Cool service for those of us that haven't heard of it yet.
Like the site - simple like the service - but MAN does that ultra-thin typeface look wonky/jilty on Chrome... Wish they had gone with a slightly heavier face.

"No more pricing grids. No more fine print. Sending and receiving cash is free without gimmicks."

Hmmm
"There are no unnecessary hurdles between you and your cash. Deposits happen within 1-2 business days."
I wonder if their profit scheme is built on the holding time where neither the sender or receiver have the funds in their account?
I'm presuming it's under the control of Square during that time?

Wonder what their money making angle will be. Data harvesting for money transfers and the attached email message content?

Square Up founder and former founder of Twitter Jack Dorsey is a straight-up rainmaker. Everything this guy touches turns to gold.

Users can send up to $250 per week without giving Square anything besides their debit card information. Users need to provide their full name, phone number, date of birth and the last four digits of their Social Security number or by providing their phone number and linking their Facebook account to increase their weekly limit to $2,500, according to Square.

Earlier this year, Google also made it possible for some users to send each other money over email, using Gmail and Google Wallet.
Users simply compose an email using the Gmail desktop website and click on the attachment option. Instead of attaching a photo, users click the dollar sign and are then prompted to enter the amount they want to send.
If users connect their Google Wallet account with their bank account, money is free to send. If not, payments can be sent by linking users' credit or debit cards, but a 2.9% fee per transaction will be applied.
However, users who need to send a lot of money will like Google Wallet because it allows them to send up to $50,000 per five day periods.

I'm guessing there's still a bank verification process so the first payment isn't actually that fast right? Probably takes more like a week.
