Snapchat now lets you send money with 'Snapcash'

Snapcash lets users send money to their friends through Snapchat as easily as they'd send a hastily captioned selfie plastered with tacky emoticon stickers.



Launched in partnership with Square, Snapcash is Snapchat's first product launched with the help of another company, they shared in a blog post.

And unlike Snapchat messages, cash sent through the app doesn't disappear after you open it - hopefully.

'It's secure, we promise'

Snapchat's blog post says the company wanted to create something like Square's Square Cash feature, but more "Snapchat-y."

Snapcash is "fast, fun, and incredibly simple," as the company describes it. Once you've entered a debit card number - stored with Square - you type a dollar sign and an amount in a chat and press the green button to send it.
