get paid

Send and receive money with simple transactions in the palm of your hand.

The first item you'll notice when you use Square Cash is its focus on protecting your information and payments. It does this with a password system. There’s an option to use Touch ID if your phone has a fingerprint scanner.

You can make payments with emails. To do this, add the contact email address that you’d like to pay and the amount you want to send. After that, add Square Cash to the “carbon copy” section of the message, and then hit send. The company is notified that you’re trying to make a payment, and they’ll follow through. Some transactions may take extra time because emails might take extra time to send. This system is a bit different from alternatives, like Paypal, that have the payment system built into their service. However, it’s quite fast and reduces limitations for anyone interested in using the application.

Square Cash offers a reward program for users who refer others, with a bonus for transfers made within 14 days. This is a great motivator to download and recommend the app to friends for some extra income on your first transfer.

Sending and receiving money outside of the United States is not possible. This is an issue for anyone who wants to travel with the app or is looking to transfer money internationally.

A $250 weekly sending limit is a major downside. Also, you can receive a maximum of $1000 every seven days. This can be changed, though, by linking your Facebook account. You may need to provide additional information as your limit goes up.

How does Cash App work?

Cash App allows users to transfer money to others and receive money from them without any fees, which makes it a good choice for regular use. Users can also move money from their Cash App balance to a bank account linked to their Cash App. This service is free if you choose the standard transfer, which usually completes within one to three business days.

Do you need a bank account for the Cash App?

One of the benefits of using Cash App is that you do not need a bank account to start or use it. You can add money to your Cash App balance in various ways without needing a bank account. Cash App provides full functionality for sending and receiving money even if you choose not to link a bank account.

Can you use Cash App internationally?

The ability to use Cash App for international transactions is currently limited. At the moment, Cash App only supports transactions between the US and the UK, and does not support other international transactions or currencies. For international money transfers, both the sender and the recipient must have their own Cash App accounts.

Is Cash App similar to PayPal?

Cash App and PayPal share several similarities, especially regarding business services. Both allow users to send and receive money online and include features that support bank account linking for easy withdrawals. Businesses utilize both, though they vary in their fee structures and additional offerings.

Is Cash App safe?

Cash App prioritizes the security of its users. It employs state-of-the-art encryption and fraud detection technologies to safeguard user data and funds. All personal information is encrypted when sent to Cash App’s servers, ensuring protection over both public and private internet connections, as well as different types of data services.

Where can you run this program?

This program requires iOS 11.0 or later. It is also available on Android and Windows.

Is there a better alternative?

Yes. Square Cash offers a basic and straightforward money transfer solution, yet it limits transactions. Meanwhile, its competitor, Paypal, provides customers with the option to send both domestic and international transfers with almost no restrictions.

Our take

The app has a simple and clean interface. It’s easy to send money with the app. However, the limitations that it has are a major letdown.

Should you download it?

No. If you’re looking for an easy-to-use app to make payments with few restrictions, this is not the place to look.
