Google Wallet takes over app duties, but it looks like Google is quitting P2P payments.

    I actually installed bank computers thank you very much. Even had C3 level security clearance for a bit to do my job.

    I can’t help it that their software can’t do a simple fucking direct deposit from the IRS, I didn’t write any of their software, I have no idea how it’s supposed to work, and even the bank manager couldn’t understand why the deposit didn’t go through either.

    When I realized even the bank manager couldn’t understand it, was when I said fuck this, closed my bank account, and have stuck to physical cash ever since.

      Are you US based? US banking infrastructure is very far behind. I’m 28 and I’ve never used or seen a cheque. Been using banking apps all my life

        Yes, unfortunately I was born and raised in the chaotic country of the USA.

        I’m almost 42, so I don’t exactly take offense to occasionally being called a boomer. But hell, you’d figure the bank manager should be able to answer why a deposit transaction didn’t go through.

        Banking apps weren’t quite a thing yet then though, as smartphones didn’t quite exist yet. Any online banking done then was on a computer through a web browser.

        Sigh…

          Yeah it’s not your fault at all, it was harsh for the other commenter to call you a boomer but I won’t like I did chuckle. The US is slowly catching up, the bank I use mainly Monzo is now operating there, not with as many features but I highly recommend if you do want to try a more modern bank.
