      Or just use bank transfer. It’s the same as paying in cash. Do Americans still have to use third parties to send money?

        It’s better, lot less reversals, but you don’t get the anonymity benefit from it and transfers outside your own country get really expensive

        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.

        I think it depends on what services your bank offers. My bank offers Zelle transactions rather than handing out your checking account number.

      Most small and medium businesses don’t have crypto. They use corporate P cards. So a business would call me if they launched something and the site tanked in sales. 2500 on their corporate card and their problem is fixed.

      There is still a stigma for crypto.

        Yea it’s mainly for people to people transaction, not really suit for company payments. It’s a lot harder to fill taxes and stuff with it
