I found out my girlfriend is in the very final stages of paying down a 5000$ debt to richmond public utilities. It stems from a period a few years ago when the water bill suddenly skyrocketed for no apparent reason for like 2-3 months. Did she a) talk to the landlord about the sudden bill increase b) talk to the utility company about the possiblity of a leak or c) move and pretend it didn't happen while slowly paying it down? Apparently her anxiety was just too much and she didn't realize she had options. I love her but this one was a bad with money headshaker.

Refunds from some UK companies and government agencies use cheques, presumably as a way to make it harder to use them. You can just take a photo on your bank app now, though mine gets confused with the photo of the back of the cheque because they're always blank.Angrymog posted:I heard that US banks will honour pull requests against the account, whereas here (UK and presumably Europe too) unless you've authed a direct debit, your bank details can only be used to put money into your account? It is possible to set up a direct debit using someone's account details (plus name and address) without their knowledge but they can just cancel it and claim fraud to get the first payment back. Noted idiot Jeremy Clarkson once put his bank details in a newspaper column with exactly the statement of "what are you going to do? Send me money?" And someone signed him up to donate to a donkey sanctuary or something. Which he then kept on paying for iirc.

Zelle sucks absolute dick and I can't wait for instant bank transfers to drop only so that my landlord will still ask for Zelle. Landlords are the last major holdout in the US where I can't tap my phone and buy it. Well, that and major purchases, but if I'm buying a home I'm fine with a couple additional steps in there.

Just look at the /r/relationship thread for all the wonderfully toxic drama you can get out of digging into your partners insecurities. I don't plan to hold it over her but god, I just needed to tell someone. She's been asking me for help doing things like proper budgetting, setting up her first 401(k), and getting an actually useful credit card and I'm finding little stuff like this and a self reported anxiety around money. It's been an interesting insight into how people get into money trouble, since I've been relatively fortunate on large expenses, make good money, and live like a miser. Similarly, I've been binging Caleb Hammer videos on youtube, here's his most viewed.

ranbo das posted:Zelle sucks absolute dick and I can't wait for instant bank transfers to drop only so that my landlord will still ask for Zelle. This is expressly why banks develop services like Zelle just before legally mandated instant transfer systems that they don't make money on are implemented. You won't ever read about it, though, since banks will never put on paper that they've developed a service that they can control themselves because they hate a govt managed system that won't give them their 0.3% (or whatever) of every transaction. And of course they can easily say "oh no, we did this voluntarily, before there was a bigger system, because we want to make things easier for our account holders." In Europe, national plaforms for instant transfers or online payments were developed by big banks in a lot of EU member states even though the banks already knew that a pan European instant transfer system was in the works. And the result is that people are now so used to their national systems that they reject and mistrust the pan European system that does the same. "Why does this web shop offer SEPA instant payments? Never heard of it. My bank uses Sofort/iDeal/MrCash and anything else sounds like a scam." And I don't blame them! Their bank has pushed this method as something that's easy and reliable, and that same bank has at the same time kept pushing the European Central Bank and the European Banking Authority to push back the implementation date of any possible pan-European instruments so they can get more entrenched in the mean time. Banking concentration is a lot worse in Europe than it is in the US, so the problem is even worse there. In most countries, over 85% of personal accounts are held with fewer than six different banks. This makes it super easy for the banks to collude (because that's what this is). That said, I think we'll see some big difference in how payment initiation will work over the next decade. People already reach for their phone rather than their card when they have to make a payment online. For now it's still often a virtual card that people use, but if transfers are instant in more and more cases, you can bypass the card and go straight from account to account through your bank app. And that may also spread to POS payments. I think the card networks actually messed up by allowing the phone to become the central device for payments. If users don't see and handle the card anymore, they don't know and don't care how the payment happens. Once everyone uses virtual cards on a phone, it's only a very small step to instead move to account to account instant payments, from a user perspective. On the other hand, visa and mastercard and to a lesser extent the others are more than powerful enough to lobby govts and banks to make stuff go their way. Or they can somehow invent a new middle man role for themselves. It'll be interesting to see how this shakes out over the next two decades and what we'll end up with. As long as it's not crypto

When she eventually mustered the will/focus to call the credit card company, she learned that when you wait that long they open an “investigation” instead of just giving you the money back, and the “investigation” entails calling the merchants up, asking “hey was this fraud?” and then closing the case with no further action when the merchants inevitably say “nope, totally legit, we definitely should keep that money we received.”

Of course, he can't actually do that because his live-on-ramen-for-a-year plan doesn't add up if he actually included putting aside the ~$1700 a month she needs to do ASAP.

For gently caress's sake, I'm even on her side after finding out she's a loving bitcoin true believer.

Like discovering that the train ticket dispenser is operated by a Japanese man hiding behind a wall hatch. There isn't a person manually writing out each check. The info you put on the website gets sent to the check printing machine that prints it out in one of those perforated mailers. If there's a human involved they are walking the box of printed and presorted by zip code checks from the machine to the mail truck.

