"These Cash App Terms of Service (the "Cash App Terms") are a legal agreement between you, as a current or prospective user of the Services, and Block, Inc., formerly known as "Square, Inc." (hereafter, "the Company," "we," "our" or us"), and governs your use of Cash App, a financial platform, which includes mobile applications, websites, software, cloud-based solutions, and other products and services (the "Service"), offered by the Company.— Excerpt from Cash App's Cash App Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Discretionary account suspension and closure provisions in prepaid account agreements interact with Regulation E and the CFPB's Prepaid Account Rule, which establish disclosure and error resolution requirements for prepaid accounts. State money transmission licensing requirements may also impose constraints on fund availability upon account closure. The CFPB has enforcement authority over prepaid account providers. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The combination of discretionary closure authority and the user's potential inability to access a Cash App Balance creates regulatory exposure if the closure process does not comply with Regulation E fund availability and error resolution requirements. The broad discretionary language may also raise questions under state consumer protection statutes. JURISDICTION FLAGS: States with money transmission licensing requirements may impose specific obligations on fund return timelines upon account closure. California's prepaid card regulations and similar state frameworks may limit the scope of discretionary closure authority. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Business account holders who process payments through Cash App are exposed to operational disruption if their account is suspended without notice. Enterprise procurement teams should assess the adequacy of Cash App's service level disclosures for business use cases. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should confirm that Cash App's account suspension and closure practices are implemented consistently with Regulation E notice and fund return requirements, and that the discretionary closure language does not supersede mandatory regulatory obligations. Documentation of suspension procedures and user notification practices is advisable.
