Financial services platform Cash App is rolling out a new campaign, designed to showcase how users can take control of their financial future through smarter banking and investing.
"Cash In" was created in partnership with creative agency Anomaly and directed by comedian and actor Ramy Youssef.
It highlights how Cash App’s suite of banking and investment tools helps consumers capitalize on everyday opportunities.
In a statement, Youssef emphasized the importance of capturing real, everyday moments that resonate with audiences through "Cash In:"
“I love getting to make commercial work that feels like a real slice of life — a little window into actual moments with actual people.
That's what I loved about working with the Cash App and Anomaly teams on their latest campaign — finding those moments, the humor, the humanity, the details and depth, and bringing them to life.”

Cash App’s use of humor and relatable storytelling reinforces the power of authentic brand messaging as consumers increasingly favor transparency over traditional ads.
Cash App’s Ads Prove Finance Can Be Funny
“Tips” features TikTok creator Leo Gonzalez as a delivery driver chatting with a restaurant worker about futuristic technology — everything from AI to self-buttoning shirts.
When they tease the chef about his growing wealth, he casually checks his Cash App balance, proving he’s financially ahead of them.
The ad wraps up with the message: "Auto-split your check into Stocks, Bitcoin, and Savings when you bank through Cash App."
Supporting the hero film are two additional 60-second spots with shorter 30-second cutdowns.
In “Wingin’ It,” an ambitious production assistant shares a moment with a delivery driver while en route to a photoshoot full of marble busts.
As the driver debates the merits of Spanish marble over Italian, he surprises her with a last-minute delivery charge.
Without hesitation, she pays using Cash App’s overdraft coverage, demonstrating the confidence that comes with financial flexibility.

Cash App’s expansion into automated investing, overdraft protection, and financial education highlights a shift toward embedded finance.
To stay competitive, businesses should explore ways to integrate financial wellness tools into their offerings to boost customer loyalty.
Previously, Anomaly partnered with Visa to bring new meaning to its iconic tagline through the "Typewriter" campaign.
