Square Cash lets you swap dollars via text message

Late last year, Square introduced a service called Cash that lets you send money to anyone in the US with just their email address. You could either do so with a regular ol’ email app — simply CC cash@square.com in an email to the recipient with the dollar amount in the subject line — or you could download the Square Cash app to make the process easier. With the latest Cash app update, however, there’s a special bonus feature if you decide to use the app to send money — you’ll be able to send money with their phone number as well. Just enter in the number manually or you can let the app access your contacts list. The recipient will then get a text message with a link to download the Cash app if they haven’t already, and with just a few steps, they’ll get their money. In addition to this new feature, you can now track payments and requests via push notification. Plus you’ll now be able to link all of your email addresses and numbers to a Profile account so it’s that much easier for folks to send you funds.
