The amount of the transfer is $20? Or the fee is $20? I don't understand the point you are trying to make. Personal bank account transfers are free with PayPal. What is the context if your 7-Eleven comment? Who are you sending $20 to? "You think I'm joking." -EvenBob |

The amount I send is $20 to a friend who goes to the nearest 7-11 and withdraws $20 from an ATM. There are no fees involved. The process takes minutes. I am saying that a bank account to bank account transfer in this amount would be impossible, both because of the time involved and the fees. But in Sweden now virtually 2/3 of the people use an app that allows them to go bank account to bank account without a third party like PayPal. A sizeable percentage of the population has simply abandoned cash entirely. |

I'm with you on the time (a couple of days), but there are no fees if you send money from your bank account to a friend via PayPal and mark the transaction as personal. Then they have to withdraw that money into their bank account (or leave it in PayPal to pay someone else). I'm curious now about these $20 transfers: what is the source of your funds (I'm guessing PayPal balance) and also what is the destination that allows your friend to use a 7-Eleven ATM to withdraw? Does PayPal have a partnership with 7-Eleven where you can use their ATMs to withdraw directly from your PayPal balance? I'm not aware of such a setup, but sounds cromulent to me.

AcesAndEights Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 6 Posts: 351 | I see now PayPal has a debit card that you can use at MoneyPass, frequently located inside 7-Eleven locations. So I think I get the flow now. I actually used MoneyPass ATMs to wire cash into my Bovada account back in the day. "You think I'm joking." -EvenBob |

I have a PP debit card to access my PP balance. I also have a PP credit card. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I find it interesting that you trust PP more than you trust the banks since you have a PP debit card. That is 180 deg. from where I am at. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

Without a bank account it's the only way to access the money in the account. It's never there for long, I always transfer it immediately to a CC or pay bills with it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

This was raised to $60,000 in 1983. As of 2005, CDIC covers $100,000 in eligible deposits per insured category at each CDIC member institution in the event of a failure. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is one of two agencies that provide deposit insurance to depositors in U.S. depository institutions, the other being the National Credit Union Administration, which regulates and insures credit unions. The FDIC is a United States government corporation providing deposit insurance to depositors in U.S. commercial banks and savings institutions. The FDIC was created by the 1933 Banking Act, enacted during the Great Depression to restore trust in the American banking system. Since the passage of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2011, the FDIC insures deposits in member banks up to US$250,000 per ownership category.
FDIC insurance does not protect you against the risk of PayPal's insolvency. Yes, PayPal works very much like a bank, but has not been classified by the FDIC as a bank. You can link a bank account to your PayPal account so you don't have to keep very much in there. For large sum of moneys some people just pay the fees and do bank wiretransfers.
MoneyPass (33,000 locations) is the second-largest surcharge-free ATM networks nationwide (behind All Point Network). MoneyPass was owned by USBank but the 8,000 7-Eleven locations are often the most convenient. The company was just sold to Fiserv https://www.fiserv.com/ |

Way to go, Springfield! "Embiggens"? Hmm. I never heard that word before I moved to Springfield. I don't know why. It's a perfectly "cromulent" word. -------------------------------- In 2019 the budget of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) is $1,115 million and the United States Mint is $2,438 million. Over a third of the banknotes printed by the BEP are $1 bills. South Korea is basically saying instead of spending all that money on coins and small denomination banknotes, let's just spend it on the infrastructure to digitally handle small transfers of money. |
