Square Lets Users Pay Friends with a Simple Click
Jamie Danielle Munro — March 27, 2014 — Tech
Cash transfer can be an annoying process, especially if certain banks charge ridiculous fees. Square is a company based in San Francisco that's looking to change this with its new service and app.
The app can send a money request to friends who owe you some cash, and individuals can also use it to send money to people. After going to the service, individuals must email the person who they are doing the transaction with, cc Square and also put the amount of money in question in the subject line. Whoever gets the email just puts in their debit account, and the money is either inputted or sent out, depending on the nature of the transaction.
Apparently this way of cash transfer is perfectly safe. One thing is for sure: it's certainly a great way to follow up with friends who owe you money!
