Block’s Cash App is reportedly making progress in its efforts to offer banking services to customers who mostly use the app to make payments. The number of the app’s users who have their paychecks directly deposited into their Cash App account rose by 25% year over year to reach 2.5 million in December, Bloomberg reported Thursday (April 3).
