How do you transfer money from a bank account without a debit card
Safe and Affordable: How Money Orders Work
Money orders are like checks but aren’t tied to a bank account. You pay upfront and mail the money order to the recipient, who can cash it in. You can get them at places like Walmart, CVS, post offices, and some gas stations, usually for $1-$2. They offer a safe alternative to sending cash, providing a receipt as proof of payment. You can also cancel it if it hasn’t been cashed yet.
Easy Money Transfers: PayPal vs. Venmo
PayPal lets you send money using an email or phone number in over 190 countries. Domestic transfers are free if you use your PayPal balance or linked bank account. Credit card transfers come with a 2.9% fee. International transfers cost 0.5% to 3.9%, depending on the payment method.
Venmo lets you send money via a mobile app. It’s free for transfers using a linked bank account or Venmo balance, but a 3% fee applies to credit card transfers. Venmo also functions like a social media platform, allowing users to see and like transaction posts. I need this a new title
