I've started using MobilePay — the Danish send-money-to-anyone-with-a-phone-number system — rather than a debit/credit card wherever it's offered.
I've usually provided my phone number already, as part of the delivery address, so it's a click to choose MobilePay, another to confirm the number, then I fingerprint-unlock the MobilePay app and swipe to confirm the payment request that appears.
- rvense 5y agoIt's not really "send-money-to-anyone-with-a-phone-number", it's "send-money-to-anyone-with-the-mobilepay-app-installed" - and it only works on iPhones and unrooted Android phones with Google services enabled. As someone who doesn't have it, it's very rapidly become the thing that makes me feel the most like a second-class citizen.
- Symbiote 5y agoIt would be nice if they'd also implement it using online banking. The British version (PayM) isn't used much, but at least you can add a phone number to your own account within normal internet banking, and send money to a number linked to an account without using either side using an app.
