The app, one of the products of payments firm Block, has been operating in the United Kingdom since 2018.
The payments application Cash App, launched by Block, will be ceasing operations in the United Kingdom after six years.
In a July 18 notice on the payment app’s terms of service, Cash App UK said it would close starting on Sept. 15. According to the app, users can expect “their funds remain safeguarded until withdrawn, even after our service closes.”
“We do not make decisions like this lightly, as we know they impact our customers, our partners, and our team members who have helped us build to where we are today,” said the app.
