Cash App’s Magic Wand for Contactless Payments

An NFC-enabled novelty that might just bewitch your local café.

Cash App has conjured a whimsical solution to the age-old problem of misplaced phones: the Cash App Wand. This iridescent, star-topped device allows users to make contactless payments with the wave of a magic wand, or rather, a card paired via NFC.


While DIY enthusiasts are crafting their own payment wands and giant Nintendo-themed coins, Cash App’s product is more compact. It comes complete with a keychain for easy attachment to your belt or bag, making it perfect for those frequent drive-thru transactions where quick access can save the day.


The wand targets teens, given that 1 in 5 US teenagers are already using the Cash App Card. For $25, eligible customers aged 13 and over can grab one of these while supplies last. It’s secure too, with features like locking and real-time transaction alerts to keep your finances safe.


If you’re not into wands, fear not! Cash App has plans for multiple designs in the future, promising limited runs before making them generally available later this summer. So whether you prefer a wand or a new design, there’s sure to be something magical waiting for you in the world of contactless payments.
