Venmo got bought by Paypal. Maybe this will replace them before they go downhill.
Awesome product that's mobile oriented too. It's nice for my friends to not have to download an app to pay me back for one meal.
Don't see any kind of FAQ or further information. Would be nice to have that at the bottom of the page.
Does it work throughout the US? Square Cash doesn't work in a few states.

Our apologies! We'll be adding in a FAQ very soon.
In mean-time, email me if you have any questions? [email protected]

Sorry for hijacking, but does Ribbon have an opinion on Bitcoin?
And more importantly Dogecoin? I'm only half joking, IRL Dogecoin tipping would be awesome. I'm pretty sure that it could also drive adoption. If every user got a couple dogecoins with the app and saw how easy it is to send it to other people, they might start using it with real money.
(I'm in no way insinuating that Dogecoin is any less of a currency than dollar).

There's a ton of interest regarding bitcoins specifically in the office. We'll see what we can do.

Only for US?

Unfortunately, yes.
I'm an Egyptian national myself, so I completely understand this concern and would love to add it very soon but given regulations, compliance and financial service hurdles, it will likely take a while.

I couldn't find your merchant agreement easily. Can I sell electronic cigarettes with your service?
Some others like WePay and Balanced allowed it for a while and ended up changing their ToS but grandfathering vendors in. So, I have been waiting for a new payment service to come about.

It's the Square Cash equivalent of "billing" or requesting money. Just like it's easy to CC [email protected] when sending money, it's been great to be able to just send my URL to people when I'm collecting money.
