Cash App opens up to Apple Pay and Google Pay with a group payment option
Cash App, owned by Block (formerly Square), has introduced a new group payment feature called "Pools." This feature allows Cash App users to invite non-users to contribute to a shared pool of money for a large purchase, such as a group vacation, using Apple Pay and Google Pay. Pools is the first time Cash App has opened up to external payments from these platforms. The feature allows users to create a pool, set a target amount, and track contributions from others via $Cashtags (for Cash App users) or shareable links for Apple Pay and Google Pay. The organizer can close the pool and transfer the funds to their Cash balance when ready. This new feature could help Cash App compete with Venmo by expanding its user base. However, it's worth noting that Cash App has faced data breaches and issues with fraud handling in the past, which may be a concern for some users.
