Cash App is introducing a new contactless payment accessory called the Cash App Wand. The device is an NFC-enabled wand with an iridescent, star-topped design that users can carry on a keychain. Instead of using a phone or card, customers can tap the Wand at compatible contactless payment terminals to complete purchases. Multiple outlets describe the Wand as functioning like a debit card when used at tap-to-pay readers. Cash App positions it as a new hardware “form factor,” and PYMNTS reports the company refers to it under a broader category of payment form factors dubbed “Cash App Tags.” Digital Trends says the Wand is priced at $25. Wired frames the product as the first of several tap-to-pay hardware accessories coming from Cash App, indicating additional similar devices may follow. The reports are based on Cash App’s announcements and a press release dated June 4. Overall, the coverage emphasizes the Wand’s simple tap-to-pay approach, its NFC capability, and its role as an alternative to phone-based or card-based contactless payments.
