- stickmangallows 12y agoNot really. I tried send someone a large sum recently and my options were 3rd party payment sites (Paypal, Google Wallet etc), cash, or check. Direct transfers (ACH) do exist, but it's difficult to set up and so is usually between accounts owned by one person (bank<->bank, bank<->Paypal). Plus it takes 3-5 business days. I ended handing over a cashier's check.
- chc 12y agoThe concept exists, but it requires the payee to actually set that up.
