Cash App
From SI410
Cash App, a subsidiary of Block, Inc. (formerly known as Square, Inc.), is a mobile app launched in 2013 as a peer-to-peer (P2P) payments service.[1] Since its inception, Cash App has expanded to provide banking and brokerage services.[2] The app can be downloaded for free through the Google Play Store and App Store on the Android and iOS mobile operating systems, respectively.[3] Though the app remains an incredibly popular platform to simply finances, concerns regarding its use in illicit activity and the app’s data policy remain.[4][5]
