就支付服務而言,Cash App不算是一種破壞式創新,且支付的淨利也不高,Block應該也知道這件事,所以除了支付外,他還提供了股市交易和比特幣交易的功能,透過合併澳洲的Buy Now Pay Later服務商Afterpay,提供消費者借貸服務,Block和國內金融業在做的事很像,都是企圖成為客戶在金融的一站式入口。可以看到現在各家金融App都把銀行、證券、保險等服務整合在一起。
So this product adoption on critical products like Cash App Cards leads to greater activity on our platform stronger engagement and ultimately inflows per active.Amrita Ahuja, COO & CFO of Blcok on Q1’23 Earnings Call
近期公司高管發言摘錄
Amrita Ahuja : So if we look at Q1 growth, monthly transacting actives were $53 million in March, up 17% year-over-year. This is really driven by both the virality of our peer-to-peer network effects as well as increasing focus on leveraging marketing and acquisition tools to drive qualified new customers and higher product adoption over time. We've been targeting using marketing, new and higher-value audiences while also remaining disciplined in how we deploy those funds to ultimately see returns. - Q1’23 Earnings Call
Jack Dorsey : There are 3 principles guiding our investment framework: 1. Ensure our investments are focused on customer retention and growth. 2.Account for ongoing costs of the business, including stock based compensation.3. Utilize industry standard conventions that are simple to communicate and to understand. - Q4’22 Earnings Call - Prepared Remarks
Jack Dorsey : Payments is inherently social. There's a reason that Cash App remains in the top 10 of the App Store every day. A lot of the benefit we get from customers and just the very model, the network effects built into it is the fact that someone wants to pay someone else, and they send a Cash App request or actually send money, and that person downloads the app. And that's just at the very, very base foundational layer. - Q1’22 Earnings Call
