IT House News, June 5, according to Bloomberg 4 reports, in an era of light-touchable payments, Twitter founder Jack Dossi's company Block wants to get more "magic."
Block under the flag Cash App launched a payment device for a flashy wand. The wand contains a chip and the user can complete the payment as if the bank card had been brushed or the payment had been made on a mobile phone at the time the account was closed.
This wand is a new attempt by Block to promote Cash App growth, targeting primarily young people and young people. Block also wishes to extend the idea of “chips embedded in everyday objects” to more physical equipment, attracting different groups of people in different forms. Theoretically, from health tracking bracelets to baseball caps, they can be paid carriers.
Block Hardware Manager Thomas Templeton said, "We see a unique opportunity to make payments visible for the first time and to be more social. Early testers told us that they like to carry wands with them and show them when they close, so we believe that clients are really interested in this product.”
According to the IT House, the wand design also draws on a wave of heat from social media. In recent months, a larger plastic wand, which can be inserted into credit cards, has been red on the Internet, satisfying a variety of use scenarios from the grocery store to the Disney world.
Cash App is primarily responsible for deposit account functions, and the new wand is tied to a debit account, not a traditional credit card.
However, Cash App continued to generate revenue for Block through its loan product, including a “buy-on-pay” feature that would be charged. Driven by the introduction of new and new functions, Cash App increased its gross profit in the first quarter by 38 per cent.
Within Block, Cash App is popular with youth and young groups and is seen as a strategy to open up new sources of wealth and long-term client groups. As long as Block fosters user loyalty, the young group is expected to continue for many years.
In a recent letter to shareholders, Dossi mentioned that the “green” scheme of Cash App was clearly younger. This program will provide a special identity to users with high frequency, multiple scenes using Cash App. Block estimates that the average age of the Cash App Green users is about 34 years, while the average age of the traditional bank competitors is about 50 years. “Cash App Green project reflects our concern for modern income earners. Modern income earners are a growing group of people in the labour force who receive income from a variety of dynamic sources, including hourly wages, casual work, free professions and entrepreneurship.”
