Financial technology company providing payment processing, point-of-sale systems, Cash App, and business services.
I like what Square (Block) is trying to do and the core product is good. However, I've experienced some bugs in the app, and when something goes wrong, the support is frustratingly slow. For a tech company, the technology should work flawlessly. Still use it for certain things but not ready to make it my primary.
Pros: Good core concept, innovative features
Cons: Bugs in app, slow support response
Square (Block) has a polished, well-thought-out app with features that genuinely help. Round-up savings, instant notifications, budget categories, and free international spending are all excellent. Only drawback is that for more complex banking needs like mortgages, you still need a traditional bank.
Pros: Excellent app features, free international spending, savings tools
Cons: Limited product range compared to full banks
I use Square (Block) as a secondary financial tool alongside my main bank. For what it does, it's good. However, it can't fully replace a bank account for me. The interest rates and product range are limited. Good as a complement but not as a complete solution.
Pros: Good as secondary tool, clean interface
Cons: Can't replace a full bank, limited products
As someone who sends money internationally regularly, Square (Block) has saved me thousands in fees compared to traditional banks. The exchange rate is transparent, transfers are fast, and I can track everything in real-time. The multi-currency account is perfect for my needs. Absolute game-changer.
Pros: Huge savings on international transfers, transparent rates, fast
Cons: Primarily useful for international users
