Do any of you use CashApp?

Asked by Dutchess_III (47188points) 8 hours ago

I have a Paypal account but the person I want to send $ to doesn’t have Paypal. Plus PP charges a fee. Cashapp doesn’t. So where do they get the funds to stay in business?
Any info is appreciated.

I don’t but I googled it and there are fees for some transactions:

I don’t use Zelle or Venmo or anything like that. I’m old fashioned that way. I feel like it’s one more thing that can be hacked, and one more thing to keep track of. I know these apps will all insist that they can’t be hacked, but to me, anything can be hacked. I get by with using credit cards, checks or cash. I don’t use debit cards either, just because I have credit cards, so I don’t see the purpose of a debit card, plus debit cards aren’t protected in the ways that credit cards are.

I feel that way too @jca2.

Thanks @jca2. That’s what I’ve been looking for.

A taxi driver I used once said he used cash app but that’s the only time I’ve heard of it. I too have PayPal which I rarely use and don’t have Venmo or Zelle for the reasons @jca2 mentions. I do use credit cards and a debit card for things like groceries that I want out of my account right away.

Same. But the person I want to send to doesn’t have PayPal.
So I’m working on cashapp, making an all encompassing junk email account for stuff like this so I don’t care if I get ads for whatever I’m dealing with.
I started PayPal in 2007.

CashApp seems to be the cash software of choice for scammers. I wouldn’t get close to it.

I do use Zelle, and have never had a problem with it.

Thanks Zen. But that’s what they use.
I think I’ll send them a freaking check! Snail mail! Deal with it!
