In Denmark, the biggest bank have made an app where you sign up with your bank account and payment card. Then you can transfer money between friends (sending, asking and splitting). And it only requires you to login with a PIN code, and then you just use peoples mobile nr. There's obviously limits on how much can be transferred, but it's ideal for those small purchases. It's available on iOS, Android and even Windows Phone. Link to Android version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.danskebank.mobilepay https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.danskebank.... Currently free to use, but in some years there's a minor percentage fee.

In the U.S., some banks have this too. For example, Citibank offers a service like this called Popmoney to its customers for free. (Popmoney is actually available to anyone from their website[1], but if you use it from there it costs the sender 95 cents per transaction.) [1] https://www.popmoney.com https://www.popmoney.com

  They seem to have added most of the Features to the normal CBA app.

in the UK, Barclays have PingIt, which I use a lot with my friends for cinema tickets and such. the main issue is /knowing/ they can receive the money- sending it to some mobile number might not be good enough for them to retrieve it. (unless I know they have the pingit app)

  In Denmark, this app is almost universally owned, basicly anyone with a smartphone has it. The competing banks have tried to introduce their own system, but its dependant on users having their bank, which means nobody will actually use it, whereas this can be used by anyone with a Danish bank account.
