The payment services Cash App and Square are experiencing outages that may affect peer-to-peer payments, cash card purchases and other transactions.
The disruptions, which began Thursday, are affecting "multiple Square services," Square said in a status update Thursday. The outages may cause "slight delays" of money transfers, it added. Square and Cash App are owned by the same parent company, Block.
"We are currently experiencing issues with multiple Square services," Square said on X (previously known as Twitter) Thursday. "We understand how important it is for your business that our services be up and running, and we are actively working toward a fix."
