Square Cash Adds a Cool Feature That Still Won't Make It Any Money

Jason Del Rey has been a business journalist for 15 years and has covered Amazon, Walmart, and the e-commerce industry for the last decade. He was a senior correspondent at Vox.

Square Cash, the payment service that lets you send money to others via email messages, said on Thursday that users can now start requesting payments from one or more people simply by sending a single email to all of their email addresses and entering “request@square.com” into the CC field.

Square Cash’s request function is free, like the money-sending feature, and is also available through the Square Cash app.
