 What’s the difference between Spend accounts and other money-sending services?

Unlike some other services for sending and receiving money, Spend accounts have:

• No fees.
• No minimums. You can send and receive any amount of money up to $5000 per day.
• No maximum number of transactions.
• No security questions.
• No need for a friend’s email or phone number. This allows you to send and receive money from anyone without giving them your personal information.
