Cash App UK to cease operations, ending its 6-year venture since entering in 2018. The decision aligns with US focus amid competitive fintech market scrutiny
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.

Challenges and Future Prospects
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.
