I think you folks should look seriously at the P2P accounts that many banks are starting to offer.
Mine just started ZashPay. I already had an account before the bank started. The bank is charging $1 while the fee in the direct site is .75.

PopMoney is not charging yet but probably will. The problem with them is you have to have it set up thru your bank to send, no direct accounts.

Neither of them charge to recieve. The fee is only on the send.

The settlements are done thru the ACH so it will probably take 1-2 business days for it to show directly into your bank account.

Explain more, please, if you can. Assume I'm a dummy on this (I am).

The banks are giving PP a run for the money. This and PopMoney are the 2 I know of. There is another member that commented in another post I did on this that they use INGDirect for the same thing. I do not know if they go thru one of these or have their own system.

Research is in order.

If you guys are going to move more than 20K between banks you'd better have your accounting squared away.

If you get audited and that money came from thin air, you will pay the maximum tax on it.

SE tax is about 15% then you get the privilege of paying fed income tax and state and local tax.

Personally, I would love to take the banks and the govt. comepletly out of the loop. If there is a strong enough "bond of trust" in a "community" either on or offline, then a P2P system like RipplePay would work well.

Who do you trust? And for how much?
