Square Cash - Email money to anyone’s debit card • Hacker News Board

So, essentially, it's the same as Paypal's free personal transfers, just done through email with a after-the-fact confirmation. Shrug. I'm doing fine with the paypal app today.

Anyone know what the fees are? Standard would be a bit cheaper than Venmo for credit card, will they offer free from a bank account in a similar manner?

It's 50c by transfer (payed by the sender).

Is it just me or did anyone else see a crazy guy run across the street in front of the car in the video.

I see email spoofing being a problem with this.

Anything that lets me not use PayPal is a good thing.

I honestly can't tell if the commenter intended their statement as a compliment, an insult, both, or value-neutral.
