What is Snapcash?  Snapcash is the newest addition to the Snapchat app in a recent update.  Snapcash is a way for users to give money via credit/debit card to users through the Snapchat messaging.

The owners behind Snapchat Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, and Reggie Brown teamed up with a rising credit-card processing company called Square and developed a portable phone attachment that allows you to charge cards with your phone.  According to Snapteam’s blog, they wanted to make a “fast, fun, and incredibly simple” way for users to pay for things.

Snapcash hasn’t really seen much of a take-off here at AHS, as many people are sceptical of the application’s newest addition.  Furthermore, many user do not know how to use it.  The following video below is a tutorial on how to setup and use Snapcash.
