X Launches Money Payment Service in US for Premium Subscribers
Developing story first seen 3 hours ago
X has launched X Money, its new payments platform, in the United States, making it available to X Premium and Premium Plus subscribers aged 18 and over. The move marks a shift from the previous invite-only beta to wider access across the platform's paid subscriber tiers, and is a significant step in owner Elon Musk's long-stated ambition to turn X into an "everything app" combining social media with financial services.
The rollout allows eligible subscribers to send and receive money directly through the platform, building on infrastructure X has been developing since acquiring relevant money-transmission licences in the US. It follows months of limited testing and represents the broadest release yet of the feature, though full access beyond Premium subscribers has not been confirmed.
