A post shared on Facebook claims CNN reported that mobile payment service Cash App has gone bankrupt.

 

Verdict: False

The claim is inaccurate. Cash App recently faced outages, but the company has not gone bankrupt.

Fact Check: 

Cash App and Square, both subsidiaries of parent company Block, experienced outages last week that were said to potentially cause “slight delays” in money transfers, according to CBS News. Square made a statement reassuring its users that the outage stemmed from a problem with its Domain Name System (DNS) and was not a result of a cybersecurity attack, USA Today reported.

A Facebook post claims Cash App is facing bankruptcy. The post shares this claim in text format over an image of a sky.

“Man CNN just said Cash App went bankrupt and any funds you had in your account would have to be awarded to you through bankruptcy court,” the caption reads.

Although Cash App has experienced outages recently, there is no evidence that the company has gone bankrupt. An article on the subject cannot be found on CNN’s website or any of its verified social media accounts.

There are no credible news reports about Cash App going bankrupt. (RELATED: Did CNN Publish This Tweet About Volodymyr Zelenskyy?)
