The Mezu app is now defunct and you may be looking for other ways to send and receive money. The great news is that there are plenty of apps to help you out here.
Here are your top payment app options:
Venmo
If you want to transfer money between family members and friends, then Venmo is the way to go. You can send (and receive) money from a linked bank account, debit card, or credit card. You are only charged a fee if you transfer money from a credit card.
There are a couple of perks to using Venmo. The first is that it is very secure. You have to provide multiple authentication points to sign into the app and then there are QR code readers to make sure that the money is going to the right place. The other advantage is that it is a highly social app, great for connecting across other apps.
Cash App
This is the jack-of-all-trades payment app. If you want to send money, you can do so instantly for a small fee or send the money for free within three business days. You can link your credit card and bank account to the app and also create a debit card using Cash App.
The nice thing about this app is the privacy. You can identify people and, in turn, they can identify you via your phone number or email address. As an added bonus, you can also use the app to invest small amounts of money so that your wealth can build up over time without having to sacrifice much of your money.
PayPal
PayPal is one of the oldest payment services and continues to function really well. What makes this app stand out from the rest is that it can be just as easily used for personal use as for businesses and contractors. The transaction speed is fast as well – it is either instantly for a fee or one business day for free. Business transfers are charged an additional fee.
The other advantage is that PayPal boasts a number of security features. Not only is there two-step authentication and further email approval, but all the data is encrypted as well.
Zelle
If you are looking for a quick and easy way to transfer money, then look no further than Zelle. As long as both parties are signed up to the app, you can transfer the money in a matter of seconds. What’s more, the app works incredibly well with a number of banks and credit unions.
Despite the level of ease, Zelle isn’t lax when it comes to security at all. From authentication to monitoring features, you can find it all on this app. As a result, you can be sure that your money is going to the right person at the right time.
Remitly
Do you want to be able to transfer money internationally as well as locally? Then Remitly makes this simple for you to do. If you want to transfer money locally, then the cost is quite low and can be done within three to five business days.
While transferring money abroad costs more, the transaction is clearly laid out for you. You can see the fees associated with each country and can tell how much everything is going to cost upfront. The money is also sent across a secure severe with lots of encryption and authentication features.
Google Pay
The great thing about Google Pay is that it is available to anyone who has a Gmail address. Due to this, you can send and receive funds from a greater number of people. In fact, you can even pay for various items and services using Google Pay.
To add to this, there are no transaction fees. This allows you to keep the overall cost as low as possible. When sending money via a debit card, it can take up to 24 hours to transfer the money while bank transfers may take up to 3 days.
These are all the apps that can help you easily send money across a wide variety of platforms and cards. All you have to do is to discover which of these apps has the features that are just right for what you are looking for.
