SoylentNews is people

from the define-"best" dept.

I have been using PayPal off and on since 2012 for 2 main reasons.

1 - Convenience, I didn't have to enter a credit card every time I purchased from a site other than usual trusted sites where I store my payment information, like Amazon, and sending payments to friends/family was simple.
2 - Peace of mind.

I recently found that the assumption of (2) was wrong, so I fired PayPal. I don't want to get into the details. Beyond being therapeutic, it won't really make life better moving forward.

That brings me to the question, since I have fired PayPal, I am sure that someone will want to send me, or more likely, have me send them money. Before I go out and research the providers on my own, I thought I would come here. What do Soylentils suggest for peer to peer payments?

    This used to be the answer. But unfortunately, starting in a few weeks, you will no longer be able to send and receive money directly to other people with Dwolla because they are changing their business model and focus.

    Dwolla is now directing people to a site called Current. https://current.com/ [current.com]

    I haven't used it yet, but it does appear to be an option for sending and receiving money to friends/family.

    who can tell what Current.com is doing -- their website says next to nothing and the only way to learn more is to give them an email address. No thanks.
