I no longer recommend Cash App (formerly Square Cash) because they explicitly removed the ability to have inbound transactions be automatically deposited into your bank account.
They left it on for anyone who already had it on, but I specifically signed my dad up on the assumption that sending him money would be as frictionless as possible. Instead, Square/Block would love for that money to stay in the Cash App account, not actually available for him to spend in his own account.
I continue to use Cash App because I continue to have this feature; if they ever remove it, I'm gone.
- gnicholas 4y agoI got burned by the Cash app as well, with bait-and-switch tactics around their merchant discounts. Their system had problems registering merchants correctly, so the discounts pretty much never went through for me. I tried to get support but they didn't care. I bounced.
- ezfe 4y agoI don't actually blame them for this, because they have to make money somehow. If they make money by having your money in your account for a few hours/days, idc. So long as they make it frictionless to start a withdrawal - a tap or two, that's all I ask.
- neon_electro 4y agoI do blame them for this - they can get fucked. For my dad, Auto Cash Out was exactly the "frictionless" experience he needed, and he didn't need any of the BS Cash App wants to put in front of him. I'm happy to help Square/Block make money with my engagement/interaction with Cash App, but they clearly can't figure it out without severely harming the UX in the process. Therefore, they aren't recommended.
