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.
