    Most of our banks have Zelle, which lets us send money from one bank account directly to another. You can to use the associated email address, phone number, or name. I think it shows you the name on the account? I’m honestly not positive as I so rarely use it. But even then you could create a business account. But not many people use it. Most people prefer Paypal, CashApp, or Venmo.

      Sounds like PayID in Australia. I find it pretty good and it’s starting to get more popular. And yeah with ours you can just set up a new email and link it to an account, then it’ll let you choose if you want it to show John Smith or just J Smith when someone sends you money. You can also use a phone number or an ABN (Australian business number).

      PayPal is still more popular overall, but I prefer payid for the instant access to the money so I’m glad it’s gaining momentum. Nothing but PayPal ever took off over here.
