You Can Now Use Apple Pay and Google Pay on Cash App
The payment app's new "Pools" peer-to-peer payment option lets you use your digital wallet to pay
You and your pals can now use Apple Pay and Google Pay to contribute to group payments through Cash App. The popular digital payment app announced its peer-to-peer group payment feature, Pools, which lets you set up and track group payments, including those from Apple Pay and Google Pay.
"With Pools, our customers now have a dedicated, easy-to-use solution for group payments," Cameron Worboys, head of product design at Cash App, said in a statement. "They can start a pool to collect the money in seconds, and then instantly transfer the funds to their Cash App balance when it's time to pay."
Cash App's group payment feature isn't unique to payment apps -- Venmo has its Groups and PayPal has its own Pool. But neither will let you and your pals use Google Pay or Apple Pay directly to contribute.
With Cash App's group payment feature, you can set up a pool with a target amount through the payment tab, then invite members to join and track payments (so now you can prove that Jeremy did not, in fact, contribute to the group gift). When members make a payment, you can transfer the money to your Cash balance.
The company said the feature is currently available to select current Cash App customers and will be rolled out broadly in the coming months.
