Come Halloween and holiday season would start with a bang. One thing that most of us right now are busy with is gearing up for it and why not, it's that time of the year when the whole family comes together be it Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas. The best thing that I love about the holiday season is the giving and receiving part, gifts and cash. I know this sounds materialistic but this surely spreads a smile on your and your loved ones face.

Remember Square, the tiny plastic device with magical powers... which is a card reader that can be attached with any smartphone that makes paying up for things seem like a piece of cake, without the need of actual cash? Yeah, the same one!

Square has recently launched a new service called the Cash. Initially this service was available to a few users but now after testing and feedback from the users this service is open to all users in the US.

Wondering what this service does?

Well, Cash lets users send money to anyone by way of sending an email. As simple as that!

This is the safest and the fastest way to send money, without the need of any signup. All that you have to do is link you debit card and start sending money. This service is absolutely free and secure. You can also confirm or reject any transfer and the money is automatically deposited to receiver's bank account within 1-2 business days.

Here's how this service works:

1. Compose an email with the following details -

To: alycia4545@gmail.com (the email address of the person you are sending money to)
Cc: cash@square.com (to inform Cash to process the payment)
Subject: $450 (the amount of money you are sending)
Here's some money for your textbooks. I hope your first week of classes goes well! - Mom (a message to the recipient)

2. Link your debit card

For the first time when you send the email, Cash will send you an email in return asking you your debit card information. Once you enter your information, the service would automatically link your email address to your bank account so that you don't have to enter the information every time you send someone the money.


One your cash is sent, Cash would confirm you of the transfer and the recipient will be emailed a link to easily deposit their cash to their bank.


Cash is a must use service or to be more precise a life saver for the upcoming holiday season. Send you kids, friend, peers cash instantly with Cash!
