Founder & CEO of Square, Jack Dorsey said
“Peer-to-peer transfers continued to be the primary driver of customer acquisition for Cash App.”
He believes that, with the launch of new products and the new Cash App’s interface, the number of customers using Cash App daily has increased. The increase in the number of daily active customers of Cash App is by 80% over the year in the fourth quarter. This is even growing faster than monthly active customers.
Also, the launch of fractional equity investment schemes in the fourth quarter attracted customers towards the adoption and engagement across the broader Cash App ecosystem. Within the first three months since its launch, equity investing has seen the fastest adoption of any product ever launched by Cash App.
