The service will enable person-to-person payments via debit cards, allowing users to transfer funds to bank accounts, similar to Venmo. Additionally, users will be able to deposit money into an “X Wallet.”

Both Yaccarino and X owner Elon Musk have long envisioned integrating financial services into the platform as part of their goal to transform X into an “everything app.” While details remain limited, Yaccarino hinted at more announcements to come regarding X Money’s expansion.
