This app has a UI flaw. My friend was testing how cash request works. Her request arrived when I was already inside the app (just exploring it). And without giving me even a warning it started the process of verifying my SSN and all that. When the process was over, I had apparently given the green light to transfer the money with no recourse possible. This is stupid and frankly dangerous. I understand seamlessness has its prices but the workflow should be adjusted to avoid large cash transfers without giving the person to think about it.
- dilap 12y agoYou wanted more confirmation before you received the cash? I could go deposit money in your bank-account w/o you knowing at all... What's the potential for abuse?
- TheLoneWolfling 12y agoAmong other things: Person A wants to ruin person B's day. So person A plants rumors that person B has been bribed, and gets some random shady person to send a reasonably large amount to person B.
- radnor 12y agoThere's a $250 weekly limit with new accounts, and if you want to send more you must submit your name, date of birth, and the last 4 of your social. After that it goes up to only $2,500, so I doubt random shady people will depositing large amounts to anyone's account via Square Cash.
- r00fus 12y agoPerhaps acceptance of cash (even if it's an installment) can be construed as the start of a contract? Also look how far the politically connected go to avoid taking cash from the "wrong donors" (e.g.: NRA contributing to a anti-gun activist).
- pjc50 12y agoThe parent post said "request"; I'm assuming this is some "seamlessly pay invoice" functionality.
