Block Will Pay $45 Million to Settle Multi-State Allegations of Misleading Cash App Security Claims
According to The Block, Block agreed to pay $45 million to settle with regulators in nearly 50 U.S. states. Regulators alleged that its Cash App exaggerated platform security safeguards, describing it as having fund protection capabilities comparable to traditional banks, but failed to effectively prevent fraud and did not provide adequate customer support and fraud reporting channels.
