Block, Inc. is the parent company behind Square and Cash App, building software and hardware that help businesses and individuals move money and manage commerce. Originally founded as Square to simplify payments for small merchants, the company expanded into consumer finance with Cash App and broadened its merchant tools to include invoicing, point-of-sale software, and card-present hardware. In 2021 the organization rebranded to Block, Inc. to reflect a portfolio that spans payments, seller tools, and new financial services.
Block's portfolio on this site highlights three of its flagship mobile products: Cash App for peer-to-peer money transfers and personal finance, Square Invoices for creating and sending bills, and Square Point of Sale for in-person and online transactions. The company has grown from a POS startup into a multi-product platform used by millions of sellers and consumers globally. Notable milestones include a public listing, widespread adoption of Cash App, and continuous expansion of merchant features and hardware that support businesses of many sizes.
