Square Cash App Now Lets You Send Money to People Nearby Over Bluetooth

Square has updated its Cash app to let you send money to people nearby over Bluetooth.

Send or request money by using a text message or an email. It’s 100% free. Setup only takes a minute and money is automatically deposited to any US bank account. Most deposits happen instantly, so your money is ready to spend when you need it.

Features:
• FREE – Just link your debit card to start sending and requesting money.
• FAST – Most payments are deposited to your bank account in minutes, using the Visa or MasterCard debit card you already have in your pocket.
• SAFE – We’ve got you covered with an optional passcode lock and 128-bit encryption. Payments that aren’t claimed in 14 days are automatically refunded to you.


Send Cash:
– Instead of paying fees at the ATM!
– For splitting the dinner bill.
- To anyone, anywhere in the US

Request Cash:
– From your parents for anything and everything.
– For that trip you planned with your 3 best friends.
– As a gentle reminder that burritos aren’t free.

Cash works with any U.S. Visa or MasterCard debit card. Prepaid cards are not supported.
