Elon Musk's X Launches X Money Banking Service for U.S. Premium Users
Elon Musk's social media platform X has launched X Money, a banking service integrated into its app for U.S. Premium and Premium subscribers. The service offers deposit accounts, peer-to-peer payments, bill pay, wire transfers, physical checks, and a Visa debit card with cashback and no foreign transaction fees. Deposits are held at FDIC-insured Cross River Bank, with up to 6% annual yield available under certain conditions. The rollout aims to transform X into an "everything app" similar to China's WeChat, competing with established payment platforms.