The fun thing about checks is how much process and infrastructure we’ve created to integrate this legacy piece of paper into computers, and it all ends up like, 1) Payer opens their app and uses bill pay to send a check. 2) Bank prints and mails a check. 3) Payee receives check, opens their app, and digitally deposits it. It’s like fax machines and hospitals.

Then who's the guarantor in case of scams, fat-fingered transfers, etc.? No, it won't bypass banks, but it'll bypass your creditcard, be it virtual or plastic. Money is just going to go from your back account into a business's account when you pay something. This cuts out the card network as a middle man, and the merchant's acquirer or payment processor is going to have to take on a different role instead of just "we're hooked up to visa, mc and amex and you simply have to go through us." The acquirer wil have to offer some other value add, probably on the user experience end. Stripe, for example, has been working very hard to get merchant's addicted to their software and dashboard so that it can keep offering that service regardless of how payments infra develops. As for scams and fraud etc, how that is going to shake out between the banks of the two parties (and possibly a payment processor) in a transaction is something that will remain to be seen

At least in the US where credit cards offer cash back and significantly better protection than debit, credit cards are here to stay. FedNow will replace the things you use other services for though (mostly splitting bills with people and rent).

My bank has an option to send money directly via receiver's phone number if they have enabled the same service but most of my bank transfers go through SEPA. The most popular app instant-paying app here is Mobilepay and I think that it's still connected to a credit card and not directly to your account. Funnily though banks no longer own all the payment platforms -- Sofort belongs to Klarna and while Mobilepay was developed by Danske Bank, it's been spun off and combined with Finnish Pivo and Norwegian Vipps combining the technology but keeping the product names separate. quote:That said, I think we'll see some big difference in how payment initiation will work over the next decade. People already reach for their phone rather than their card when they have to make a payment online. There is one wrinkle in the SEPA payments when comparing online banking via browser and the app in your phone: I use banking app and transferring money to our household expense account (another bank) is instant. However my wife still does her banking through the web bank and her transfers go through the next banking day which is bad if she gets paid on friday and does the transfer after 16:30 -- then the money is on the household account monday night. According to our bank there should be no difference but I beg to differ.

Oh, I think some of the confusion here is that, at least here in Denmark, on my Dankort debit card(I think they're partnered with VISA, but are the ubiquitous payment card for any Dane that isn't some bougie rear end in a top hat or easy scam mark using a credit card), we don't actually have any "network fees" for the end user. They're entirely on the merchant, and are determined and capped by law, plus it's also illegal for the merchant to pass the network/processor fees on to the customer(though the transaction fee is still only about 7 US cents). Also maybe it's just me being a neanderthal, but I would absolutely feel like running all my payments through my phone would make me more vulnerable to hacks and fraud rather than a comparatively inert card that only interacts with my bank account when I physically expose it to another piece of technology. Plus then I'd have to upgrade from my 3310 which is just enough technology for me, thank you very much.

I don't think anywhere in the civilized world has fees for the end user anymore, outside mom and pop shops that may add a small percentage for amex since their acquirer charges them so much more for amex. Realistically, they just shouldn't accept amex if they can't absorb the cost for the small number of users. Even minimum purchase amounts are only still a thing in the smallest of shops where people would otherwise buy one single piece of chewing gum. I'm not intimately familiar with the Danish situation, but it looks like it's similar to many other similar countries: a nationally branded debit card system that started by the biggest banks being cobranded with V-Pay and later Visa (same split as Maestro -> Mastercard in much of the rest of Europe), that at least originally couldn't be used online on its own. Dankort fees being capped by law is exactly why Danish banks have an incentive to instead use a domestic account to account system for online payments. Depending on the law, which I don't know the specifics of, in many cases only card payments are covered, and only for domestic users. And even if you do use the card for authentication for online payments (putting it into a chip based authenticator device), it's still a payment from the person's account to the merchant's account. The EU wants to replace all of these national online payment systems with something pan European because it wants people to not have to open a local bank account if they more within Europe. A Greek person living in Netherlands should be able to keep using their Greek bank account for all of their daily purchases, the reasoning is, and that's not possible if the only checkout option offered is the domestic iDeal system. So instead of iDeal or any other national version, the European Commission wants banks to all work the same way so that Greek guy will see an option to use whatever European bank he wants by entering his IBAN (account number) and being forwarded to his own bank for authentication, instead of being asked to select his Dutch bank or get hosed otherwise. And the EU wants this to be cheap to merchants, just like they've capped card interchange dramatically for transactions from European card holders to European merchants (I think it was mainly acquiring banks that took the hit on this one). This European system is what all the big European banks have been pushing back on. But I'll stop making GBS threads up the thread. This isn't the European payments infrastructure thread, and I don't think having one of those is interesting enough anyway
