An Easy Way to Send Money To Friends/Family

Sending money to friends and family using your phone is not only fast, but it's extremely convenient. Not having enough cash to pay someone back after they picked up Subway for you, causing you to say "I'll pay you back later when I have some cash.", should be a thing of the past.
Cash App is a mobile enabled app that allows a person to send and/or receive funds from family and friends, electonically, from an iPhone or android phone.
In order to send/receive money, you must have the Cash App on your phone (a free download) which connects automatically to your phone’s contacts. If your contacts currently have the app, it will automatically be available for use for you to send or receive funds.
When creating the Cash App account, you must add your bank debit card or a credit card information for all transactions. It will then send you email notifications for any transactions made from Cash App. The funds are immediately available in your bank account within 10 minutes… very fast!
Another good feature is that you can change (update) bank information at any time as needed. This app is so easy and convenient, but it does charge a convenience fee ranging from $.50 to $3.55 depending on the amount.
There are a number of other apps out there that peform the same function as CashApp. Such as Venmo, Google Pay, PayPal, etc. If you don't currently use one, maybe check them out and see which one works best for you. It may make life a little more convenient for you.
