Personal note:

I have a Nexus 4 and I am still looking for a good reason to get a Nexus 5.

App and Hardware: Automatic

I’ve just picked up an Automatic Link at an Apple Store earlier today. I have yet to install it on my car.

Automatic Link and Sticker

I’ve heard of Automatic for quite some times but I did not bother to buy it directly from their site. Now that Apple Store carries the Automatic Link, I bought one using EasyPay.

Automatic App is compatible with iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s. Public Beta of Automatic App for Android is coming in December. Only a few Android devices are currently supported.

Square Cash

Square-Cash-on-iPhone

From Square Press Release:

SAN FRANCISCO – October 15, 2013– Today Square, the company making commerce easy for everyone, introduced Square Cash; a new service that makes sending money as simple as sending an email.

With Square Cash, individuals no longer need to write checks, pay ATM fees or wait for forgotten loans from friends. Customers simply send an e-mail to the person they’re paying, and after the recipient enters their debit card number, money is directly transferred to their bank account.

…….

Square Cash is free to send and receive, and there is no signup process. Funds are directly deposited into the recipient’s bank account, rather than held in a stored balance account.

To send their first payment, customers simply compose an email by filling in the following fields:

  • To: [email address]
  • Cc: cash@square.com
  • Subject: $ [amount]
  • Send!

Customers then receive an email prompting them to link a debit card to fund their first payment. To accept a payment, the recipient enters their debit card number once, and will automatically receive funds to their debit card thereafter.

Square Cash is also available for Android and iOS.

One question: “What would happen if someone hijacked the initial email to link the debit card?”

By the way Gmail users can also send money through email using Google Wallet.
