Elon Musk's X has announced a partnership with Visa to introduce the X Money Account, marking a significant step toward transforming the platform into an "everything app."

This collaboration makes Visa the first partner in this initiative, which aims to seamlessly integrate financial transactions within the X platform.

"Another milestone for the Everything App: Visa is our first partner for the X Money Account, which will debut later this year," stated CEO Linda Yaccarino, sharing the news on January 28.

The X Money Account will feature secure and instant funding to user wallets via Visa Direct, allowing users to connect their debit cards for peer-to-peer payments and providing an option for immediate bank transfers.

"Visa Direct will make it possible for U.S. X Money Account users to fund and transfer money in real-time with their debit card," Visa emphasised, expressing excitement about the partnership.

X Payments LLC, operating under various state-issued money transmitter licenses, ensures compliance with U.S. financial regulations, building user trust as new payment services are introduced.

This initiative aligns with Musk's broader vision of creating a multifunctional ecosystem similar to China's WeChat, combining social networking with financial services.

"First of many big announcements about X Money this year," Yaccarino stated.

As X continues to expand in 2025, additional features and partnerships are expected to further integrate financial services into the app.
