I've tried sending money overseas with other approaches and was shocked at how fragmented and inconvenient it was compared to things like WhatsApp, etc.
Different services only seem to offer abilities in different countries/markets, some require complicated sign-up processes, others require a ton of information about the receiver, etc.
- rglullis 4y agoYou are listing reasons to explain why it is easier, but not why they depend on WhatsApp. If sending money is actually important, it doesn't matter if you can do it in the most convenient way possible. It just matters that it is possible.
- GWBullshit 4y agoSo ... you're saying ... that it "doesn't matter" if you can send money in the most convenient way possible ... it just matters that it's possible? Ok ... so then ... why do people seem to consistently en masse choose to do it "the most convenient way possible" with things like WhatsApp? I don't know, it just seems like given the choice between sending money conveniently and sending money inconveniently, they seem to prefer to do so conveniently. I could be wrong though, maybe WhatsApp flashes subliminal messages directing them to choose WhatsApp to send money.
- rglullis 4y agoNo, I am saying that, when the convenient way is not available (for example when your account is blocked) you can still use alternatives.
