Paypal Alternative ?

neckbeardthethird · 28 May 2019 at 16:12

Does anyone know any alternatives to PayPal which allow me to send money to someone from a CREDIT card (not debit card) linked to my account ? It's possible in PayPal but I've yet to find an alternative company that allow you to send money via a credit card, only debit cards or direct from bank.

Any helps appreciated

Skrill ? Not sure if they allow it but they are a big provider. They are owned by netteller

Here's one, Joseph Odermatt, known by his religious name as Eliseo María and by his papal name as Peter III, is the current Palmarian Catholic Church pope.

Trust @StoutMeister to make it an ecumenical matter. The money is just resting in the OP's account

Revolut I think can do it

I think you can send money with Google pay using a linked card? I had a friend who sent me a few ££'s and all he needed was my email address.

Anything which lets you do that should log it as a cash transaction and you'll get charged the cash transaction fee by your card provider.

Thanks for the suggestions. I checked out Skrill and it seems you can do it via that but im a bit concerned about the absolutely appalling user reviews the site has. Anyone use it and confirm its good ?

I tried setting up Google Pay but could only find a way to send money to another user via Debit Card rather than Credit Card.

Yes. When I used PayPal I used to get small charges for sending money via credit card, oddly enough PayPal stopped charging that fee about a year ago which I found odd.

I have and use a skrill account - they have good security and 2FA - I keep a reasonable balance in there - transfer fees are a bit crap if you're not a VIP ( I use it for matched betting so it's easy for me to get my deposits up ) but if you absolutely have to do what you want to do then I can def recommend
