X Money Launches with Ambitious Features—and Lingering Questions
What's happening
X Money launched in the U.S. on July 27, rolling out to X (formerly Twitter) Premium and Premium+ subscribers and bringing peer-to-peer payments, money transfers, FDIC-insured interest-bearing deposit accounts, and a Visa debit card into the app. Cross River Bank will power the offering as the banking-as-a-service partner that provides the FDIC-insured accounts and broader payment rails. The launch positions X as a contender in digital payments as it edges toward Elon Musk's 'everything app' vision, though availability is currently limited to paying subscribers.
Why it's trending
Because Elon Musk's plan to turn X into a financial 'super app' just moved from tease to live product, but only for Premium users, raising questions about scale and competition.
