Cash App (owned by Block) just launched Pools, a group payment tool that lets even non-users chip in via Apple Pay or Google Pay. It’s their first big peer-to-peer move in 2 years.

🚨 Breaking News:
Cash App now supports out-of-network payments. Even if your friends don’t have the app, they can send money to a shared Pool.

Wire Simplified

  • Pools lets users create shared balances for things like dinner or travel

  • Friends can chip in using Apple Pay or Google Pay, no Cash App account needed

  • It’s part of a bigger push to regain momentum against Venmo, which is growing fast

  • The feature was built super fast using internal AI tools like Goose

  • Cash App wants to go viral again by making money feel more multiplayer

✔️Straight to the Point
Cash App is trying to win back its cool kid status with social, sharable, and app-free payments. And it might just work.
