          At the time I started using Google Pay, existing and being from a company I had heard of. Not to mention on Android it was just there for you to use, you didn’t have to download another app.

          My roommate and I considered using PayPal but his PayPal account got locked and to this day a decade later, never unlocked.

          I’m going to be looking into both Venmo and Zelle now though.

          US citizens using their bank account to transfer fund to each other [impossible]

          This is because sharing bank account and routing number is not safe for many US banks which may allow unauthorized party to pull money from the account. Banks in the rest of the world typically operate in “push” only so they don’t have this issue.

            I still use a payment system called “cash”.

            It may not be cool or trendy, but the system has never had a server outage or network failure.

              I still use a payment system called “cash”.

              I can’t find that app in the play store? Where can I download it?
