Send Money With X Money
X Money turns the social app into a practical wallet that pays interest and moves cash between users without leaving the platform. Eligible U.S. subscribers can hold balances, earn competitive yields, and spend with a branded Visa card.
Switching between banking apps, payment apps, and your social feed adds friction every time you need to split a bill or move money.
Hereβs a Cool Tip: Check for the Money tab in your X app and set up the account if it appears.
X has started embedding these functions directly into the platform many people already open dozens of times a day.
Eligible U.S. users can now hold dollars, earn interest, send funds to other X handles, and spend with a physical or virtual Visa card without jumping apps.
Feature Explanation
X Money is an integrated financial service built into the X app.
It provides a stored-value account held at Cross River Bank (Member FDIC), instant peer-to-peer transfers to other X users, support for wires and mailed checks, early direct deposit, and an X Card (Visa debit) that works wherever Visa is accepted.
Users can earn up to 6.00% APY on eligible balances.
Premium+ subscribers qualify for the full rate.
Premium subscribers may reach it after meeting qualifying direct-deposit requirements.
Eligible purchases with the X Card earn 3% cashback. ATM fees are reimbursed, and there are no foreign transaction fees on the card.
Deposits receive standard FDIC coverage up to $250,000, with a cash-sweep program that can extend aggregate coverage up to $10 million across participating banks for eligible balances.
The service matters because it reduces app-switching for people already active on X.
Creators can receive tips or payouts more easily. Travelers benefit from the no-foreign-fee card and free ATM reimbursements.
Everyday users gain a high-yield place to park short-term cash.
It is newly available in a phased U.S. rollout to Premium and Premium+ subscribers rather than a fully open launch.
What You'll Gain
Earn competitive interest on cash that would otherwise sit idle in a traditional low-yield account.
Send money to or request money from other X users instantly with no fees on platform transfers.
Spend or withdraw with a Visa card that carries no foreign-transaction fees and reimburses ATM charges.
Receive direct deposits up to two days early and manage wires or mailed checks from the same place.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Here's how to do it.
