An app meant to facilitate mobile payments, Cash App made the Dirty Dozen List over concerns that many are using it for monetary transactions related to sexual exploitative practices.

"Cash App is consistently ranked by law enforcement and other experts as the top payment platform used for sextortion, buying and selling of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), prostitution, sex trafficking, and host of other crimes," noted NCOSE.

"Cash App's very design appeals to bad actors. The anonymity, quick transfer capabilities, and lack of meaningful age and identity verification allow illegal transactions to fester."

According to NCOSE, the 2023 Federal Human Trafficking Report found that, from 2019 to 2022, Cash App "was the most identified payment platform used in commercial sex transactions, followed by PayPal and Venmo."
