What apps are you using for money transfers for services.

I use Venmo for $ transfers between friends, and to pay for local goods and services. What other apps are you using and what features do you like best.

I prefer Venmo over pay pal personally. I feel like most people only use these 2. I have never had a service or local goods offering request any other app personal.

Strongly lean towards Venmo for domestic but I've used Western Union for international. I do like all the integrations that Zelle offers, though.

Venmo is my go-to hands down, but some of my friends prefer Zelle (the steps seem to be a little longer, but the transfer is sometimes quicker)!

I use Venmo for ease and I like Paypal for another layer of security.

Zelle is great because all you need is the person's name and phone number and the money can be directly deposited into their account rather than going into an app first. I believe this only works with Chase bank users.

Zelle is my go to I use it for everything now. I even use it for splitting rent and bills with my roommates. Its goes straight into your bank account without a fee instantly! I honestly do not know why I ever used anything else before!

I personally think cash app is just okay, but Venmo works really well, and Zelle is my favorite by far! It’s instant!

I like Venmo but CashApp and Zelle are also really good.

I’m also a big fan of using PayPal when I purchase items online. It adds an additional layer of encryption.

Zelle has an app as well, but it has a much lower limit per day. All transfers through Zelle are immediate though so just depends what you're looking for.

100% of all the apps I've used, (venmo, cashapp, paypal, zelle, etc) my favorite has to be cashapp. It's really easy to use (can scan someone's code to connect), and has the opt-in to order a tangible card that has some pretty cool "boosts" that can be temporarily turned on like 5% off of groceries or 10% off of doordash. Can customize the card too!!

I used all the money transferring options in the past but nothing beats zelle. It’s super quick and the money instantly deposits into your bank account.

I agree with Liz and Mark on privacy. I wondered how I could see what others were buying. Not sure why this is standard operating on the site.

I use Venmo and Zelle. Once you have turned on the private feature of Venmo, it seems to stay like that unless you switch it.

Recently Venmo updated and the change is clunky. It doesn’t auto pop my friends until I’ve typed most of their name so I just visit my history to get to them faster.

Zelle is also available thru BECU though for personal accounts only, as far as it looks to me. Otherwise, also an easy method.

Venmo and PayPal for me too! (and agree, I always set my Venmo transactions to private because social sharing of payments is such a weird phenomenon!)
