The Cash App, by Square, is a handy, convenient app that allows you to pay friends and family without having to have actual cash on hand, or even be in the same room.

It's a peer-to-peer payment app, that's simple to use. It's great for situations like splitting a pizza with some friends or requesting money from a friend, and both can be done digitally from your phone.

However, in order to do this you first have to link your bank or card to your Cash App account. If you don't link a card or bank account to your account you can still receive money, but you can't cash out or send money to others. You should note that Cash App does charge a 3% fee for sending money using a credit card.

Here's how link a bank account or a credit card to your Cash App.
