Cash App, a popular peer-to-peer payment app launched in 2013 by Block Inc., announced on Thursday in a notice on its website that it would shut down operations in the United Kingdom. This marks the end of a six-year journey since Cash App entered the UK market in 2018 as its first international foray.
The company said, “We never make decisions like this lightly, as we know they impact our customers, partners, and team members who have helped us build to where we are today.”
The statement aligns with Cash App’s strategic focus on deepening its efforts within the United States while deprioritizing global expansion. Nothing else will change regarding Cash App’s operational functionality.

Cash App has gained prominence through mobile-based money transfer services and other financial services, such as investing in stocks and Bitcoin. However, it competes in an area dominated by PayPal’s Venmo and bank-centric Zelle.
An earlier report by NBC in February also showed that Cash App was under scrutiny from regulators in the US regarding compliance practices after a whistleblower’s allegations.
Despite these challenges, Block posted strong first-quarter earnings, with Cash App driving much of its $2.09 billion gross profit and underlining its substantial presence in the fintech space.
