Peer to peer payment apps
Safety tips for using peer-to-peer (P2P) payment apps
Peer-to-peer (P2P) payment apps have transformed the way we transfer money, making it quick and convenient to send funds to friends, family and those you trust.
While these apps are an easy and convenient means to pay someone, they are not the safest way to purchase services or items from strangers and may limit dispute resolution after a bad outcome. Here are some great safety tips to keep in mind while using any cash app:
- Only send money to people you know and trust. With many of the apps, it is difficult to cancel a payment once you have sent it.
- Double-check your recipient's phone number and email. If you accidentally send it to the wrong place, you likely will not get it back.
- Treat these cash apps like cash. Once you authorize a payment to someone, it's quickly in their hands.
- Be cautious of deceptive payment schemes. An offer that sounds too good to be true probably is.
