Cross River Powers X Money — The First P2P Payments Experience Built Into a U.S. Social Media Platform
Landmark collaboration brings embedded banking and peer-to-peer payments to millions of users within X’s social ecosystem, underscoring Cross River’s position as the trusted infrastructure provider for the world’s largest and most ambitious platforms
Cross River Bank (“Cross River”), a technology infrastructure provider that offers embedded financial solutions today announced it will power X Money, the financial services platform built directly in the X app, as the social network advances its vision of becoming the everything app.
Through the collaboration with Cross River, X becomes the first social media platform in the United States to embed FDIC-insured, interest-bearing accounts, a Visa debit card, and broader payment capabilities directly into its platform. Cross River's regulated infrastructure and access to payment rails power the experience, giving X users faster, more flexible access to their money without ever leaving the app.
With Cross River providing the banking backbone and X connecting users across the United States, the collaboration represents a new standard for money movement, combining compliance, speed, and scale in a way that meets the needs of today’s digital-first consumers. By enabling seamless, in-app finance, this will unlock a future where financial services live within the platforms that consumers already use every day.
