DISTRIBUTED-WORK-MODEL/SAN FRANCISCO -- Today, Cash App announces its integration with Google Play, giving consumers a preferred alternative payment option when checking out on their Android smartphones or tablets. This partnership represents an opportunity to engage with a broad range of consumers, particularly in the gaming space.

“We're continuously expanding payment options on Google Play, and adding Cash App Pay is a significant step in giving users more choice and convenience while meeting their evolving payment preferences,” said Pete Albers, Director, Google Play Retail & Payments Activation.

With approximately $3 trillion* in annual consumer spending being funneled outside of the traditional financial system, younger shoppers are looking to alternative payment solutions like Cash App Pay when shopping.
