Cash App said on Monday that customers were seeing negative account balances as the platform's in-app and phone support services were both down.
This isn't the first time Cash App has caused frustration to many. Earlier this month, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued a warning about money-sharing apps including Cash App and Venmo saying users should take caution for long-term usage. The agency said there is a lack of federal protections that consumers would get at a bank -- putting money at risk.
