Congratulations @RoryOReilly and team for this milestone! And now Knot is working with most major fintechs—PayPal, Venmo, Chime, Klarna, OnePay, Bilt, etc.

[Rory O'Reilly @RoryOReilly]

We’re excited to announce that @KnotAPIs is now live with @CashApp.

The Cash App Card is one of the largest debit card programs in the United States. With Knot's CardSwitcher™, Cash App cardholders can instantly add their card across the merchants they use most, including Amazon, Apple, Walmart, Uber, and 100+ more, without ever leaving the app.

Cash App has always focused on creating intuitive financial experiences. Knot builds on that by driving activation and spend for Cash App, reducing churn and abandoned carts for merchants, and giving users a frictionless way to use their Cash App Card.

We’re proud to power an even more seamless Cash App Card experience and excited for what’s ahead. More to come.

Attention David Foster Wallace fans. My mentor, Steve Snider has written a behind the scenes account of the book cover he designed for Infinite Jest and it includes this tidbit.

“That spelling error was made by a young designer who prepared the mechanical, the art which includes instructions for the printer. Trivia fans may be interested to know that the young designer, Biz Stone, went on to achieve international fame, not for his typo, but as a co-founder and the patent holder of Twitter.”
