Everyday spending63%
I would've gave 5 starts but my account got deactivated for apparently violating the terms of service. I have done nothing except send and receive payments from family and friends and make purchases.
Borrowing13%
In my opinion, Cash App is one of the best quick and easy ways to borrow a little cash before payday. Also, I love the little "boost" you can give yourself like '10% cash back on your next purchase'.
Investing7%
they are not a good service as they cannot hold up to their end of financial agreement, bought 20.00 BTC as test to if they would be efficient versus coinbase or meta and they bought it fine but...
