A safer experience for our customers
Empowering sellers with secure tools
From built-in fraud prevention to controls that help sellers manage customer interactions, Square is designed with safety in mind —especially for small businesses and family-run operations.
Helping families use money with confidence
Cash App offers safety-first features like parental controls, privacy settings, and account protections that make it easier for families to navigate money together.
Providing a secure platform for safe shopping
Afterpay is committed to protecting cardholder data through PCI-DSS Level 1 and ISO/IEC 27001 compliance and enabling customer reporting of suspicious transactions and security risks.
Taking a multilayered approach to safeguarding bitcoin
Bitkey uses a 2-of-3 multisig setup, so no single key can move your funds. Unlike singlesig wallets, where one stolen seed phrase is enough, Bitkey requires two keys -- making attacks far more costly and complex.
