Cashapp and Apple Pay are down as negative balance goes on Apple Pay

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Cashapp and Apple Pay are down as negative balance goes on Apple Pay.

Cash App was experiencing a system outage Thursday affecting multiple features in the peer-to-peer money sharing app, preventing some from accessing their money. The payment processing app Square was also down Thursday. 

Square and Cash App share the same parent company, Block. 

Users on social media complained of being unable to unlock their Cash App debit cards or seeing error messages when attempting to send money. Others said their businesses were unable to use the app to run credit card payments using Square, or even access appointments made through the platform to inform customers.

Last night I attempted to transfer money from my Cash App account (formerly Square Cash) to my Apple Pay account just as I have done monthly for over three years. The Cash App declined the transfer three times. No accounts, banks or card numbers have changed.

This morning I called Cash App Support (+1-855-351-2274), open from 6 AM to 5 PM Pacific Time. I was told that Cash App would no longer permit transfers specifically to Apple Pay, but they had no idea why. Furthermore, they said they knew of no message board or news source that would Announce such a policy decision. Not very impressive!
