This is similar to what Google Wallet does right?
- giancarlostoro 9y agoUsed to do... Since they closed up Google Wallet. But yeah, it was easier to transfer money through Google Wallet.
- ezekg 9y agoAre you sure? I used Google Wallet a couple weeks back.
- jkaplowitz 9y agoCan confirm, I've used Google Wallet multiple times recently, including last night. My experience matches what they document here, except that I've never personally seen the rare upper bounds for debit card transactions or for sending via bank account: https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/6285486?hl=en https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/6285486?hl=en There was some rebranding news recently; you may see them consolidate various payment brands into the term Google Pay. But they're keeping their p2p payment feature. Disclosure: Although I used to work at Google, I don't now and have never worked on their payment tech. I'm just a satisfied user who finds PayPal/Venmo a shady enough company to avoid when decent alternatives exist to accomplish the goal.
- giancarlostoro 9y agoI'm thinking of the Wallet Card they used to have: https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/6285510?hl=en https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/6285510?hl=en Google Wallet hasn't behaved the same for me since.
- thewildwes 9y agoI still use this service very regularly, including yesterday. Works well and instantly.
- Viper007Bond 9y agoI pay my townhouse rent via Google Wallet. I assure you it's alive and well.
- pgm8705 9y agoGoogle Wallet doesn't charge you, though.
- dmihal 9y agoThe problem is convincing your friends to use Google wallet. Venmo has a network effect on its side.
