Rationale
GoBank offers several features that align with the Cash App concept. It provides a mobile checking account with a Visa debit card, supports early direct deposit, and allows users to send and receive money. While it doesn't explicitly mention commission-free stock or bitcoin trading, it does offer budgeting tools and a 'Money Vault' for savings, which aligns with the broader personal finance aspect. The website also highlights fraud tips and security, and ATM access with potential fee waivers. The P2P transfer is limited to GoBank users, which is a slight deviation from the broader P2P of Cash App, but still a core P2P function.
