With two additional clicks I can send a QR code made by my bank to my friend who can transfer his part to me. Both transfers happen within a second. On the way home, I pay for public transport by bank transfer by holding my card to the reader when getting on the bus, then off the bus. It's simple and secure. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] helenslunch@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) It's called Zelle.

And sell your purchase history.

It's free for the end user, though that 50 to 75 cents is passed on to the end user anyhow. (probably by offering slightly lower interest rates, or whatever.) Additionally, Zelle is getting in on data brokerage; like Visa. That said, it should be noted that that fee isn't so much to make money as it was to maintain the service. Zelle's purpose was to break Venmo and Cash App. (which is why it's integrated into your banking apps.) permalink fedilink source parent [–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) You don’t get out much or you live in BFE. Plenty of restaurants bring you a QR code on the check. I’d much prefer to do that than to hand my card off to a stranger to do god-knows-what with for 5-10 minutes in the back room. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] helenslunch@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
